I love coloring. I loved coloring as a kid and I’m happy to have picked it back up again as an adult.

How cool!!

What a fun and inspirational round-up! I bought the markers, I downloaded the pages, now I just need to find the time to color them in. I love seeing everyone’s projects and gathering ideas from them!

Wow @PhoenixFireDesigns, that is simply gorgeous!

@Whistlefish I may still your idea of colouring to practice blending and highlighting! I never thought of this, and it may help me learn to draw better.

@spaceradish and @gozer, another steal-worthy idea! I love zines and the idea of a colouring zine is pretty cool! I may just have to try this. And I remember Gozer’s zine from the swap! I would love to have another zine swap. That was so fun!

@RagingSloth cool colouring page! And the cross-stitch pattern! So cool! May I ask what program you use to create colouring pages?

@geekgirl Oooh, notecards from the colouring pages! I hadn’t thought of that! Most of my colouring books’ pages are too think for this, but I could add some cardstock to the back, and/or create my own colouring notes :slight_smile:

@megwell, I love the altered art!

Booksmarks! What a great idea, @Bunny1kenobi.

Thank you for including my envelopes, @geekgirl! :slight_smile:

I am going to be stealing a lot of ideas, lol!!!

I think at the time I didn’t use one. I just traced over my original to make it more uniform looking and then uploaded it. :joy:I figured since I was already making copies Incase I didn’t like how I painted it I might as well make it a coloring page too!
