wherein Liz has fun with coloring books

[edenfalling]

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.)

I think my friend did that more often; I was in the habit of having graph paper at hand, myself. There was also a lot of little flowers and dogs and stuff like that, sometimes even very sophisticated pictures. And we exchanged doodles, or one of us would start something and the other would finish it.
Somehow, I even managed to occasionally write a story under the table one year. Nowadays, I have no idea how I managed that. I could use more of that ability to squeeze in some writing!
