Fairies in Wonderland - Tree House

It's been a long time since I last blogged - nearly 4 months! I've taken a slight colouring break for a variety of reasons but finally finished a colouring I started a while ago. 

This double spread is from Marcos Chin's "Fairies in Wonderland":

I used Caran D'Ache Pablo pencils, Prismacolor pencils and Pan Pastels.

Platypus - from Millie Marotta's Curious Creatures

Well, this week has been half-term for the kids and we've had family visiting so I haven't done much colouring but I did manage to finish this platypus from Millie Marotta's Curious Creatures last night.

This was completed using Caran D'Ache Pablo pencils and a white Faber Castell Pitt big brush pen.

Fairies in Wonderland - Welcome to Fairy Wonderland

This latest colouring from Marcos Chin's "Fairies in Wonderland" has been on my desk for quite a while but is now finally finished.

I used a gold gel pen from Amazon, Caran D'Ache Pablo pencils and Pan Pastels.

Well, well, well.........

Here's the well colouring from Johanna Basford's Secret Garden book.

This was completed using Caran D'Ache Pablo pencils and Pan Pastels for the background:

Magical Delights - First page

I recently used some of my birthday money to buy the gorgeous colouring book Magical Delights by Klara Markova.

This book is hardback, mostly printed on one side and full of lovely illustrations. 

Here is my first completed page using Pan Pastels, gel pens, Faber Castell Pitt pens, Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens and Caran D'Ache Pablo pencils. 

Escape to Wonderland - Cities

Here's another page from Escape to Wonderland by Good Wives and Warriors.

This was coloured using Caran D'Ache Pablo pencils and a few Marco Renoir pencils along with a metallic gel pen.

Fairies in Dreamland - Page 9

Not too sure about this one - I tried something different with the background but I don't think it worked.

Anyway, here's another page from Denyse Klette's book Fairies in Dreamland:

Fairies in Dreamland - this book belongs to......

I've been after the Fairies in Dreamland colouring book by Denyse Klette for a while and finally got my hands on it a few weeks ago.

This is the first page I've coloured, done using Caran D'Ache Pablo pencils and Marco Renoir pencils with a few gel pens.

Millie Marotta - cowfish from Curious Creatures

I didn't have a clue what to colour next so this was chosen for me by Jess. These are the cowfish from Millie Marotta's Curious Creatures book.

I used Caran D'Ache Pablo pencils for the fish and seaweed and Marco Renoir pencils for the background:

Always Something to be thankful for.......

I didn't realise I hadn't blogged this colouring from Deb Strain's Chalk Style Good Times book.

This was completed using a few Caran D'Ache Pablo pencils and some lovely gel pens from Amazon.

Millie Marotta - another Tropical Wonderland page

Here's a page from Millie Marotta's Tropical Wonderland book.

This was coloured using mainly Prismacolor pencils and a few Caran D'Ache Pablo pencils:

Magical Jungle - Name page

Another page completed in my Magical Jungle book.

This was done entirely with Caran D'Ache Pablo pencils with the addition of some alphabet stickers (left over from my scrapbooking days) for my name:

Magical Jungle - Title page

Here's my first colouring from Johanna Basford's new "Magical Jungle" book which I think may be my new favorite of her's.

  

I love the fact there's not so much "fiddly" colouring and details as there are in Lost Ocean - a lot better for my eyes!!

I used Caran D'Ache Luminance pencils, Caran D'Ache Pablo pencils and Prismacolor pencils. I also used a Conte a Paris pastel pencil.

Millie Marotta - Wild Savannah antelope

Wimbledon is over which means that I may get more colouring (and housework) done now!!  When I was working years ago I used to take 2 weeks annual holiday over the Wimbledon fortnight so I could sit at home and watch it all - of course that was pre-children!! 

Here are the antelope from Millie Marotta's Wild Savannah book - all done with Caan D'Ache Pablo pencils:

Plant Happiness

Here's a quick one from the fab Chalk Style Good Times colouring book by Deb Strain.

I used gel pens and Caran D'Ache Pablo pencils:

I finally coloured!!!........ Fairies in Wonderland

I don't know if anyone still visits but I have a colouring to share.....finally!!

This is from the Fairies in Wonderland book by Marcos Chin which is a gorgeous book:

I used Caran D'Ache Pablo pencils, Caran D'Ache Luminance pencils and a Spectrum Noir glitter overlay pen for the fairy's wings.

Joyous Blooms- Pear tree

I completed this one quite quickly using metallic and glitter gel pens, Faber Castell Pitt pens, Caran D'Ache Pablo pencils
