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:

      Katie is just 20 weeks. She definitely announced Hailey’s name a few weeks/month after announcing the sex. Esther and Nathan announced them both at the same time though.

      I have no evidence to support this, but I've wondered if the larger anonymous donations are from family members who just can't give up on them because - - family. 

      Maybe Ryann's family contributed the $1000.  Ryann seems to get along with their family better than Artemis does with theirs.

      I saw the threads for her and read a few of them last year maybe. I had never seen her on social media. When I went and looked at her Instagram I could immediately see why everyone hates her, she's so full of her self. 
       

      This Mamas House is another one I cannot stand anymore. 

      Rooted in Rest recently did a video on how their family just thrives on being busy and everyone loves it and she still gets a three course meal on the table for 9 every night. Not once in that video did she mention her sister, father and husband all helping out in various forms during the week. I'm also just over the dance mom shtick. I don't understand why anyone would pay such substantial amounts for their kids to be in competitive sports. 

      I admit I am against that type of thing for my family. Like travel sports or dance competitions where you travel all over the place. I don’t thrive on being busy and neither do my children. I see so many kids who are overly busy and I can’t help but feel bad for them. When are they ever bored? Being bored can be a good thing for kids.

      If this woman bothers you, don’t ever go to the m is for mama thread. She’s insufferable, overprivileged, and completely out of touch.

      It amuses me at times when these women are so oblivious to how many advantages they have and start talking about how they overcame their hardships. Sure Jan, you overcame all odds.

      I bet we'll find out one day, if they're still in the public eye and it's at all salacious.  I still doubt it could be the racism thing since that hadn't stopped them before.  It might not be for several more years, though.

      If it's salacious enough, it will put them back in the public eye.
