30 Day Coloring Challenge #4: Day 18 – I Completed a Coloring Page!

logo

Good evening my crafty peeps! I almost forgot to post my coloring for today. It’s the last day of vacation and I had a great coloring session this morning and then went off to hang out with the family. Then I just climbed into bed looking forward to some good reading and I remembered I didn’t write a post for today.

day18a As I mentioned yesterday, this coloring page is of the West African Goddess Oshun.  Today I really had fun working on this page. Typically my coloring projects are on a much smaller scale. So this was a fun change.

day18bI told you I was coloring today in the morning but what I forgot to mention is that I was in my jammies! And they actually coordinate with my mat on my desk – too funny.  I wanted to try to knock out some coloring early and then spend the rest of the day with Leao and the boys.

day18cHere is the finished piece. I looked up this goddess on Google and most representations of her were in a yellow dress so I colored her’s yellow and then the rest was me. I also looked up West African birds to see I could find one that was red and I did find one that had both black and red so I colored the birds that color.

day18dI covered her jewelry, headdress and lantern (think it’s a latern) with clear Wink of Stella for added sparkle. I was so delighted when I finished I grabbed something else to color and started coloring up this Saturated Canary digi. I have had her a long time and even had this one print and cut on my Silhouette so all I needed to do today was to color her.

day18e

I think it’s funny how the digis all have big feet. I have big feet too but I like to think mine are within reasonable proportion to the rest of me.

day18fI colored up her skin, hair and skirt first. I used my favorite denim color combo (B95/97/99) for her skirt.

day18gMaybe her shoes are Uggs. I don’t know I colored them that shade for a neutral color with all the pretty pink for the top and leggings. Tomorrow I will make her into a card.

I need to go to bed but I will be back tomorrow. Hope you had a blessed Sunday.

30 Day Coloring Challenge #4: Day 17 – Coloring a Goddess

logoGood evening! It’s day 17 of the challenge. Yesterday we went to the Boston Museum of Science with the boys and had a blast but I was wiped out when we got home so no coloring was happening at my house!

day17

Today I started working on a coloring page that I printed onto copic paper and began coloring it with my Copics. I love this picture of this West African goddess called Oshun. I had never heard of her before I saw her on this coloring page. I colored her skin and hair first as I often do and then began to color the leaves, vines and tree. I did a little more than this but I don’t like to shoot photos without natural daylight so I will finish it up tomorrow and share it in tomorrow’s post. I typically color smaller images so this was really fun.

Happy coloring!

30 Day Coloring Challenge #4: Day 16 -Clean lines card

logoHello Everyone! It’s day 16 of coloring goodness. Today I finished coloring up the garden beauty and made her into a card. I chose to keep this to what I call a clean lines card in that I just let the image be present without any distractions like patterned paper or embellishments. I just wanted to focus on the image so I added a little bit of earth to ground the image and put it directly onto the card base.

I used my MISTI to add the sentiment which was from WPlus9.

I really like how she came out and think I will add more cards like this in the future.

Today I am taking the boys to one of their favorite local comic book stores called WebHead Comics and then off to the library for a little browsing. It’s all about books today!

I hope you all are well and I’ll be back tomorrow.

Happy coloring!

30 Day Coloring Challenge #4: Day 15 – Coloring up this garden beauty

logoHello! It’s Wednesday…wow this week is going by fast. It’s vacation week for the boys and we have been spending time with family and also doing day trips. Today we had appointments and a few errands to tackle before I could pull out my markers and play.

day15a

I pulled out this garden beauty from Saturated Canary. I don’t know if it’s the strange weather we are having that is making me think about spring or what but I printed her out and started coloring.

day15b

I typically start with the skin and hair when I color. I love the curly hair on this image but I haven’t quite mastered coloring it up. More practice will give me more opportunities to play around with color and techniques.

day15c

I wanted to complete the card today but I have dinner to make and then quality time with Leao and the boys so tomorrow I will finish up the coloring and make a card.

Happy coloring!

Belinda
