Hey there! It’s December 1st and time for your Escapist Coloring Club prompt. If you’d like to join the club, all you have to do is post pictures of your own colouring, your kids’ colouring, or that of anyone you know and have permission to share. This is a month-long prompt, which means you have all of December to link back here.

I was too busy to post mid-month reminder–that’s my story and I’m sticking to it–so I’ll link to the posts of the participants from last month below. I think we had a record number of participants! Must be the weather. 🙂 Be sure to check them all out!

Now, on with the prompt!

Here’s the before picture of my November calendar page:

And here are bits of the after. (Click for a closer look.)

Because I knew with NaNoWriMo I wasn’t going to have a lot of time to colour, I decided to use all markers, except for the fairies’ skin. Markers are indeed much faster to colour with! Much brighter, too.

Here’s the whole thing.

I look forward to seeing all of your wonderful projects throughout the coming month!

Please find the “rules” below.

1. This prompt is designed for relaxation. As such, I encourage you to take your time to link your own post here, BUT, when you comment, please click the “Notify me of new comments via email” button. That way you’ll receive a notification when someone else links their project and you won’t miss anything. As with all the prompts, the more you visit others, the more your community of like-minded people grows.

2. Ping back! It’s important so that I and other people can come and read your post. To execute a pingback, just copy and paste the URL found in your address bar at the top of this post into the body of your post. Your link will show up in my comments for everyone to see. The most recent pingbacks will be found at the top. NOTE: Pingbacks only work from WordPress sites. If you’re self-hosted or are participating from another host, such as Blogger, please leave a link to your post in the comments below.

3. There will be a prompt on the first of every month. I will try to post the prompt here on my blog at 9:30am -5 GMT. The prompt will simply be photos of my own colouring project. If you would like to host this prompt on your blog on another week during the month, either once, occasionally, or on a regular basis, please e-mail me at hilllindagmaru at gmail dot com and we’ll get you set up. All I ask is that you have an active blog and that you regularly reply to comments and visit other blogs.

4. Feel free to use The Escapist Coloring Club badge in your post.

5. Have fun!

It’s the first day of the month and time for your Escapist Coloring Club prompt. If you’d like to join the club, all you have to do is post pictures of your own colouring, your kids’ colouring, or that of anyone you know and have permission to share. This is a month-long prompt, which means you have all of November to link back here.

The mid-month reminder managed to get forgotten again, so I’ll link to the posts of the participants from last month, below. Be sure to check them out!

Thanks so much, Anita and Margret!

On with the prompt!

Here’s my calendar page from November. The before:

And here are bits of the after. (Click for a closer look.)

I used mostly coloured pencils for this one. I’m quite pleased with how it turned out.

I look forward to seeing all of your wonderful projects throughout the coming month!

I made it! Your Escapist Coloring Club prompt is here! If you’d like to join the club, all you have to do is post pictures of your own colouring, your kids’ colouring, or that of anyone you know and have permission to share. This is a month-long prompt, which means you have all of October to link back here.

I missed the mid-month reminder, yet again. So here are the participants from last month with links to their posts. Be sure to check them out!

Thank you all so much!

On with the prompt!

Here’s what I have for October. The before:

And here are bits of the after. (Click for a closer look.) I took pictures of this one before I coloured in the background and after, because I wasn’t convinced I was going to like it. See what the camera did to the colours when I changed the background?

I used coloured pencils exclusively, except for the black, which is marker. Which to you like better? I’m still not sure. Though I am quite pleased with how the black turned out.

I look forward to seeing all of your wonderful projects throughout the coming month!

Hi there! A day late and quite possibly a dollar short, but your Escapist Coloring Club prompt is finally here. If you’d like to join the club, all you have to do is post pictures of your own colouring, your kids’ colouring, or that of anyone you know and have permission to share. This is a month-long prompt, which means you have all of September to link back here.

I missed the August mid-month reminder. So here are all the participants from last month with links to their posts. Be sure to check them out!

Thank you all so much!

Now, on with the prompt.

Here’s the before.

And here are bits of the after. (Click for a closer look.) Apart from the mouse and the girl, I did this entirely in marker.

And here’s the entire thing. I came so close to getting it finished–I was even going to colour the background with a sunset–but the last half of the month with Alex home from camp made it impossible to work on it.

I look forward to seeing all of your wonderful projects throughout the coming month!

Can you believe summer’s half over already? Like, seriously, where has the time gone? Anyway, it’s the first of August, and that means it’s time for The Escapist Coloring Club prompt. If you’d like to join the club, all you have to do is post pictures of your own colouring, your kids’ colouring, or that of anyone you know and have permission to share. This is a month-long prompt, which means you have all of August to link back here.

I not only missed out on getting my calendar page finished, I missed the July mid-month reminder. So here are all the participants from July with links to their posts. Be sure to check them out!

Thank you all so much!

Now, on with the prompt.

Here’s the before.

And here are bits of the after. (Click for a closer look.)

And here’s the entire thing, unfinished because I’ve just been too busy.

I look forward to seeing all of your wonderful projects throughout the coming month!

It’s the first of July! Happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canadians worldwide reading this! And being the first of the month, that means it’s time for The Escapist Coloring Club prompt. If you’d like to join the club, all you have to do is post pictures of your own colouring, your kids’ colouring, or that of anyone you know and have permission to share. This is a month-long prompt, which means you have all of July to link back here.

I changed my mind a couple of times on the colours for this June’s calendar page. If I’ve ever had a project that should have been symmetrical, this one was it. I failed … but I don’t care! It was fun to colour.

Here’s the before.

And here are bits of the after. (Click for a closer look.)

And here’s the entire thing. I think I like the left side better than the right. What do you think?

I look forward to seeing all of your wonderful projects throughout the coming month!

It’s June 1st! Welcome to The Escapist Coloring Club prompt. If you’d like to join the club, all you have to do is post pictures of your own colouring, your kids’ colouring, or that of anyone you know and have permission to share. This is a month-long prompt, which means you have all of June to link back here.

I’m not entirely happy with the result of my May colouring project. I did most of it whilst listening to an audiobook. Not sure if that had anything to do with my apparently crazy choices for colours, but to me it lacks coherency. I like the closeups better than the big picture. But hey, not every project can be a winner. And I still enjoyed the escape I had while I worked on it, so I win!!

Here’s the before.

And here are bits of the after. (Click for a closer look.)

And here’s the entire thing.

Because I didn’t do a mid-month reminder in May, here are all the participants from last month. Please check them out if you haven’t already!
