Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

COLORING AGAIN
Have any of you enjoyed these adult coloring books? Very relaxing hobby. I order my books from Amazon. This book is made by bluestarcoloring.com . I use gel pens for these pages.
When I go to my card making group it is amazing how quiet twelve women can get if there is a coloring project involved. It is so relaxing, almost meditative.
I have seen the books, but have not succumbed. I wasn't good at colouring between the lines way back when, and shaky hands ensure the trend would continue. Love what you have done.
Now those are really creative and pretty. I got a few coloring books and crayons for my disaster kit in case the power goes off. However I went for the more juvenile books with stock horses, cows and pigs. I'll have to check into gel pens. Haven't heard of them and I might try the more adult coloring books.
There was a time when I would have enjoyed such. Now I paint with my photography and filters and shading and highlighting. Those books are marvelous and very popular and there was an article that they were a good way to relieve stress.
No...I haven't...I've heard about them, but I doubt I'll do them. I can understand people enjoying doing them, though...and it would be a relaxing pastime. I enjoy sketching...and I keep telling myself I must pick up my pencils again. I got a far as buying a new sketch book a few weeks ago...a start! lol
i like this, but i have not tried any
ReplyDeletei was never good coloring inside the lines

Love coloring books for adults. By the way, they make great additions to care packages for our deployed military.

I do colour but have been frustrated with the pencil crayons I use. Gel pens are a great idea!

ReplyDeleteNice! I love the sting-ray; the contrast really makes it pop.
ReplyDeleteI haven't done any adult colouring books, however one of my friends just bought one and is having fun with it.
I just started hearing about those. Looks like fun - you did a beautiful job!
ReplyDeleteah! love it :)
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of them, but your coloring is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThey look lovely but I don't think I have a spare space - especially now that I have committed to posting my book - a chapter at a time on my blog.
ReplyDeleteThose do look like fun! Very nice to look at too- thanks
ReplyDeleteLike the dolphin best!
These are very pretty. As a matter of fact, my daughter ordered on and she colors them whenever she gets a chance.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen this but it looks like a fun thing to do when I'm stuck in an airplane. You did a gorgeous job!
ReplyDeleteJust popped in to say Hi. Hope all I well. xox
