@Bao: I normally love markers as well, but I'm afraid they'll bleed through the page. Maybe my technique is wrong?
-
@NCSUchick27: I don't really like the container. At first I thought it was fancy and I like how the case stands up, but I find it a hassle putting them in their slots. I'd prefer just having those old school metal tins. But I really like how soft and smooth they are.
-
@SugarplumsMom: mine don't bleed through on my Enchanted Forest book...I hear they do on Secret Garden though
-
@Bao: I read the same, but for some reason mine does. It hasn't actually full out bleed through though - but you can definitely see a hint of color on the back page.
-
Here are a couple of pages out of the Enchanted Forest book that I have finished. The one with the chest was colored with regular Crayola colored pencils, and the one with the vine and flowers was mostly colored with my new Staedtler pencils. I think the Staedtler pencils are a lot more vivid without having pressed down super hard.
I am not much of an artist, but I have fun.
ETA: I just noticed the I missed a leaf and a stick on the chest picture.
-
The book that I have. I need to look into ordering markers!
-
I ended up with colored pencils. I chose these that I found on amazon. Seems like the reviews say that they are softer and more vibrant than Crayola. But they are not as soft as prismacolor, but not as expensive either. Here they are: http://www.amazon.com/Ohuhu-48-color-Colored-Coloring-Assorted/dp/B00U78NQHO

@NCSUchick27: I had to take a second look at your flower picture it looks similar to the one I just colored! Pretty! @abbydabbydoodlebug: did you just order them or have you actually tried them?
-
@Reese: that lion is amazing I want to color that so bad!
-
@abbydabbydoodlebug: I love the look of that book!
-
@NCSUchick27: Oooh! I'll have to look for those at Target! My markers are supposed to come from Amazon tomorrow.
-
@Bao: I just ordered them, so I haven't tried them yet. They have good reviews on amazon and I couldn't bite the bullet on prismacolor. I'll let you know next week how they are! I actually got the 72 count so I'll have tons of colors. I'm really excited!
-
I just bought a book! I got the inspirational one....it has quotes in it. I really wanted Color Me Happy, but I was sold out! I also got some markers and colored pencils because I wasn't sure which ones I'd like. I can't wait for them t arrive on Monday!
-
@Mrs.KMM: it has some great pages inside! Sorry for the poor lighting. I took these at night! I love how frame-able these are. I want to color s few and frame them for my DD's bedroom.
-
@abbydabbydoodlebug: ok - love those! Since I have a couple of books coming already, maybe I'll put that one on my Christmas list (MIL has already been asking for one)!
-
Anyone use the Colorfy app? My friend just posted one of her designs on IG and I think it will hold me over until my book arrives tomorrow.
-
Wow. These colorings are so beautiful! Hope you all share some more!!
-
@bluestriped bee: never heard of it!
-
I love colouring!! I did it a lot during my pregnancy to help ease my anxieties (and keep me off of google!) This is the one I have, but I don't love it. I have been eyeing the Enchanted Forest one for months now, but haven't pulled the trigger. I think this thread has inspired me to go get it!
-
@gentlelunette: get it! It's so much more detailed but that's what I like about it.
-
I just got my pencils last night and started on my first page! I can't wait until nap time so I can do more, haha. I love seeing finished pages so keep posting! I'll post mine when I'm finished.
-
My Enchanted Forest coloring book was just delivered! Now time to start on my first page...
-
Look what just got delivered to meeeee. I am SO excited!
-
@cranberry: Looks like it was our lucky day!
-
I love colouring!! Finished my first page.
-
i think i need to find new markers or softer pencils. my SIL got me the secret garden one, but the pencils she got me are kinda firm and not vibrant. going to search through my supplies to see what i already have! you all have inspired me!
-
Finished my first picture! I used 30 different colors of Crayola colored pencils. Those leaves took forever!
-
@Mrs.KMM: so pretty!
-
@Peasinapod: whoa, that looks like it took a long time, lol.
-
@abbydabbydoodlebug: it really did
I liked that page because it was divided up into little squares so I just did a few each night before bed to unwind.
-
@abbydabbydoodlebug: I have a few more I'll share in a bit! I love finishing pages
@cranberry: @.twist.: yaaaay!!! Share when you finish pages!
@Peasinapod: @Mrs.KMM: love them! -
You guys are inspiring me to go out and get my own book and a new set of markers!! This looks so fun!
-
@hellobeeboston: do it! So worth it.
-
Just finished my first full page!

-
My Mom is an artist and suggested these for my 13 year old son, he loves them! I'm going to order them for myself too, I'd love to sit and de stress by coloring!
Stabilo markers and Zentangle coloring book.
