Grand Wizard Goethe Owl

Finished this one just before I went on holiday last week, used Winsor & Newton Pro and Brush Markers. I enjoyed colouring this one in, it is from the Creative Haven Owl book.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer coloring book coming soon

An article from the great folks at Mental Floss. http://www.mentalfloss.com/article/83460/buffy-vampire-slayer-coloring-book-coming-soon But we have to wait until Jan 17 to get them.    Not quite my thing but I suspect there are others here that will want one.

Mystic Mandala 19

My latest, the design for this one was on the book cover.  which made it difficult not to be influenced.

Today is going to be awesome!

At work we have lockers, my coworker had this on her locker not colored. I could not resist coloring it and putting back on her locker.  I heard her whisper "Awwww love it" when she came in

Pampered Pets - Piggie has a Bath

Finally got to put pen to paper and get my first picture done since surgery 3wks ago. Took a bit longer than normal to finish as I was taking rest stops for my hand but so glad to get back to colouring! I used Winsor & Newton Pro and Brush Markers, starting to really love using the Brush Markers a smidgen more than the Pro's. Went a bit overboard with colour as I used 35 different pens to get this done lol

Coloring with Electronic Cross Stitch

So I found a Cross Stitch World app for my Kindle.  Now I have found that electronic coloring apps don't satisfy whatever it is in me that gets joy/peace/calm from coloring.  However, the Cross Stitch app does.  Yes, both are electronic.  Don't ask me why one doesn't at the cross stitch does.  And yes, I have cross stitched for real before.   I started a project on Facebook version of this so I could grab a screen cap.  It's below. Anyway wanted to share for those people who find it st

Creative cats tea party

Hey everyone. It's been a long time since I've finished a page, and I hate to say it but this page isn't even fully done.  I'm just mentally done with it haha it wasn't my favorite design and I didn't really like the way the colors turned out, so I just called it quits, but I thought I'd post it anyway.  As usual, I used my prisma scholar pencils.

Magical Mandala 8 - Grey Sky

I have had this picture waiting to post since I finished it in May. As with all my mandalas the colours I used are written on the page. I haven't been colouring the last 2 weeks due to my wrist surgery but hopefully will get to pick up my pens over the weekend and get cracking on a new picture. Hope you like this one

Quidditch pitch cross stitch - Complete! (Phase 1)

I finally finished the Quidditch pitch cross stitch I've been working on. I finally got to the store to get the color I needed yesterday. I started working on a second one so both my friend and I can have one, and that ones going a lot faster (though still takes forever) sicne I've done it before and am more familiar with the pattern. Next I'm going to turn this into a pillow. I'm getting sewing machine lessons from my mom.

Genie Lamp Cat

Finally finished my latest page from the Pampered Pets book and it seems like it took forever!  My eyes have been so tired from working that I couldn't color very long at a time.  This page was fun to color. I especially enjoying doing the lamp and the little castle in the background.

Bedroom - Team Effort

Shout out to everyone who helped me with color choices in the adult coloring thread! @Fascinated, @caszandra, @Curious, @Tikobaby... Now I'm afraid I forgot someone.  This was fun to color, but also stressful. You know, those pages you really like, but you're afraid you'll fuck up and choose a bad color? One of those. Oh, and the book is awesome if you like home stuff.  Fascinated suggested that I add FJ in the frame. So I did. Very sloppily.

Java Joint

This is by far, one of my favorite pages I've colored! I don't regret any of the colors, I took my time, and overall, I think it's beautiful. Also, this book, The World of Debbie Macomber: Come Home to Color has a lot of classic Pacific Northwest-type pages, which I love!  I'm so excited to share this!

Curious Creatures at the farm

Got this one finished a couple of days ago. It kinda reminds me of the American Gothic painting with one of the creatures holding a garden fork! Used my Winsor and Newton ProMarkers for all of it and one day I will write down what colours I use as I go along but I forgot to do it for this one.

Random Christmas Coloring

Still working on my Christmas coloring book. Only have a few left, but my anniversary is coming up and I'm thinking about getting a real coloring book and a larger selection of colored pencils as my gift  I've been really enjoying coloring and I feel like it helps when I get anxious, so thanks for giving me a place to share! P.S. My toddler added his own touches on some

Cart Cats

Has taken me forever to finish this one!  Too tired most evenings to work on it and my eyes are not cooperating lately.  I was too lazy to get my big camera and flash out so had to take the photo with my little point and shoot...not that great, but wanted to post it since it's been awhile.  This page is from Pampered Pets.  Copics used:  Lipstick Red, Yellowish Green, Lettuce Green, Chrome Orange, Process Blue, Acid Yellow.   Prismacolors: Spanish Orange, Parma Violet, Goldenrod, Sienna Brown, P

      Went here tonight for dinner

      They have a kind of Juicy Lucy called the Blucy - which is a type of Juicy Lucy with blu cheese.  When my mom, sister, brother in law, and niece were up last weekend we went to the 42nd street location in Minneapolis.  Tonight I went to the Como Ave location instead.  Yeah, it hit the spot.
