Hi everyone! It looks like 2017 is turning into a year where I'm spending a lot less time with words and a lot more time embracing the joys of quiet. That makes for kind of a quiet blog, lol. Ha Ha - so far I've filled about half a sketch book page while typing this. [...]
Today's slide show might be a bit slow to load because there are lots of photos! Today's coloring progress slideshow: Today's book: Breathe For Crayons And Wide Tipped Markers (Angie's Gentle Mood Menders - Volume 1) Colored with: Copic Sketch Markers Colored with these Copic Sketch marker shades
Sometimes coloring progresses so much more slowly than you expect. One of my most reliable coloring times each day is as my husband and I watch our daily episode of our show of the moment on Netflix. Over the years we've watched quite a few TV series this way, starting at episode one and day [...]
(A few thinky thoughts before the coloring update.) On January 1st, musician Brian Eno released his ambient music album Reflection and his companion generative music app with the same name. As I type this, I'm streaming the album track on Amazon Music, listening to the 54 minute long evolving piece of music and reflecting on [...]

Intense red shades add a lovely Christmas feel to a coloring. I think that combining lighter and darker shades of red on the jewels in this design really added a lot to the overall mood. They hint at sparkle and glimmer and remind me of the look of decorative lights on a tree. As a [...]
Today's coloring pictures show you the two tone shading that I used for the dark chocolate and mint candy chips on my frosted gingerbread cookie. Adding candy after candy color to this page starts to make the eye and mind expect to see candy everywhere - so it's fine if things aren't exactly true to [...]
Whoopsie! Flashback time. I've been trying to get a little ahead with my coloring photos, and yesterday assembled two photo slide shows. I know that a lot of you are used to me spacing out and forgetting what day of the week it is - but this time I'd like to present coloring progress day [...]
Gingerbread cookie coloring still. In today's slideshow you can see more of the "white" frosting that was colored using two extremely pale beige tones to give the white some frosted contour.
