GIVEAWAY | Two people will receive a spot in one REDEFINE the Doodle online workshop of their choice PLUS a signed copy of Doodles Unleashed by Traci Bautista.

ABOUT THE BOOK | Doodle, draw, paint and play! With Doodles Unleashed: Mixed Media Techniques for Doodling, Mark-making & Lettering, you'll discover wildly new ways to bring doodling center-stage! Traci Bautista teaches you how to use doodling as a meditative exercise, a raw form of expression and a vehicle for telling your personal story. Work with an arsenal of creative tools, from markers, pencils and pens to stamps, stencils, inks and paints, to find unique, intuitive ways to make your mark.

Inside Doodles Unleashed, you'll learn how to:


  • Doodle spontaneous marks, repetitive patterns, stylistic scrawls and more

  • Create textured and doodled backgrounds for your mixed-media art

  • Use photographs, vintage fabric and typography as inspirations for doodling

  • Combine mixed media with digital layers to leverage your art

  • Work with unusual tools--skewers, toothpicks, sequin waste and more--to create surprising and unique marks

  • Develop a doodling style that's all your own


And if that isn't enough, you'll find links for additional downloads and video tutorials sprinkled throughout the pages, for even more doodle insight. With over 60 doodling techniques and exercises, you'll find plenty of ways to unleash your creative spirit and make your mark! Follow the Doodles Unleashed online book tour for more inspiration. You can buy a signed copy in Traci’s Etsy boutique or find it on Amazon.

FROM RHODA | Hi there! My name is Rhoda Toynbee. I am a mom of 2 super talented kids. Wife to a very supportive husband. And a surrogate mom to loads of high school kids that I teach art too (or at least try to). I have always loved to be creative, but life usually has different plans for my time. I sell on Etsy to ensure I get a few minutes of creative time and also have a chance to share what I make. No point in making fun things if you can't share them! I blog (when I remember to) about Yoga, give away free digital art, and our crazy life. I make sure to have regular "walk and talk" dates with my sister, even though we live 350 miles apart. And plan frequent trips to visit both my sisters so we can have our Barnes and Noble dates. Family time and creativity. It's what its all about. Thanks for visiting my blog, and for helping me stay creative!

GIVEAWAY | One person will receive a $25 gift certificate to JetPens.

    Your blog inspires me. I love to write and do crafts, but don't know how to design pages, add text in a beautiful way, etc. I have lots of old vintage laces, fabrics, embroidery floss, photos, buttons, etc.that my mother left me when she passed away and I want to honot her memory by using them in my card making and scrapbooking.

      Lorie, have you looked into mixed media work? Since you've got some bulky stuff, the idea of more 3D work came to mind. Somerset Studio and Cloth, Paper, Scissors have magazines and websites that inspire me -- plus they provide techniques and instructions.

    Just took a workshop called praying in color. It was how doodling/coloring can be a form of prayer. Very cool!

    Wow I would so love a position in Tracy's class or her book. I have taken her free Strathmore classes and she is really good. But the cost is unbearable these days here in an almost bankrupt Grrece. And now you come to offer it to us!Thanks Ali - you rock!
