A Gift For Your Brain
Thu Dec 19 2024

I have been following a blog called "Fountain Pen Love" for a few years now. This was BEFORE the latest deep dive I have taken into all things fountain pen just lately.

Yesterday he posted another in his series about doodling with your fountain pens. Here's the link:

Doodling With Fountain Pens: Radiate Pattern | Fountain Pen Love

This pattern just grabbed me by the inkwell and demanded my immediate attention! So, while I was listening to a lecture last night, I made this with three random pens I already had inked:

I am in love with the simplicity of this doodle. And it points out to me yet again how the human brain loves repeating patterns. We can't help ourselves. We don't even care what they are. We just like 'em.

If you are anywhere near inclined to doodle, I can highly recommend his blog right now. If you can draw a reasonably straight line .... over and over.... you can draw this doodle.

I hope you give it a go. Your brain will thank you. 💗

    Looks interesting, sort of like the spiralgraph phase in the 80s?

    Love reading your thoughts of the day! Love coming to DD on daily or regular basis to see what others have to say outside my own thoughts of the day

    simplicity is the key...the reason we like repetitive things is because it is a comfort...you do what you know already, your brain calms you with "relax, you can do it" and that brings in sensation of peace to your soul...truly relaxing zone of comfort...
