wherein Liz has fun with coloring books
I ran out of sewing projects (or more accurately, I ran out of patience for sewing projects), so I have started using coloring books as the focus aid that lets me actually listen to podcasts instead of losing concentration about two minutes in.
I'm currently working through a set of geometric stained glass patterns, from a book by an A. G. Smith. I've finished seven and have seven still to go, which is at least three hours of listening time. Then I have a proper paper coloring book -- also geometric patterns -- which I think will be a colored pencil task rather than a marker task.
Anyway, I am going to share the colored pictures with the internet so I don't feel quite so much like I've been wasting my time with them. *wry*

As you can see, I got a little better about even color application over time. (Also, I uploaded these to imgur rather than to tumblr, which means that the links should remain stable instead of breaking the next time tumblr staff decide to 'upgrade' their site.)

This is particularly weird because when I copied that exact code, the image displayed just fine here in my comment preview. I've chopped it down a little now (width 245 and height 200) because it was coming out HUGE, but it's still showing up just fine.
I remember you've had trouble getting people's journals to display correctly in the past. Do you perhaps have some kind of browser add-on that interferes with your access to Dreamwidth? Or maybe there's a glitch in your DW theme? Because so far as I can tell, you're doing everything right and producing bafflingly wrong results. Maybe you should enter a support ticket! Either there is a bug that can and should be fixed, or the support staff will be able to troubleshoot for you a lot more effectively and knowledgeably than I can.

I'll try the whole thing again after NFE, and yes, ask for actual DW staff support. In the meantime, can I put in a link to here? along the lines of "If you want to see what the kedgeree looked like..."
Thank you again - I really appreciate your taking the time.
