Default ANOTHER...Coloring book group?

There is one coloring book group who meets at Captiva, but it is full with a waiting list according to the rec news.


I bet Santa is going to bring a lot of grown up's coloring books this year.


Any interest in trying to start another coloring book club?


Just for fun and doing together as a group.

I would ! Love to color because there is no pressure except staying within the lines. Otherwise, the sky is the limit

I think there is at least one or two other of these clubs. I believe one might meet at Odell. You can call the rec department for more information I'd imagine, rather than starting yet another club.

You are correct about the one meeting at Captiva being closed. It has a waiting list.

THANK YOU !!! You are right! Odell has one at three on Wednesday Afternoon. No time between dentist and doctor tomorrow. DANG. Maybe next week.

When my wife got me a coloring book I thought the poor girl's cheese slipped off the cracker. I can wear a pink shirt and nobody would question my masculinity but coloring, come on. Well she is a sport and watches my dopey television shows and sporting events so I decided to give it a try for the wife. It automatically takes your mind off all the things that people normally worry about. Amazing. Also while looking at homes for sale in TV I have noticed many fine paintings and coloring book work by Villagers. Men...give this a try, your gonna love it. Painting is next for me. Like that guy Bob on a painting show 20 years ago who passed away. Can't remember his last name but he had a voice that would relax you to sleep. Wish we were there to join.

Default How do you find out about Coloring Groups?

Hi,

I looked in the recreation news and the activity search on this site and I can't find any coloring groups. How do I find them?

Thank you for any enlightenment you can provide.

I love coloring. Am in all of them!! One meets at Odell 3pm the first and third Wed. The other at captiva is closed. My group meets the fourth Tues at colony at 1pm. You can come and tangle or color. Will be called coloring Zen therapy and will be in rec news Thurs Dec 17. Two more groups trying to start up are advertising in this week's rec news. Hope this helps! Hopefully there will be one everyday of week so everyone can fit in their schedules

Default Pencils or crayons?

I've noticed the really creative coloring books out at stores lately. You who are already into this, what kind of medium do you use? Crayola crayons? Colored pencils? What brands do you prefer? Think I will try this.

Post #5 called it zentangle, which I've heard of. Did you try looking under that name?
