Colouring

Undoubtedly, you will have heard about the growing trend of Adult colouring books.....recently, I was directed to a Facebook post where members of a newly formed colouring club were discussing where one could find some free downloadable coluring pages. (from what I saw they had already purchased a number of books ....perhaps they were just looking for even more variety).

So......I thought.....why not post one here. I often play with doodling in a more abstract form, sometimes some interesting designs appear.

like this one

if you would like to grab it and colour....be my guest....you can get the downloadable, printable file (PDF) here.

Be sure you are printing with "non-running"ink if you want to use anything other than dry media.
Images printed on my ink jet printer will smear if I use a marker....but printers that use toner seem to be fine. If you really want to lay on a lot of colour, try printing on an art paper or cardstock.

I would love some comments on this.....will you download this file and colour?  would you like to see more like this one?  Enjoy   :-)

Thanks Jill. This gives me many ideas beyond a coloring page.

Thanks Jill. I've just printed a copy and may make a few more of them.It would be fun to experiment with different colorways. Perhaps four seasons or warm/cold. It's a beautiful design.

As always, you are so generous with your followers! This is a beautiful design! Yes, I will certainly print out...perhaps on fabric?? THANK YOU!!!

I will absolutely download and color it, Jill -- there was a great article in our Sunday paper's weekly magazine devoted to coloring for adults. This trend is making me feel so validated -- I've been coloring for YEARS. Thanks for the generous use of your design -- I'll send you a copy when it's been colored (gosh, I hope I stay inside the lines . . .).

This is wonderful! While I don't color I can see were it would be really fun. I think you should publish an adult coloring book! I'll bet if you submitted some designs to whoever publishes such things they would snap you up in a second. What about a coloring book that looks like a journal or sketch pad? Hmmmmm. Now I might even buy that

Such a gorgeous design Jill! You are so generous to offer it for free. I hope you will post some of the colored pages from those who play with it.

Beautiful design Jill! This is definitely one that I can see myself using several times, I need to do more colouring!

Your design is gorgeous! Thank you for so generously sharing with us. Yes, I will print out and color this. I love my coloring books - I never outgrew coloring and often color with my son (also an adult) who still loves to color. I love playing with color and find the act of coloring very soothing. My sister still colors too!
