I coloured it so I may as well post it. Coloured pencils with attempts at shading.

@ClaraOswin and @Grimalkin, this, and the last glittery mandolin (?) picture, are from Color Me Happy (100 Coloring Templates That Will Make You Smile), which I ordered from Amazon. Not all 100 templates make me happy but lots do!  I only have two other books so far which are paisleys and mandalas, so I thought this would be a nice change.

Are you talking to me, @destiny31?? Your shading was far better, I think!  But, I enjoyed trying to blend the colours a bit. I used two pinky reds and an orange on the tulips and I do like the result. 

I also tried to get some light and shade but my strokes are not subtle and blended enough. I will try that again soon.

Very pretty and I'm jealous of your shading abilities! I haven't mastered that part yet. One day, hopefully :562479b0cbc9f_whistle1:

I think the shading looks nice.   Blender pencils are my favorite tool.   I mostly don't bother to shade stuff, which probably doesn't make my work as good, but I start to get really critical of my work when I do shading and since it's supposed to be a fun, relaxing activity, I try to keep it that way.

For some reason though, I think certain designs just naturally lend to shading.  Flowers when they are bigish are one of those things.

If you like Paisley and/or Mandalas I recommend the Creative Haven Paisley Mandalas book (or maybe it's by Design Originals.   I'll throw that one in my next coloring books post).

Really like your color choices...the tulips are my favorite!  I know very little about blending and shading techniques, but your work looks very good to me.  :my_shy:

      I for one don’t think this anonymous donor/supporter exists. I think they know others are more likely to give if there’s someone else validating the cause. Same goes for all those “one of my supporters has offered to MATCH all donations until X  time” posts that crop up occasionally. 

      Seattle has an a large LGBTQ leftist/ activist scene. It’s odd to me that they don’t seem involved at all in local activism given how vocal they are online about injustice. They  really need a community that’s NOT just a tumblr-esque echo chamber and codependent partners. 

       

       

      cause after a while those people will see through them. Its one things to yell through the I ferment in the comfort of your own bed. but to go outside and do on the grounds volunteering and work. that's a no go.

      My son is quite light sensitive so he happily wore sunglasses and a hat as a baby. What he didn't like was the chin straps on baby hats so I would cut those off and he was then happy to keep it on. 

      My daughter was less happy to wear a hat or sunglasses as a baby. Sometimes she would and sometimes she would rip them off.

      I wonder if whoever is offering to "help" Ryann and Art is aware of their grifting lifestyle.  I can see offering to assist a family member in crisis, helping them get back on their feet, navigate doctor's visits, apply for benefits, find a JOB, etc.  I doubt they are signing up to support these two and their pets for life.  Perhaps this kind person can help them see the way to a productive and less dependent life, but they are just so convinced of their own entitlement.  Gonna be interesting, and I suspect there will eventually be a reckoning.

      It's all for a new begging opportunity.  They'll be asking to have everything replaced with either outrageously priced or allegedly luxury level items.

      It's a some kids like them, some kids tolerate them, and some hate them.  My grandkids liked hats and still do. I did, however, teach the granddaugter to pull off hairbows and barrettes that some relatives insisted on buying.
