Doodling games have arrived!

Here is how you play this one:

Go out in to the garden or a nearby garden. Hunt about until you find a snail.

Bring said snail back to the house where it is warm enough for you and your paints and pens. Of course that will make it warm enough for the snail to be active too. Let it wear itself out wandering around your kitchen while you mock up several designs that would fit your garden’s decorating scheme AND this specific snail’s shell. Curvilinear design will probably suit most snail shells more than the very blocky and linear versions. Of course I am quite happy to be proven wrong!

Gather all your art supplies in one place. Make sure that your workspace is clear and protected. (You really don’t want snail goo all over your table!)

Ready, Set, Snag Snail and Go!

Doodle on your snail!

Now send me the pictures!!!

This is one doodling game ya gotta play!!

Here is another snail doodle game….

Approach this one with caution. Certain chemicals maybe harmful to your pet snail.

So here is the basic idea – get some good paper and perhaps some water colour paint. Finger paint may work as well.

Step 1. Snag your snail.

Step 2. Pour a small puddle of paint onto the paper.

Hint – if you choose to pour the paint to one side of the page (about 1/3 over) your snail art will be more pleasing to the eye.

Step 3.  Set snail down in paint pointing towards the center of the page.

Step 4. Pour another two puddles of interesting colours and make sure that your snail does make it through all three. Best if it goes through each several times. You can bribe it with a tiny trail of sugar.

Step 5. Wash your snail.

Step 6. Let your creation dry.

Step 7. Take photographs of this doodling game and send them to me!!  Better still send me the video!!
