Hello Everyone, I hope all is well with you and you're looking forward to the weekend, I can hardly believe that it's Friday already. The days are swishing by.
I'm back with another coloured page, this time from a Hanna Karlzon book, Midnight Masquerade,
Well, sorry to say that my lady's dress colour hasn't photographed well, the underskirt is a pale sky blue, anyhoo, I've coloured with Prismacolours and added soft pastels to the background. Added white dots with a Posca pen.
My Friend Fiona and I met up earlier on in the week, and enjoyed Costa coffee and lemon muffins, very naughty. It was lovely to see her, and believe it or not we laughed about so many things, in amongst the sadness of her illness. It never ceases to amaze me just how brave people with diagnoses of the Big C are, an inner strength must be found from somewhere. She is very positive, which goes a long way in helping psychologically and emotionally, so I believe. The next step is more surgery in a couple of weeks. And...she has taken up colouring!! thinking ahead to when she has to go for treatment, she can take a bag with pencils and a book. Thanks to you all for your well wishes for her.
And, thanks too for all your lovely comments on my last post, very much appreciated.
Righty oh, that's me for now, better get on and see what we are eating tonight, I think it's going to be a pot luck meal lol.
Take care everyone and see you soon,
What a striking image and beautifully coloured with the pencils Kate x. Yes were does time go? So glad you managed to meet up with Fiona and a coffee and muffin sounds good to me x.

ReplyDeleteHi Kate,
ReplyDeleteyour colouring always amazes me as it always looks so wonderful and beautifully coloured.
What a charming name for a book of colouring.
So glad your outing went well eith Fiona and yes you are so right about there inner strength when my sister only had months to live she was still so strong, posative, and happy.
It's just us looking on that feel like the weak ones.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Your coloring is so beautifully done. Your friend sounds like a wondersul person. I hope her postive additude is healing for her...and coloring with pensils. My hobbies sure are "healing' for me. When I was taking my Mom for her chemo treatments my crochet always went along with me... It helped me too...and my Mom enjoyed seeing the work that I was working on.
ReplyDeleteWonderful colouring Kate.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous image, she looks like she is on her way to the masked ball. Love how you coloured her. How lovely to have a meeting with fun for your friend, I'm sure it made a difference to her for those few hours. Great that she is taking up your hobby too, it will be great therapy for her.

Your colouring is phenomenal Kate and the colours are glorious for this beautiful lady in her ball gown. I love her wonderful piled up hairdo and the way you have coloured it is fabulous. I love the added white Posca pen dots and the blue pastel background too which tones in perfectly. Glad you managed to meet up with your friend and great that she is managing to stay positive. x
ReplyDeleteYour coloured pages are beautiful Kate. Love the way you coloured the lady's dress. Stunning. Hugs Anet
ReplyDeleteOh my, your lady is beautiful. I love the blues and pretty coloring. And the hares are such fun. I am sure your meet up with your friend was a wonderful diversion from thinking of her illness right now. And sharing with you probably meant a lot to her also. I get together with four other gls twie a month and it does wonders for all of us.
