Welcome to FJ Colorists Unite

Welcome to the new Free Jinger blog by members for members.   We have a pretty enthusiastic group of colorists here on FJ and after seeing the interest in coloring and talking to a few members, I decided to start this blog for members to post on rather than putting their own coloring projects in comments on my (mostly) coloring blog or various threads where they may get lost.

This blog is for anyone that colors to post their finished pages, works-in-progress, tips, ask for help or really anything color related.

If you'd like permission to post on this blog, post a comment or shoot me a PM and I'll get you set up.

My latest completion... The lighting was messed up; both sides are actually the same colors. This is from Joanna Basford, 'Lost Ocean.' It was released this week.

I added you to the new group.  I would suggest you repost this actually on the new blog.   Click on blogs and pick make entry and it will bring up the box for you to post in :)

If you have questions/problems we have an FAQ devoted to blogs and I'm happy to answer questions.

I should not post when I'm not fully awake.  I thought I was on a different blog since I made similar posts in like 3 places.

What I really meant was you should make your picture it's own post on this blog, rather than having it buried in the comments.

do yyou mind sharing what you used to color this? I don't mean brand, unless you want to share that, just the type of coloring instrument (pencils, crayons, markers, etc.).

@CallmeChaCha not at all! I used Fiskar's gel pens. I have the 48 pack. I believe they're best sellers on Amazon.

I was trying to upload my latest coloring effort, but when I hit the "Add Blog Entry" or whatever it says, the window  comes up with the previous picture of my King Cat page already attached to it. Why is that happening?  I don't want to upload that one again. Shouldn't the window be blank when I'm trying to put a new photo up so I can attach it by itself?

I didn't know where to post these, so I'll add them here. Thanks to @Fascinated for noting the coloring app she uses. Although I didn't find that particular one, I found a few others. Okay, that's not true, I found a LOT of them but only downloaded two: "Colorfy" and "Coloring - Mandala HD" and I did one picture in each app.

For the Mandala, I only used 4 colors, and for each set of 4 I went darker, starting from the center.

All of these are very pretty. Here are a couple more I did recently.  I used softer colours in the Alahambra. I might have mistakes in these but I like them.

@Fascinated @CallmeChaCha

You both should be able to post to the blog now.

Thanks!! I didnt think I'd be doing so many of these. I really like it! Maybe one day I'll do some for-real coloring with pencils and such. :D

I would love to join the blog! Seeing all of everyone's pictures makes me realize how slow I am! My pictures will be more infrequent than many. I love seeing everyone else's, and getting tons of new product suggestions!

All these pictures are great, but my question is am I going to get hooked on this as the other day at the checkout line at the grocery, lo and behold they had an adult coloring book in the rack....I have a very addictive personality...

Yes, yes you are, but it's a good kind of addiction :)   It's very relaxing!

and you say the bold like it's a bad thing ;)

I need some advice for medium tip markers to go with my Staedtler. I have gel pens but can't control the flow of ink.

      Really worrrisome that Shalom has not posted any updates.  Maybe she's just overwhelmed with their housing situation; I truly, sincerely hope there hasn't been a health crisis. 

      So she did post in her stories today. They are having a sale at Justin’s shop. I assume they need money. But she didn’t word it that way. Justin didn’t look too bad. She did mention a “doctor.” She said it in passing that Justin was at the doctor earlier. Who knows what kind of Dr. They call woo pushers “doctors” so it could be a real MD or just some quack. You never know with them.

      None of her dresses she tried on fit the modesty standards the others had to abide by in the past. I’m not surprised she found it so easily. Once you are 34, I think you know what you want. And Jana went in knowing exactly what she wanted. Jana isn’t the type to make some huge ridiculous party and show out of wedding dress shopping. They did so much stuff for the show that I assumed Jana would never do if they didn’t have a camera shoved in their face and JB dictating things.

      There’s no mention of whatever event led to her having a gown altered the day before her wedding.

      The video shows them adding the pieces to make the top part look more like the inspiration photo. Dress was from David's Bridal, a wedding dress chain for those outside the US.

      I was kind of surprised that Michelle wasn’t there. Not that I wanted to see her but she’s local and that is her daughter. 

      Also pleasantly surprised by the non-mention of modesty, meaning the Duggar’s standards, not mainstream society.  The first one had a tank top bodice with some see-through lace at the waist part so I thought that one may get a comment. I was also a little surpised at the one halter top one.  It was very fitted. But she did look great in every one. Glad she found one she wanted. Good for her for marching to her own best, even if it’s tiny steps.

      Grrr.... I waited all week for a new video from Jana and it was a stupid venue/dress video and not a fixer-upper video.  How disappointing!

      I found it interesting the JB and Michelle were not along to look at the venue, or that Michelle didn't go dress shopping.  This, combined with the tiny house, pants-wearing, college, etc. make me think Jana has possibly distanced herself from her parents quite a bit more than we may have expected and was really living life somewhat independently.

      Anyway, Jana teases they will be back soon with more house updates.  She better deliver and not give us a video of wedding cake taste testing next. ;)
