WIP Wednesday – Coloring catchup

April 6, 2022 by Leave a Comment
A coloring page I started on Saturday.

Hello, I hope you are all well. I thought I would share some WIPs I am working on since the sun decided to hide from us today. It’s cool and rainy today and I took the day off to mellow out with some coloring and reading. The first image I started this past weekend was when I was on my weekly zoom craft session with friends. I chose it because it reminded me of spring.

My first attempt at coloring the Mandalorian.

Creating a metallic effect is not something I have a lot of experience with so I did some snooping online to find out what I could do to create the look. This one I started weeks ago and I think because it only required blacks and grays I lost interest. But I think I will see it through and maybe add some color to the background.

I love this illustration.

This is an old WIP that I believe I started last year so it’s time to complete the coloring. I love this image. I am not as good as I would like with coloring animal fur with colored pencils but I can only get better with practice. I am not a big fan of coloring owls and I think that is why I stopped but I think it’s time to finish this one.

These are the three books that the WIPs I am currently working on.

These are the three books I am coloring the WIPs in today.

Have a lovely day!

Good Morning Monday – Christmas Coloring books time!

November 15, 2021 by Leave a Comment

Hello! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I had a very nice one and am looking forward to a productive week. I spent some time crafting with my girlfriends on Saturday and I pulled out one of my Christmas coloring books. I decided to start now because I am not so into them after Christmas. I will color winter scenes then but not Christmas-specific pages. So in order to get to some of my newer books, I decided to start now.

This one is a color by number one so all the color selection is handled leaving me with relaxing coloring. This book features the artwork of George Toufexis. He has a number of coloring books and I own at least two of them. The pictures are really pretty and fun to color. I used my Prismacolor pencils and a couple of Polychromos.

I continued coloring on Sunday while watching football. I have a few more things I would like to do before it is complete. I was thinking of using my posca pen and gold and silver gel pens to add accents to the page and then it is on to the next page.

I hope you are having a happy and productive Monday!

What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday – #531

August 7, 2019 by 8 Comments

my desk…

Hello! Sorry I am late. I had class last night, and I had a hard time falling asleep when I got in bed, which resulted in a slow start to the day. But here I am to share my space with you crafty mavens!

For those of you that aren’t familiar with WOYWW (What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday), head on over to Julia’s Stamping Ground and you will find desks from all around the world where we get to snoop on other crafter’s desks.

This is my first real dive into my Dewert Inktense pencils. I have dabbled a little but this the first time I really went all in on the process. Today I am using my new Daydreams coloring book by Hanna Karlzon. It’s hardcover and absolutely lovely. I highly recommend it. The paper quality is suitable for pencils and water color. Then I found a Youtuber that used the Intense pencils on this page in her video. I loved her color schemes so much I just had to lift them!

Unfortunately I have to run out later and take my son to a doctors’ appointment or else I would spend the time to finish this page. I only have a little left. It has taken me several sessions to get this far but I think I can complete the remaining items in one sitting. I have to practice more with the blending but it is very relaxing working with these pencils and this paper. I look forward to coloring more in this book. I love this process of discovery. I know I have a lot to learn but definitely want to improve my skills with this medium.

Well I’m already late to the party so I am going to sign off so I can go snoop.

Happy crafting my friends!!

What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday – #505

February 6, 2019 by 9 Comments

Good morning to my crafty WOYWW friends! For those of you that aren’t familiar with WOYWW (What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday), head on over to Julia’s Stamping Ground and you will find desks from all around the world where we get to snoop on other crafter’s desks.

Well Happy New Year to all my WOYWW peeps! I have been MIA for way too long so it’s time to begin my snooping for the new year. I had a wonderful holiday break and then seemed to take a crafting break upon my return. So I had nothing much to share.

This is the first year, I decided to have some coloring resolutions for 2019. One of them is to color at least one page from the many coloring books I own. As with all of my crafting I have a habit of attaching myself to a craft and buying way more than necessary. So this year, I will attempt to color in all of my coloring books.  It should be challenging but fun.

This first coloring is in the Creative Haven Winter Wonderland coloring book. I just started coloring it this morning. So I will share the completed page when I finish it.

On my desk, you can see my bullet journal on the left with some washi tape on it. My cute calendar I received free from Minted printing when I ordered my Christmas cards from them. You can see some new Copic refills for three of my most commonly used colors. The refills arrived last week and I still haven’t gotten around to refilling the markers. Some stamping blocks, some really cute blank cards with envelopes that I bought for $3 at Target. Plan to use them for bases for some Valentine’s cards. my colored pencil tray and the bag below holds so new stamps and dies that arrived for me to play with later this week.

I hope you all are well and I can’t wait to snoop around on your desks. I have an appointment this morning so I will begin my visits when I return home.

Have a crafty day!

Belinda
