AMERICAN BURYING BEETLES
The minute I saw this book, I was smitten. Although it took me a long time to get this book into my collection I can't imagine not having it anymore ☺️ First up: the American burying beetles. I have thoroughly enjoyed colouring this page 🥰

A WORLD WITHIN A WORLD
And with that: my first Melpomeni page is done! After seeing her stunning work in my new Enchanted Earth I felt really inspired to get working on this stamp and I absolutely love how it turned out. Ive got the Dutch @uitgeverijmus copy and the paper is just wonderful.

FLOWERS
My first page done in my Holbeins! I absolutely LOVE these pencils. I had never used a softer pencil before as I own the Polychromos and the Pablos, so this was a complete shock to the system for me. I love the vibrant results and I was positively surprised at how quick it was to colour this purely in pencil. Safe to say: they are a keeper!

FROGS
These googly-eyed creatures were the first choice for my little (not so little) brother and I decided to bring them to life! I wanted to keep the rest of the page simple, and only used one glitter gel pen and some white Tooli-Art to finish the page of ☺️

SPRING
Never before had I coloured a hare in my colouring books, but my new Berättelser från slottsruinen by @hannakarlzon made me want to colour one for the first time! I love how it turned out, sweet and simple with a very limited colour palette.

A cute page in between my other pages is always such a delight! And who else to turn to than the amazing @rita.berman 🥰 I absolutely love her books and I think the Asia book might just be myself favourite of them all☺️

This adult colouring page in Romantasy is one of my favourite pages I have ever coloured. I loved creating the mystic atmosphere and bloodred sky. I imagined the figure as Morgana, the witch in the Arthurian legends. I am a medieval language specialist by profession and therefore feel a deep connection with these legends, so all in all, this page was a delight to bring to life with my coloured pencils!

This colouring page was a bit of a palette cleanser for me. I used lots of gel pens and sparkle and of course my trusty coloured pencils, now on to a more challenging page again!

FLOWER MARKET
Spring: flowers and new beginnings🌸 I decided to go for this amazing page in Friendly squirrel and residents of the antique town by the gorgeous @studiopalette_mona 🥰 I wanted to go for muted colours, so the flowers and the truck would pop, and I think it worked out wonderful ☺️

This page in Berättelser från slottsruinen definitely was a challenge for me, but I am so happy with my results! The Pablo pencils work so well on this paper, I will definitely use them again. They just blend so smoothly🥰

MEDIEVAL RUINS
And with that I completed my first page in Hanna's new book Tales from the castle ruins😍 I love this book, although I struggled with the paper at first. I started on the flowers with my Polychromos, and I didn't love them in this book. I had to work too hard on getting it to where I wanted it to be. My Holbeins though, they work a treat in here 🥰
