I LOVE to color, and always felt that I was the only grown up who would rather sit and color than go out to a movie. I had visions of the grown up me, squeezed into one of those tiny classroom desks surrounded by first graders. I was so excited the first time I saw a whole catagory labeled "adult coloring pages" on Pinterest, especially after I made sure this didn't have the same meaning as "adult videos etc". These coloring pages are especially nice because they are mostly just outline drawings, so I can add all my own shading, cross hatched lines, and little black dots. Speaking of shading...I went a little wild here. I had to stop myself before I colored a hole in the paper. Since the image is so busy, I just mounted it without any extras. This is for the MMTPT335 to make a card for a fellow teapotter with a friendship theme, and gor the MIX100 to use shades, tints and hues. Have a fantastic New Years. TFL, Francie
