I love to color!!
I had forgotten how relaxing coloring could be.
My latest endevor has lead to a stash of this....
and this is what I colored....
(click on photo for closer look! I had way too much fun!!)
Here's where I began....
This fabric marker was one that I had on hand. It was glittery and didn't cover very well. As you can see I did get the best results from it and this lead me to purchasing more markers for testing purposes. Well, that's what I told the hubs every time he saw another JoAnn's purchase in my hands.
I did the heat setting with regular crayons, but the colors weren't as bright as I wanted them to be. I have since washed the sample, well not really washed, it was in the washer with the rest of my samples and the washable marker started to bleed so I pulled it out of the washer quickly! Heat setting the crayons will work, but not as colorful.
Still with me?? Want a couple?
Here's the giveaway...
I'm going to give 4 placemats away.

Coloring placemats isn't all that I've been up too!! Since I haven't done a giveaway in a loooong time, I'm going to have another fun giveaway very, very soon and trust me this one you won't want to miss. It's one that I did when I first started machine quilting and has to do with pattern testing too!
Okay, let the fun begin!!
thanks for checking on me,
hugs,

Those are adorable! It is hard to choose, but my grands would probably best love sea turtles and scoot!

ReplyDeleteHow very cute these are. I really like the turtles and under the sea. These would make great, and easy, Christmas gifts for two of my "great grandchildren."
ReplyDeleteAnd, of course, I haven followed you from ID to NH. ;-)

I like the trains....and puzzles
No wait...the flowers, bird houses....just adorable.
ReplyDeleteI did do a post because I really really think this is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo clever!!
ReplyDeleteLove them! I could see one for a girl with dressmaker form ans different outfits to color for her. I'd like a cracking egg through full grown dragon for myself. Your designs just made my imagination kick in. I would try Motorcycles and Under the Sea.
