8-26-13 ~ I Love Art
I really like to color (actually, my interest in coloring comes and goes, however, I DO really like coloring :D ) but the coloring books we have aren't really what I like. So I've been 'collecting' coloring pages that I like from the internet. And I've found quite a few. A couple days ago, my mom and I printed out a few pages of coloring pages, but we scaled them down, and printed them wallet size (this way, the printer lets us print 9 coloring pages on only 1 paper -plus, it's a great size for the dolls or for trading cards for people). I cut them out, and assembled them. The paper puncher we have is a bit big, but worked (can't find the stapler refills. . .). For the other two books, I used thumbtacks as nails to punch through the paper, and then I used embroidery floss and a needle to sew the paged together. Both turned out cute (only one with embroidery floss is pictured).

The pencils I made by using scissors to cut one end off of a round toothpick, and then I colored it to look like a pencil. I think they're a bit on the skinny side, but they will work for now. Maybe some smallish dowels would work better... hmm....
Anyway... One of the pictures shows two of the pencils I made, and it also shows a 'pre-' pencil, as in, I cut an end off but haven't colored it yet.
