And the winner according to random.org is comment number 34!  So it looks like the puzzle will be going to France.  Congratulations!  This was so much fun and such a success, I’ll definitely do another one before the winter holidays.  Thanks for playing everybody!

I also decided I better make a couple of new coloring sheets so everyone can get a little something.  So here they are.  Animal coloring sheet (with elephant! – ha) and flowers coloring sheet.  My daughter tried the flower sheet out last night with her watercolors and made a beautiful painting.  So click on the images below and print if you want to try them!  Just for fun I added pictures of my artwork that inspired the coloring sheets.  A drypoint print and a watercolor.

  5. I love all of your art ideas and especially love your coloring sheets. I am starting my first year teaching third grade in Tanzania. Our school mascot is the twiga (giraffe in kiswahili) and had a feeling if I went to your blog, I would be able to find something. I appreciate you sharing resources with all of your blog fans and readers. Cheers!

    I just started trying embroidery with a gorgeous set of hand dyed yarn, and your pictures look like they will make great patterns! I’ll send you a link when (if) I have a finished product to show off.

    Thanks,
    Sarah
