Seahorses

I decided to post this one here because @iweartanktops6 posted this one from Lost Ocean when this blog first started.  You can see her version here:

I was really happy with this until I accidentally grabbed the wrong pen for the "background" of the seahorses.  Of course once you start with pens/markers it's too late, so I just had to go with it and hope for the best.   They are very muddy which is a bit of a bummer.  The picture quality leaves something to be desired since it was taken with my husband's phone that has been through the washing machine.

For a phone that has gone through the washing machine the picture looks good, personally I think it adds a nice quality to the whole thing like there is invisible water surrounding everything.

Oh, man, I love the aqua and light blues and greens!  It looks very oceany.  And the pop of purple is gorgeous. I have picked up the wrong colour by mistake, too, and, as soon as it's on the page you think, oh NO! and then you have to figure out how to cover it up or make it work. You made it work!  I wouldn't have thought it was a 'mistake', had you not mentioned it. I agree that your husband's phone is remarkable, and I can imagine how much prettier this is in real life. 

By the way, one of my Copic markers, in a bright pink shade I adore, seemed 'very wet'. Then, twice, it basically spewed out a huge bubble of colour that spread all over. Quite devastating.

I like it! I've messed up on the colors before. It's a huge bummer! Did this take forever? I did mine over quite a few days, and colored different pages in between. For some reason all the little details in this one were a bit daunting. Thanks for tagging me! It's so fun to see how we color the same page!

Wow, I really really like this one.  Thanks for posting the link to @iweartanktops6's version, that was cool to see the two! I love that many of us have the same books and we get to see a different artist's rendition of the page. Also, it made me go into a time suck rabbit hole of looking at all the past blog posts... :)

It did take me about 3-4 days, which is pretty long for me.  I worked on stuff in between, as well.   There was A LOT of little detail in the seahorses.

I like seeing how other people color the same page, as well.   I have 3 or 4 pages coming up to be scanned that other people have already colored, including the lovely owl that @Fascinated did from Animal Kingdom.

I love the colors!  One day I will get brave enough to try markers, but until then I'll enjoy everybody else's work!

      She did! Ezra Michael Holloway born 24 April.

      So this was Isa's 'birthday cousin'. So the baby on Rachel's lap must have been hers, born earlier? Cause they are in Paraguay, right? 

      She bragged that she's got three under three! Got a late start but going hard.

      I think Addie had her baby because Sarah Shearer posted a story about two of her friends had babies.

      My sister knows I'm a hardcore snarker. She got me this for my birthday, I thought you fellow snarkers would like to see some of my favorite pages. Besides, it's my ultimate umbrella of authority as a snarker to spread the snark wherever I can. 

      If links are allowed here's where she got it: https://amzn.to/3y3vuyN

      They're moving when their lease is up. They need a "fresh start". They've decided to move "out of state" to a place closer to Ryann's family, good medical care, and a lower cost of living. But they won't say where they are going. However Artemis will be baking pies as a fundraiser for those in the Seattle area.
