As some of you already know, I am fond of doodling with coffee stains. I was first inspired by (lo and behold) an accidental coffee stain, whose shape spurred me to turn what was initially a random event into art. I recently posted about purposely creating a bunch of coffee stains as doodlefodder, and my friend Joyce Grant suggested I post one of them and challenge people to doodle with it. Here’s the original coffee stain:
I had SO much browsing creations by artists of all ages on social media – thanks to all who posted! So much so that I will probably do more coffee stain challenges. 🙂 I’ve posted a few of the entries in this post, but you can browse all of them via the #CoffeeStainChallenge hashtag on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. You can click on any of the images below to be taken to the original post. Participants below include Kevin Sylvester, third-graders in Shari Daniels’s class, 10-year-old Trenton, Eric Fan, Susan McKenna Grant, Hazel Milburn, Heather Baillie-Brown, Carey Johnson, Rachel Comeau, Caroline Fernandez, Joyce Grant, Mark Wilder, Lisa Doherty.
Here are just a few of the wonderful creations people made from my coffee stain (and scroll to the bottom for the link to my GIVEAWAY of one of my original coffee stain doodles):
And here’s what I came up with:
