Running with Scissors

2011-02-14T22:37:00.000-08:00

I'm back with an all new style...CHIBI!!!

Heya! I have a new style for you- chibi! Chibi's are the cute, short, chubby characters with super-exaggerated expresions that often appear in manga. Here is my latest chibi girl-(mum calls her "running with scissors". ...I like that name.

More drawing

2011-01-15T20:42:00.000-08:00

We had a friend visit us this week. We call her Pink Sharon because she loves pink. She asked me to do a drawing of her, and so this is it! I think she likes it because she said "OMG, I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE it" when I emailed it to her. Mum and I are working on printable wish lists, so hopefully my Etsy store will re-open soon.

All I want for Christmas

2010-11-22T01:09:00.000-08:00

Hi! I'm back! And with some all new drawings too! I've been drawing kawaii/chibi on bits of Xpress It cardstock with a multi- liner. Soon YOU will be able to get some of these as my shop will be re-opening soon, but you will not be able to get the patterns above because they are my family's.... OH! but you'll get something similar!

Ta-ta!

KateDoodlez.

naughty girl

2010-08-29T22:19:00.000-07:00

Hi! It is I ha ha! This is one of my latest designs that I have coloured in with copic markers.
This girl isn't as innocent as she looks, naughty, naughty, naughty...(PS: I put LOADS of effort
into her skirt, hair & everything else!)

Ta ta for now,

KateDoodlez

Another anime drawing

2010-08-29T02:49:00.000-07:00

Miss KateDoodlez has been sick with flu all week, but felt well enough to draw this gorgeous creation yesterday (oh, this is MumDoodlez!). She's really coming along with her new love of anime, and feeling well enough to draw some more today ... wait until you see more this week!

I've been sewing!

2010-07-27T00:27:00.000-07:00

Look at what I made! This is sammy squid, a "Bit of Whimsy Dolls" pattern. I made him on my mums sewing machine, my first ever machine sewn doll. He is SOOOOOOO cute!

see you soon,

KateDoodlez

KateDoodlez goes anime!

2010-07-20T22:18:00.000-07:00

Hey there! Its KateDoodlez here, and I'm into anime right now! Ive drawn HEAPS of anime
drawings so far, (PLUS Im planing on doing an anime KateDoodlez, cool huh?!) See you, KateDoodlez.

Lime & Lavender

2010-07-13T22:09:00.000-07:00

I've been making cards in the school holidays. The challenge theme at Inkurable Stampers is Lime & Lavender, which I really like together. This is one of Mum's Greeting Farm stamps, and I coloured her (and the card) with copic markers. The greeting is a Stampin' Up! curvy verses stamp. I thought the saying went really well with the party girl.

My starry card

2010-06-15T22:58:00.000-07:00

I made this card for fun, and to enter in the Inkurable Stampers blog challenge. The theme is stars. You can click here to see more about it.

I used Mum's new Charlotte stamp (Kraftin' Kimmie) and copic markers RV91, E02, W-7, R27, C-5 and W-3. I also used some star print paper from my stash, prima flowers and Kaisercraft gems. The tag inside was punched with the Stampin' Up! tag punch. I also used a bunch of red and black inpads . I hope you like it, and don't forget to go and check out the Inkurable Stampers blog.

Paper art doll

2010-01-20T20:36:00.000-08:00

This morning I made a paper doll to enter in the Inkurable Stampers challenge for January. This is one of my cartoon characters, and I cut everything out by hand without a pattern. I think she's foxy :D Check out the other entries by clicking here.

New KateDoodlez characters

2009-09-13T03:03:00.000-07:00

I have been drawing some new characters this week. This is a poster of all of them.

Meet Ally!

2009-07-09T02:42:00.000-07:00

A couple of weeks ago we went to the RSPCA to look for a kitten. There were some pretty ginger kitties, but the lady brought out this beautiful grey tabby, and she started purring and purring. She chose us really, and that's the way Mum says it should be with pets. She has been living here for 2 weeks now, and she is super extra cute. I have been taking some photos of her, and this is my favourite from today.

I'm in a Treasury!

2009-05-17T15:56:00.000-07:00

I was very excited when Mum told me I am in a Treasury today. I really like some of the other kids' art in here as well. Thanks to EnchantedMemories for including me.

I have been very busy with school, Concert Band and Guides, so I haven't done much art lately. But Mum and I are working on something brand new after school today, so keep watching!

Cool competition

2009-03-06T01:40:00.000-08:00

I love my Australian Girl doll, and today Mum told me they have a new competition. I'm going to write a story about me and my doll Jasmine to enter. Maybe we will become mermaids and have an adventure under the ocean, or shrink and meet tiny fairies in a clover field. Who knows?!

Any girl 16 years old or younger can enter. Click here (Mum's showing me how to do links).

Squiddy is super cute

2009-02-22T20:15:00.000-08:00

This is my newest ACEO ... Squiddy the Squid! I have been looking at lots of cute Kawaii things on Etsy, and I really like the big eyes. So I started drawing a whole bunch of underwater creatures, and then Australian Animals. Mum let me play with her twinkling H20's so I decided to make Squiddy into an ACEO. I really like it, so we put it in the shop today. Click here to go to the shop listing.

Paper dolls

2009-01-06T21:58:00.000-08:00

I made this set of dolls yesterday. They are the emotion fairies including happy, mad, guilty and worried. I love making paper dolls!

Christmas has been busy!

2008-12-28T16:32:00.000-08:00

I am really lucky. Mum and Dad gave us our own Australian Girl dolls for Christmas! Mum even made her a maxi dress to wear.

A few days before Christmas Mum won an ebay auction and now I have a trombone of my very own. It's old, but still shiny, and the slide is perfect. I am practicing every second day.

I passed my audition!

2008-11-25T00:43:00.000-08:00

At band this morning we had our auditions to move up from training band into the concert band next year. I had to play 'Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree' and 2 other songs that I learned last week. I also had to play a piece of music I hadn't seen before, and I only got 2.5 out of 10 ... but I only really started trying to read from music properly last week, so Mum was really pleased. Best was getting 9/10 for my scales.

I will have a purple concert band t-shirt for performances, and Mum is looking for a trombone of my very own. It's really exciting, and tonight we had a special dinner to celebrate :D

I love Bugs!

2008-11-08T00:52:00.000-08:00

Today I was picking some flowers for Mum, and I found this big praying mantis in the lavender garden. He was really interesting watch for a while, and Mum let me use her camera with the macro lens on to take some photos. I really like this one.

Tiny Kitty

2008-10-21T22:52:00.000-07:00

Koala (my Brownie leader) brought this cute little kitten to show us last week. He was so teeny tiny, only 3 weeks old. Mum took lots of photos of him, and I got to hold him. He purred and purred, and fell asleep in my hand. I was very sad that he died the next day, but I'm glad I got to meet him.

On the slide!

2008-10-06T23:46:00.000-07:00

This is my trombone ... well it's really the school's trombone, which I have on loan for this year. I have been practicing most days, and I'm getting better and better. My favourite tunes to play are "Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree" and "Minka Minka". I recently learned part of the "William Tell Overteur" which is really cool and I can play it faster now than I could at first.

I am saving and Mum is saving, and hopefully I will be able to have my own trombone next year, and move up from the training band to the concert band at school.

Happy birthday to Me!

2008-09-28T18:14:00.000-07:00

It's my birthday today, and I am 10!! Yay!!! I have listed a new ACEO in my shop. She's a beautiful mermaid, and Mum let me use her Twinkling H2O paints, so it's all shimmery. And to celebrate my birthday I am offering a free ACEO with every purchase for the next month :)

My new cousin is here!

2008-09-25T03:05:00.000-07:00

My Aunty Mel had a baby girl on Tuesday. We were allowed to visit, and she is really, really cute! I got to hold her and she slept and slept. Her name is Aston.

Mermaidia

2008-09-17T06:04:00.000-07:00

I drew this today for my great grandmother to cheer her up. It is a mermaid city, and has just been discovered by two divers. I love mermaids.

I love this new Australian Girl doll

2008-09-10T17:21:00.001-07:00

This is so cool! My Mum has a friend who has designed these really gorgeous dolls. They're just right for me and my sister, and they have gorgeous fashions too. I like the Emily doll because she looks like me, and my little sister can't decide ... she likes them all.

I wish everyone could know about them ... go look at the website ... there's cool comic strips on there too (and you know how much I like cartoons!).

www.australiangirldoll.com.au

I'm getting a new cousin!

2008-09-08T01:39:00.000-07:00

We saw my Aunty Mel yesterday and my little cousin Cooper, and my Aunty's tummy is VERY big! My new little cousin will be arriving soon ... maybe near my birthday next month. Mum says maybe 2 weeks. I'm just amazed that Auny Mel lost her belly button!

Sick

2008-08-28T23:48:00.001-07:00

I have been sick all week, and it's not much fun. I have made some new paper dolls, though, and my Mum helped me make some magnets with prints of my KateDoodlez to put in my Etsy shop. There are 3 sets:

The Witch
Katelon's Friends
Bunnies (these are photos of my pet bunnies)

Paper Dolls

2008-08-07T01:19:00.000-07:00

More than anything else I love digging into my Mum's paper scrap stash and making little paper dolls. I made one for my grandmother yesterday with 7 different dresses (one for each day of the week), so she can change her fashions. This is a doll I did a while ago, but I still like her.

Cute guinea pigs

2008-07-31T21:27:00.000-07:00

My Mum made these cute guinea pig toys for me and my sister today. The one with pink bugs is mine (I really like bugs), and the glitter and stripe one is my sister's. They were really quick to make, and she got the pattern from www.BitOfWhimsyPrims.etsy.com

New Etsy Listings

2008-07-29T22:34:00.001-07:00

Newly listed in my Etsy store is 'The Witch 2' ACEO. She's got a scathingly brilliant idea ... you can see it on her scheming face. Will she get Katelon's magic necklace this time?

And here is the her little sister Canobria (she's a good witch), about to slide down the back of a friendly purple dragon. This is a bookmark that Mum and I ran through the laminator to protect the artwork. We even trimmed the sharp corners :) Nothing but the best with KateDoodlez!

The Witching Hour

2008-07-28T17:57:00.000-07:00

It's been a big week at KateDoodlez. I sold my favourite ACEO 'The Witch' (Katelon's nemisis), and today I sold my witch pendant!

You can find squeals of delight from the new owner of the ACEO on her blog. Click here

Hello Dolly!

2008-06-29T19:25:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I felt like sewing, and made this art doll. She is made from felt, and stretchy material ... all hand stitched and one of a kind!

Three Frogs on a Blog

2008-06-21T00:06:00.000-07:00

I drew this for my cousin Cam. He has pet frogs and he wears glasses. When I finished drawing the frogs I said to Mum that it looked scarily like him. We made some prints and turned them into fridge magnets. Check my Etsy shop for one soon!

Katedoodlez Jewellery

2008-06-20T23:07:00.000-07:00

Today my Mum helped me to make some KateDoodlez pendants. Both of them are available in my Etsy shop for $7 plus postage.

I can put any of my KateDoodlez images onto a pendant from any of my Bookmarks or ACEO's.

Ninjas are cool

2008-06-07T04:15:00.000-07:00

Mum has been painting lots of ninja stuff, and I think they're really cool ... so I made a ninja paper doll. His sword is detachable too ... awesome.

Paper Dolls

2008-05-27T03:52:00.000-07:00

I love making paper dolls. I have been making them since I was 5. Mum lets me use her paper scraps, and I make them up as I go along. Next I'm going to make a ninja (because Mum's painting cool ninja stuff at the moment, and I want to try it too!). I made this doll for my cousin Reen.

A KateDoodlez Cartoon - 'Attention Shoppers'

2008-05-22T16:37:00.000-07:00

I thought I'd put one of my favourite cartoons on my blog for you to see. The witch is making an attempt to steal Katelon's magic necklace ... I hope you find it as funny as I do.

My Favourite ACEO

2008-05-16T17:20:00.000-07:00

This is my favourite ACEO. This is the Witch character from my KateDoodlez cartoons. She is always trying to steal Katelon's magic necklace so she can rule the world ... but she's not very good at it and usually ends up flat on her face *ha ha*.

I just re-listed this ACEO in my Etsy shop. It had over 180 views, but then I lost the views, so I thought I'd re-list it.

A day at the Zoo

2008-05-12T04:18:00.000-07:00

We went to the zoo on Saturday. Our whole family was there, from my cousin who is 1, to my great grandmother who says she's 21 ... but I don't know about that.

This was my favourite animal on the day. It's a Fennec Fox. Isn't it cute?! My Mum took this photo.

We saw the bird show, and the new sea life exhibit, but not many seals were out. We did get to see the baby chimpanzee, which was really, really cute.

Two Bunnies!

2008-05-07T03:08:00.001-07:00

There's another rabbit visiting our Butterscotch Bunny. Mum found out they've escaped from a neighbour. Butterscotch really wants to be with the other rabbit. I think they're sisters. My Dad is going to try to catch the other bunny tomorrow.

The Butterscotch Bunny

2008-05-02T23:19:00.001-07:00

Butterscotch is the cutest thing you've ever seen ... the softest thing you've ever felt and he beckons you for food. My dad caught Butterscotch the bunny today in our backyard. He has been visiting our yard and nibbling on our plants for 9 days. We borrowed a hutch, Mum bought some straw, and he's safe now from the neighbourhood dogs. I really want to keep him.

Katelon's Magic Necklace

2008-04-26T03:32:00.001-07:00

This ACEO was a custom order for a lovely lady in California called June. She asked for a picture of Katelon wearing her magic necklace ... and this was it. June also bought my PIF (pay it forward) ACEO from my Etsy shop ... Katelon's wand.

It's really exciting to know that my ACEO's are on the other side of the world!

Artist at Work / Play

2008-04-23T06:45:00.000-07:00

I am KateDoodlez, 9 year old artist, living in Australia.

This is my blog. You can find my newest KateDoodlez adventures here, so please check in from time to time to see what Katelon is up to with all her friends. Sometimes it will be artwork, sometimes cartoon strips, and whatever else I think of.

I have an Etsy store, where you can buy my KateDoodlez characters as ACEO's (Art Cards Editions & Originals), or jewellery charms, all handmade by me.

See this cool picture of me ... this was drawn for me by newspaper artist, Peter Lewis. I was really excited to meet him and ask him lots of questions. I want to be a cartoonist when I grow up. My Mum says people should buy my art now so they can be rich when I become famous! She thinks this drawing of me is scary and said something about getting her shooters license. I don't know about that. I really like it. Mums can be weird sometimes *ha ha ha*.
