    When my former wife was a child someone gave her a coloring book she wouldn’t fill in the pictures as she felt they had been already done by someone else but she did draw frames around the pages. Even quite young she was already an artist. Fifty years later she’s still at it.

    I have no artistic bent but used to have a facile hand at fine detail work like model painting and coloring. If I could find the right MCM crayons…

      I probably wouldn’t color them in. Imagination could fill in the colors and change them at will; not so with crayons….choose one and you’re done. I’d love it if there was on online version, so I could play around with the colors to my hearts content.

    While a creative person, I am no artist, but I would love the chance to put my own MCM visions on paper and coloring would be such a fun way to do that!

    I might CONSIDER coloring in them with my soon to be born grandchild…but most likely I would frame them and put them on the wall of my 1959 Florida ranch home! 🙂

    The coloring books are a great way to try out different color and patterns with just some coloring pencils and and your imagination.

    We **LOVE** Jenn Ski’s designs and have purchased one of her prints for our home. We would love to have more of her imagery. (I sure wish we could find some of her fabrics!!!)

    I would definitely color in these myself; I think I am too selfish to share them with my Grandchildren. This was MY time period of growing up and the time period that I try, as much as possible, to recreate and live in here in my own home today. I don’t think highly of the hustle and bustle of life in 2014; give me the peace and serenity and simplicity of the Mid-20th Century.
