Coloring

North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

I have just discovered coloring online. I think this is going to be my newest favorite time waster. It is like paint by number, without all the messy paints. This picture (If it loads) is my first coloring project. It probably took me 10 minutes, and really relaxed me. I put the app on my phone and I thought I would have a hard time seeing it, but you can zoom in! Yay! I can color again. I do kind of miss that crayon smell though, lol.

Very nice! I have coloring books but I also have an app on my tablet for when I want to color that way. Some of those apps allow you to upload your own image to color. I use colored pencils, gel pens and markers.

I have several books, gel pens and colored pencils too, but it is getting hard for me to see up close, lol.

@cindiowens You might look up a coloring book artist by the name of Anne Manera. She does a lot of simple designs and shapes. I don't like doing books with too much detail required or small spaces to color in.

Looks cool! Is it addictive?

@cindiowens Can you do it on your desktop? That's where I do all of my computing.

Yes it is. It runs my phone battery down fast too.

@cindiowens I know it's time for me to get my eyes checked. I only need the time and money to make that happen. I hope you can get your eyes checked soon.

@just4him Yes, I need to. My glasses are not working as well as they used to.

I do too @Just4Him but I can't see very good. I guess its time for some bifocals.

That is very pretty. I am not a big fan of coloring apps, but that might be because I draw and color all the time for my own work haha

That would probably be why. Once we attach the word "work" to something all the fun goes out the window.

I do jigsaw puzzle online for the same reason. It relaxes me without occupying a flat surface. AND I never lose pieces

I love it and would find that relaxing, too. Care to share the app? I could use it on the plane Thursday!

Well, I am glad that you can have this opportunity to be able to color in a virtual way, it is very good to color in any way, although in the virtual you deprive yourself of the smell of crayons or paints and of staining your fingers
