My Favorites Coloring Wall - Update #7 (10-10-26)

 Here's the newest update to "My Favorites" Coloring wall in my craft room.

I added the latest coloring that I did on 10-6-26

of an intricate mandala that I decorated with a lot of bling.

Here is the coloring matted on plum & turquoise blue cardstocks from my stash.

and here is the updated colorings wall.....

This wall is really fun because I can change out colorings as I go along.

Some will probably be permanents on this wall.

Thanks for your visit

&

Have a blessed day!

My Motto

 Love & Enjoy

what you do

&

Never

try to be anyone but 

You

Just a strong reminder to myself when it comes

to anything art related that I do.

~Card Making, Adult Coloring or Scrapbooking~

It's also a good motto for friendships.

I have a couple of framed inspirational sayings in my Craft Room.

It's just fitting to frame this motto as well.

I used my most favorite color of purple 

to place these words on.

Each word & letter is heat embossed in glitter.

Thanks for coming by & have a blessed day!

Mysa Digital Creations Vol I Mandala 10-6-26

This drawing reminded me of a bright & colorful carnival

with hot air balloons, brightly colored tents & streaming banners.

So, with that in mind, I've chosen this combination of colors

 because I've used them before on other colorings

and I think they look so good together.

The only thing I didn't care for were the ugly black dots.

My remedy was to cover them up with bling & pearls!

With the amount of scrapbooking/card-making stash that I have,

it's really nice to use some of it on one of my colored pages.

The photos don't begin to do justice to show how beautiful the bling is!

These are the Faber-Castell Polychromos colors I used,

with the exception of 1 Prismacolor in Chartreuse color.

Check out these close ups with the shiny bling!

Thanks so much for visiting

and have a blessed day,

Mysa Digital Creations Vol I Mandala 10-3-26

This is my very first coloring in this fabulous line of coloring books!

I chose to use my favorite color of purple in 8 variations.

Blue is my 2nd favorite color and there are two shades in this coloring,

as well as an orange & a green.

I belong to several coloring sites on FaceBook.

When you post your work, the rules are to 

include the coloring book & the medium(s) used to color the page.

This information allows everyone a chance to purchase 

the same coloring book and/or mediums, if interested.

There's a lady whose work has captured my attention.

She colors mandalas & intricate patterns (also my favorite things to color)

in books published by Mysa Digital Creations,

so I am very happy to learn about these coloring books!

Her name is also Lisa.

"Great minds think alike!"

Coloring these intricate patterns can produce really beautiful pieces of art.

I will definitely give Lisa credit for the inspiration!!

She & I both love purple as our favorite color,

so she uses it alot in her colorings.

This is why I'm really drawn to her art.

She does beautiful work & I hope that mine will be as pleasing to the eye.

Mysa Digital Creations currently has 18 coloring books 

of these beautiful intricate mandala patterns.

I've purchased Vol I & II as of this posting.

Seems all colorists lean towards something in particular that interests them

and for me, it's mandalas & intricate patterns.

I'm drawn to them.

I get the most coloring enjoyment doing these.

They're relaxing to color and don't require shading to look good.

I'm not too good at shading.

I'll stick with my personal 'mantra', which is for all of my hobbies:

"you must love what you do;

enjoy what you do;

and never try to be anyone but your own self". 

This has worked out very well for me.

Thanks so much for coming by!

Thank you if you took the time to read my post.

For me, it's a valuable reminder to myself

of who I am as an artist.

Have a very blessed day,
