Colouring Days

As often seems to happen in January,

I am captivated by the art of colouring.

Perhaps because there is time at last to slow down

and enjoy the process,

the feel of pencil on the tooth of the paper.

In the last week I've coloured stamped images 

(the very cute Gorjuss girls);

created the 'happy' art using stencils

(the girls coloured their names);

and even dug into a colouring book.

My tools of choice at the moment

are Prismacolor pencils on any surface;

and Stampin' Write markers

on heavy watercolour paper.

It always takes me a while to remember good techniques,

 and what does and doesn't work,

these were all experiments. 

And just when I remember everything ...

it's time to stop.

Just one full week left of school holidays -

I'm hoping to keep my pencils close by

for that time, at least.
