Thanks for the feedback! Lately it seems like the most crafty thing I want to do is color. The autumn leaves have really inspired me. I was thinking that we could have a coloring exchange with two parts. First, find something you want to color, whether it's something you find in a book or something you draw yourself. Next, before coloring it, make a copy/copies of it - so you can send a blank one along with your colored picture to each person. The goal is to exchange not only pictures we have colored with each other, but also to send uncolored versions so that we can all have new things to color in our own way.

A couple of guidelines:
1. Color a picture of anything you want. If you want to make something out of your colored picture, that is fine too, but the primary object is to color the paper.

2. Any medium is fine - color pencils, crayons, markers, but if you use some of of the messier tools, like pastels, then please spray with a fixative before sending. If you want to use some other method of decoration, like stamping, that is fine too, but it must also involve some coloring.

3. I'm willing to go up to anything 8-1/2 x 11, but please keep it flat, unless you don't mind folding it.

4. This is a guideline that some may object to, and I'm willing to discuss it. However, I'd like to say that, for this project, photocopying is okay. I often color large pictures with a lot of detail - it can take me a couple of weeks to color one picture. I'd prefer to color something large and detailed and make copies of it to send to every participant. The alternative would be coloring several small, not-as-detailed pieces, which doesn't excite me as much.

Does this sound like a project that any of you would be interested in?

Yes. :artist:

nycfem 10-24-2016 01:31 PM

Count me in too. I'm also fine with the idea of photocopying if the individual desires or coloring each picture individually (I.e. it's nice to be able to make that personal choice myself). I would also like the ability to give a different blank coloring page to the person who is receiving my project than the one that I myself colored (I.E. A different design). That way I can think of what each person might specifically enjoy. It sounds like a great project! I absolutely love to color and I have tons of coloring books. I am looking forward to this project.

I'm going to say it will be okay to send a similar picture instead of a copy of the exact one you are coloring. I suppose if someone wanted to, they could take actual pages out of a coloring book and send those. The idea was mainly for us all to get a bunch of new pages to color, in addition to seeing everyone else's beautiful artwork.

This exchange has two parts. We'll exchange colored pages, and also blank coloring pages. The goal is to share not only pictures we have colored with each other, but also to send uncolored versions so that we can all have new things to color in our own way.

1. Find something you want to color, whether it's something you find in a book or something you draw yourself or something you print off the internet.

2. Before coloring it, make copies of it - so you can send a blank one along with your colored picture to each person. (Alternative: Send similar uncolored pictures instead of a copy of the one you are coloring. Send the removed pages from a coloring book if you want to.)

3. Color the picture. Either color one picture and make enough copies of the finished work for everybody to have one, or color a different, original picture for every person. It's up to you.

A couple of guidelines:
  • Color a picture of anything you want. If you want to make something out of your colored picture, that is fine too, but the primary object is to color the paper.
  • Any medium is fine - color pencils, crayons, markers, but if you use some of of the messier tools, like pastels, then please spray with a fixative before sending. If you want to use some other method of decoration, like stamping, that is fine too, but it must also involve some coloring.

  • Photocopying is okay.
Sign up ends Sunday, 10/30. Projects are due to me on or before Monday, 11/28. They are officially late and the late rule applies on Tuesday, 12/6.

"For 2016, the rule is if one of our projects is received by the wrangler more than seven days after the due date, or one of us drops out of a project for whatever reason, that person is welcome to continue posting but is not allowed to sign up for a group project again until January 1st, 2017. No exceptions. This rule applies to participants and to wranglers. This rule must be posted at the bottom of all new projects that are being wrangled so that members can thoughtfully consider whether we wish to commit to a new project. And for the purposes of clarification, if someone drops out before the deadline to sign up has been closed then they are not excluded from future projects because they are still following the rules."

No, I don't think I'll set a limit, especially since people can photocopy, and since there's no size minimum, either. Let's everybody color!

I can't wait to see what everyone does! Coloring isn't my forte but I know some of you are super great at it, so I'm stoked.

One thing I'd like to work out sometime before the end of the year is an adaptation to our tardiness rule for 2017. For those that miss a deadline in the beginning of the year versus those that miss a deadline at the end, it's not an equal consequence for the same action.

What if we did a 6 month time out, starting the month they are late? Of course, this would REQUIRE the wranglers to be honest about who was late and to make sure that information got to the whomever is keeping track. It would be nice if we could go a whole year without anyone on 'the list' but life is tricky that way, as we've learned through the years. So, what do you think?
