Cute caddy Kathy! Your water coloring is so vibrant, just love it!
Love the basket. LOVE the cards…heck I even love the watercolor towel!! 😀 TFS
I love the water coloring, it is so beautiful and I love the bright colors. You have me inspired. Wish I wasn’t working so I had more time to craft. Well, I guess it will happen soon enough. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas.
Love your watercolored cards!!!
Love your antique basket!
I have done some ‘on the go’ projects too, and find I get frustrated by not packing enough. Seems I always miss something!
Love the antique look of the basket, excited to see more at Poppy stamps and your watercolored are so bright and wonderful,!
Love the basket!!! But your color with any medium is so amazing!!
Such a cute basket! Kathy your coloring is awesome. I don’t own any tombow markers thanks for helping me add more things to my shopping list 🙂
We always enable each other! LOL Thanks for joining the challenge, 🙂
Basket is so cute and fantastic coloring (as usual LOL!!)
I bought the Concord and 9th set that you showed last week and it’s out for delivery. Such fast shipping I’m so excited! Now to get stuff done so I can color all evening! Woohoo!
Oh and my husband asked what I wanted for Christmas, I said markers, help me to decide what kind……
Tombow, fill in colic colors? Is there something that is the perfect marker?
The perfect marker is the one you enjoy the most. My perfect marker is copics. Tombows you can color with alone, use as watercolor, comes with a blender marker and a lot of the copic techniques apply for example: tip to tip or lifting one color off an acrylic block with the other color marker. Budget also enters the picture. Hope this helps. 🙂
thanks for the idea.
I’m going to use it on a crate
that’s stuffed on a shelf unused.
Going to put it into service.
LOVE this crate/tote! Your coloring is lovely as always! TFS!
LOVE those stockings!
If I were trying to get a towel to turn out that pretty, it’d never work, but yours turns out that way without even trying. lol! I haven’t been able to color yet this month, but I always find it quite relaxing to peruse your fabulous creations!
Gorgeous, scrumptious color!!! WOW & very cool basket!
Great coloring!
its so nice crate!
I will go see what did you make with it.
hugs
Love your basket! Does the colour come out of your towel?
Love the basket and the coloring! I’m having so much fun with the challenge btw!!!!!
Fabulous! Thanks for being part of the challeng. 🙂
Great colouring Kathy,the Power Poppy stamps are one of my all time faves!
Thanks for sharing your ‘on the go essentials’, Kathy! Love the idea of using packaging instead of palette. I think plastic soap dish or tiny melamine plate would also work instead of the palette.
I usually take only colored pencils with me, as we mostly travel to the mountains and I don’t think markers can survive on higher altitudes. All my Sakura liners went running when I tried using them above 7000 feet and it was a mess.
Your coloring is very beautiful! Love how you created this volume and at the same time I wonder “How you’ve done it” LOL. I need to practice more with highlights and shading. 🙂
Kathy, your “colouring on the go” post is incredibly timely. My husband’s sister passed away on Wednesday (hearts hurting….) and we’ll be heading west to join the rest of his family for a celebration of her life this coming Friday. Bringing along images and colouring supplies is on my packing list, for those times over the weekend when I’ll need my space to think about her in peace and solitude. Thank you for the what-to-bring ideas! Your crate is lovely; I’ll be using a rubbermaid container! Not exactly fancy *grin*

So sorry to hear about your loss. May coloring soothe your heart and soul if only for a brief moment. I’m glad my on the go post helped. Take care 🙂
Cute caddy Kathy! Your water coloring is so vibrant, just love it!
Awesome way to travel
and color! Love the basket
and goodies in it. Very pretty
coloring.

Love the stylish way you carry your supplies.
What fun to think of you carrying this cute tote with you so you can use your down time to color anytime! Love it!
What a wonderful way to travel! Your coloring + Marcy’s artwork = Perfection! You inspired me to pack art supplies for our recent trip to Arizona, Kathy. What fun it was to sit in a shady spot looking out over the desert and watercolor some cacti for cards! It felt so special! Maybe next time I will be brave enough to take out some supplies on the airplane. ♡
Sounds perfect. I’m so pleased I inspired you to take along art supplies. I always color on the airplane. It makes the time fly by. LOL 🙂
Such a great idea. Love the coloring.
Love your colour choices!

Lovely coloring!! My first time doing the coloring challenge , and I have to say I’m having so much fun coloring and getting so much inspiration from others. Love it !
Welcome Jackie. I apperciate you being part of the challenge and finding time for you. We are an amazing community of kindness and inspiration. Keep having fun. 🙂
I have a plastic bin with a lid that I use when I travel but this is MUCH cuter!!
Awesome basket, Kathy! Love your cards & your blog. You have taught me so much about different types of coloring. Thanks for all the inspiration!
Thank you so much. I love when someone shares they are experimenting etc. Thank you for being part of my challenge. 🙂
Beautiful colouring Kathy, love the both of them. The caddy looks cool, me, I have a storage on wheels I use to use when I painted it comes in so handy and amazing what you can fit in it hen travelling.
Love your vibrant colours!
Your basket and your cards are all fantastic! I look forward to checking out your blog each day so thank you!
I love using baskets to hold stuff in my house. They just make everything look better!!
Oh Kathy…the colors you used on those Christmas stockings is just beyond wonderful. I really love them. Thanks for the gorgeous color combos.
Hi Kathy! (I left this msg on the Power Poppy blog also. I wasn’t sure which had a better chance of you reading it. I put 2 requests in my comment. I hope you will consider them for one day.
Iwant to add that I love how your basket came out! I keep a tote bag with colored pencils, a small coloring book, and several stamped images ready to go anywhere! If it’still more than a doctor’s appt, I pack a box with more. I make the stamped/colored images into cards or use them in a scrapbook page when I have time at home. )
Here is the comment I made on the PP BLOG:
I love these images and how you gave them such bursts of color!
I adore the stocking with Teddy holding on to the little sprig! Such tiny detail!
I love, love, love the flower spray! I can never tell with your beautiful use of shading with the: color blending, the grey colors, and getting into ever nook and cranny with layers of color if you have cut out a piece of the image and popped it up on foam or if it is your mastery of illusions through color that make it seem popped up!
I would love it if maybe one day…even a year from now, you would please do a super quick video on which grey Copics are warm vs. cool, and when/how to use the different techniques for different results. I hope you will please consider putting this on your “Maybe Some Day” list.
I’d also love to see how you would color water in a clear vase with a flower stem or two in it. I’ve seen it done by applying Distress Ink straight to paper, roughly from the pad. I want to see you work your magic in a more refined way! If you have either of these already covered, would you please share a link? Thank you for considering sharing your knowledge on one or both of these areas.
Thank you for yet another chance at a give-away!
He-IS-Able!

BEAUTIFUL and PRACTICAL colouring basket Kathy!!!
I LOVE how organised you are, LOVE your colouring too => THANK YOU for sharing 🙂
PS – I LOVE seeing old items re-purposed and loved, the quality is amazing to the almost disposable products of today
I couldn’t agree more. The charm of old items always pulls me.Thank you for your kind words. 🙂
Your coloring is always so perfectly beautiful.great card!Altenew has so many awesome sets of stamps to choose.
Kathy, your bouquet turned out really great even tho’ you weren’t happy with it. Keep up the good work
Love the basket! 🙂
I love your coloring, no classes needed for you!!
Visiting your blog is ALWAYS a special treat. Your cards are Over-The-Top special. And thanks a bushel for the video, another great learning experience.
Love your flower bouquet card. Ingenious use of the doily stencil.
Beautiful! The colors are so vibrant!
Off I go to the Power Poppy blog. See you there.
Beautiful cards as always Kathy. My son is a rower and I always take a supply of stamped images and my pencils and bits and bobs to colour. Some times I colour a whole image other days only a line or two, just depends on how distracting the river is. I do like the idea of a basket though, might need to look out for something like this. xo
love the watercoloring
I love the tutorial you did on the card using the Adore you set! Not only was your card beautiful, but it inspired me to not be afraid of watercolors! Thank you!
I totally colour on the go and I LOVE it. I keep smaller pre-stamped images in pks. One for colouring with Copics and another packet of pre-stamped images for watercolouring. Label the front so I know which to grab with which medium and I am out the door. I also have my essentials packed and ready to go.
WOW!!!! LOVE this a lot!
Just beautiful, as always Kathy. The basket is lovely and the little stockings are so whimsical.
So great! I should color on the go more! Love your color choices!
I love this, Kathy
Love the crate and your coloring. So sweet. :o)
I need to try watercoloring! WoW
Such a good Idea
What pretty cards! I like the stockings. I’m hoping Santa will bring me a travel sized coloring book.
I like your on the go stuff and that basket is so cool. Kind of like Red Riding Hood and her basket of goodies that she brought to granny.
When I work at pre-school during nap time I always bring something to do. The regular teachers (I am a sub) have paper work to do and now even computer work. I don’t. All I really have to do is make sure none of the kids is having a party on their cot and keeping the others awake and take someone to the bathroom if they have to go. Otherwise I am on my own after I eat lunch. Nap time is from 12:30 -2:30 and it doesn’t take me that long to eat lunch. I usually bring a plastic bag full of cards I want to make and the stuff to make them with. However, I usually forget one or 2 things and I can’t go back home to get them. That part really bugs me. Otherwise, I usually get a lot done and I get a lot of compliments from the other teachers.
Right now my dad is in a nursing home. He fell outside his doctors on a wet, windy day with a lot of leaves blowing around and he fractured his collarbone. His home is up the street from us so we go see him everyday, sometimes 2 times a day. He’s not a big talker and he never really was. Mainly what he does all day is watch TV, go for therapy which is about a half hour to an hour, and get fed 3 times a day through his feeding tube. He is able to eat some soft food by mouth so he does that too. They bathe and shave him too but there really isn’t much to talk about. Sometimes he sleeps in his chair there. We ask him questions and try to talk about his day but most of the time he’s not very talkative, so I bring up my coloring. I’ve been making a lot of Christmas cards so I cut a bunch of them out and take them with me. I have a very big baggie that I put my clip board in, my cut out cards, my 2 boxes of colored pencils, my box of Crayola colored pencils, my 3 boxes of chalk pencils, my 2 boxes of Crayola markers and an 8 box of florescent Crayola crayons. I could bring more but they won’t fit and then it would be to much to carry anyway. Some stuff like my water colors I couldn’t use so I just go with that. I love that I actually get stuff done and then because there isn’t much room to do much more then color I put the cards together at home and do any stamping at home too. Don’t you love how all our stuff is so portable?
