Circles of Calm
A spiral bound A5 booklet of hand painted watercolour backgrounds to doodle into. Printed on recycled paper and posted within the UK.
An invitation to pick up a pen, any pen, and simply doodle whatever the watercolour background inspires you to do. That could be abstract lines, dots or circles following the watercolour blooms, or flowers, animals and scenes if that's where you go.
Give yourself permission to
Make wobbly lines, they add character
Pick up and put down your doodle, 10 minutes or an hour, your choice
Create marks that don't look like anything recognisable
Enjoy the process even if you don't love the result
Think of these pages as breathing spaces in your day. Like meditation, the value is in the gentle attention you bring to the present moment. When you follow a curve or place a dot, your hands are busy and your mind can relax.
What it does for you
Deep relaxation, calming your nervous system and slowing your breath
Freedom from perfectionism, because there's genuinely no right or wrong
Stress relief, quietening mental chatter
Improved focus, simply by being present in the moment
Creativity that flows without you even trying
How it's made
I paint the watercolour backgrounds by hand, then scan them in. Some images are completely original, some I've adapted in Canva to add interest and variety. None were created by AI.
Circles of Calm is professionally printed with a 250gsm recycled card cover and 125gsm recycled paper inside.
