Gracie would also like to start coloring, have been looking at the books but have not bought any yet. I think a group would be fun, can not do Wednesdays but hopefully another day would work, maybe we will find one.

Zentangle is nice......but
 

I would like to have coloring books, even the old fashioned kids ones and the new fangled ones and one group is full with a waiting list at Captiva and one meets every other Wednesday at Odell. If someone is trying to get another one going, you really don't have to ask for the art room in the large rec centers, any room with tables would do because coloring isn't messy and wouldn't hurt the tables.


Just getting together and doing something together, even without teaching is fun, because after awhile the chatting builds new friendships.


A treasured poster brought a wonderful coloring book to our daughter from her recent trip to France. There are all kinds of wonderful coloring books and all kinds of folks who enjoy coloring.

My table mates at the captiva coloring group told me about 2 groups forming north of 466 one was at Paradise and one at Chula Vista. I didn't pay too much attention as to the particulars but the rec centers would know the details. I'm thoroughly enjoying the new friendships forming in our group. Lots of time for visiting.

The fad mystifies me, possibly because I am terrible at coloring.
My brother, in second grade, returned a coloring book page to the teacher with a large X he had marked on it. He said, "Can you give something I can learn?"

Have you ever considered making your own coloring book? This looks interesting.
How to Make a Coloring Book

I'm not one for coloring but I was thinking of fun things for a 9 year old in another thread and picked the Butterfly Rainforest
4.5
(24) · Tourist Attraction
Interactive butterfly & bird exhibit
3215 Hull Rd · (352) 846-2000
Open until 5:00 PM.

I recommended buying the kid a kid's camera. Now I think the kid could take pictures of butterflies and the software will turn it into a coloring book. So anyone can color it. Nothing is too expensive and it makes great memories that are personal.

There is room for creativity in anything we do, even coloring in coloring books and there is room for another thing which is enjoyed by many; coloring within the lines and following directions and in the end having a pretty picture. I don't think I could quilt. I have to have quicker gratification, I don't think I could needlepoint for the same reason. It isn't lack of character, rather a certain way my brain works.


We are all different and that can be good.
