Shower Art - get involved!

As artists we love to doodle everywhere. Come on - I know you are a doodler! You can find my scribbles everywhere: my sketchbook, phone book covers, post-it notes, back of envelopes, and my shower door.

In fact, I do my best doodling on a misty, clear glass shower door every morning!

It's a big canvas, so I can draw large or small. If it fades too quickly, I just add a touch of soap to my fingertip and the sketch lasts a bit longer.

My shower art tends to be abstract - swirls, geometrics, and very quickly drawn surreal flowers. It's extra fun to use all five fingertips at the same time - that really looks wild and free.

When my canvas is full and dripping, I use my shower squeegee to clean the artwork and let it mist up again for a fresh surface.

Although shower art is very, very temporary, it's a great way to start my artistic day. Why don't you give it a try??? ~ Melinda
