Colouring practice

I finally bit the bullet and bought some copic markers. Just a few to try out - and now I'm hooked! 

It's incredibly restful just sitting quietly and colouring. Concentrating on the small picture in front of you and thinking about colour and how to shade. Reminds me of quilting - time slows down and you get caught up in what you're doing. I've started small (literally) with the new YOF Collection from PTI - the miniature versions of the flower stamps. And I'm quite pleased with my first efforts:

Supplies
