    @MrsYellowJacket: looking good! Can't wait to see when it's done.

    @fancyfunction: oh, thats a cute book!

    @mrsjyw: that looks beautiful!

    I just finished this two page spread. It took me a loooong time. This book is starting to get a bit annoying. Lol.

    @gentlelunette: it looks good!! Try a different book I'd get bored of the repetitive patterns

    @gentlelunette: Thx - and yours looks good!

    My book is one long panel that can be detached in sections so I think I'm going to make one for the new baby's room and frame it. It will go well with a lot of the London-esque art pieces I plan on getting.

    @Bao: looks great! That is super detailed and small! No wonder it took so long, lol.

    @sera_87: @BadgerMom: @Bao: Thanks so much ladies!

    @Mrs.KMM: @abbydabbydoodlebug: Lots of practice. Before adult colouring books existed, I was big into colouring kids books. Never grew out of it I guess. There are some great tips here: http://pencils.com/tips-shading-colored-pencils/

    I don't use an eraser, though. I also don't use black often. I will use varying shades of grey and white to create black. Same goes for white. I will use light greys and white to create what appears to be white.

    @sera_87: Those are beautiful! You are pumping out the pages!

    @simplyfelicity: Beautiful! Looks like a very inviting garden.

    @Bao: Love it! I bet it took you forever! That one is so detailed; I've been avoiding it. haha You did a fantastic job!

    @hellobeeboston: Interesting article! Thanks for sharing.

    I am not as stoked on this one, but it's done so I'll post it!



    *oops. Sorry that it's sideways? It's straight in my files so... I don't know how to switch it? LOL

    @.twist.: geeze that's awesome! The previous one I posted wasn't my favorite but I think it became hard to coordinate colors with that much going on.

  32. simplyfelicity

    cantaloupe / 6634 posts

    If I get any good, I might pick one of these up. Might be cool to do these in my master bedroom colors.
