New! Printable Coloring Pages

I love to color!  When 'Adult Coloring' became a socially acceptable, it made me feel so happy.  Not only do other adults enjoy using crayons, colored pencils, and markers (yay, not alone!) but the de-stressing and creative benefits of coloring are embraced by folks from all walks of life which is cool.

I love coloring so much - so of course I couldn't resist transforming some of my original art into coloring pages, which led me to design some original paper crafts like envelopes and paper dolls. 



Now that I have a small collection, I decided to make them available as printable downloads through my Etsy shop.
Each design is affordable, and you can print as many copies as you'd like.   A PDF file is available immediately for download after purchase. 


I recommend printing on white card-stock for the best results, especially with the paper crafts to make them sturdy :)

🖤 RAPUNZEL 🖤

The MIDNIGHT RIVER edition of RAPUNZEL ... is here! Illustrated edition of RapunzelI'm so excited to have published another illustrated book! First Page with Floral MotifI chose to illustrate the classic fairy tale of Rapunzel because I love the story, especially the magical and often-forgotten end.I used an English translation from the original German which dates from 1884.  This translation is widely used and retains the style of the authors, The Brothers Grimm.  It is also in the public domain so I could use it freely to create my illustrated edition of Rapunzel.


Floral Motifs
There are illustrations on almost every page ...I hand drew each illustration in ink.  There are also decorative printer's ornaments that I drew throughout the text.

These drawings were scanned into my computer.  I then used Open Office to create the interior of my book.

I worked hard to make each page special!





The Enchanted Garden

Some pages have large, detailed illustrations ...I especially loved drawing the Enchantress' Garden, full of rampion which proves irresistible to Rapunzel's pregnant mother.
These large illustrations are also available as printable coloring pages, color prints, and nice vinyl stickers in my Etsy shop.  




The Prince is Pierced by Thorns
... while others have spot illustration.Since the story is nice and short, I stretched it out with lots of magical ink illustrations so you can savor the experience.  
My edition is 31 pages long and is in large print.  
I tried to make it perfect for both beginner readers and those that enjoy cool folksy art, fairy tales, or both.





From cover to cover, my Midnight River edition of Rapunzel was created with hopes of enchanting the reader and celebrating the magic of a timeless fairy tale.I hope I succeeded!  Thanks for stopping by!🖤You can find Rapunzel on Amazon or in my Etsy shop🖤
