Have you seen the latest craze of coloring pictures for grown-ups? I've always been a fan of coloring books that have detailed designs, and so this doesn't feel like a new thing. Rarely do I have time to sit and color, but it is sooooo relaxing that I should probably make time for it now and again.
A little over a month ago I received an email from Ariel, and she suggested that I make a coloring page that kids young and old could enjoy. I loved the idea, and thought that the Hexagon Tinies patterns I made last month would be perfect for this.
Along with all of the little designs (which are resized a bit), I added a few extra tiny elements to color. These are the kinds of things that I like to color on a page like this, and I hope you'll enjoy them too.
I pulled out my Paper Mate Flair pens because they have fine tips...even finer than thin Crayola markers. Colored pencils would also work well for tiny coloring! I'm a Flair gal because after years of watching my dad use them, I finally embraced them and love them now. Especially in all their bright colors!
I've got another idea in mind for these little designs too, so if all goes well, you'll see them again in the near future. For now, if you need me, I'll be coloring!
They look so cute all on the page! It's also made me want to do an embroidery piece of them all just floating happy around.
ReplyDeletei'm going to do the whole page as a sampler, too. the tinies were so cute but this i know i can display :)
DeleteThese are so great. Colouring them would be so relaxing, although the food pieces are already making me hungry! The kids would love them as stickers too.

ReplyDeleteYeah.....love that they're all on one page!! Great for me....and my 10 year old will enjoy as well!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! My daughter already takes the print outs I have of your embroidery patterns to color them (her favorites are the ninja kitties). I just printed out a copy for her and one for me!
ReplyDeleteI hope you know how happy you make me and my children with your designs and your generous, open, creative spirit. Thank you for being you!
ReplyDeleteYou are so kind! Thank you. I'm always happy to know that my work is being enjoyed...especially by families!
DeleteThis is so sweet! Thankyou!
ReplyDeleteThese are soooo adorable! Thanks so much for making up this page. My kids and I will have a lot of fun colouring them in - and I think they'd be perfect as a 'digi' stamp image on a card!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Mollie! they are so adorable! I printed a bunch and my daughter brought them at her cheerleading summer camp and was the star of the day, them all loved it!
ReplyDeleteI was intrigued by the Paper Mate Flair pens! On Amazon.ca, I found some with a nylon tip, some with a porous felt tip. And some with a medium tip, and some extra-fine. Which do you prefer?
ReplyDeleteI prefer the porous felt tip, but the extra-fine nylon tips work great too. It's really just what you get used to.
DeleteLove this :-D
ReplyDeleteThis would be really cute to just stitch the whole thing, then display it. Love this!
ReplyDeleteI love this so much! I would love there to be more. I find coloring so relaxing.
ReplyDeleteTrop mimi, mes enfants vont adorer :-)))
ReplyDeleteMollie, this is adorable! Can't wait to color this with my kiddos tomorrow. :) Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI have this at work. When I need a little break, I just color in one of the tiny designs! Thanks so much! Friends have been stopping by and coloring too! And one mystery colorer! :) Will there be a fall one? (She asked hopefully!)
ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought about doing a fall one, but it's a brilliant idea. Let me see what I can come up with!
Deletelove it!! I really would appreciate more and more of these coloring pages!! I know that there are more but im just waiting for more ALL ON ONE PAGE!!
