Real Time Colour Along | Stabilo| Inky Wonderlands 2021 Calendar by Johanna Basford

[@GladysWard-j2d]

New subbie here. Glad I found your channel. Coloring helps get my mind off obsessing over things of which I have no control. Your calendar is looking so lovely!

Lovely to see you back - hope you are keeping well and safe! I followed along with your previous colour along - and very much enjoying this one! Thank you and bless you!

Glad you and Joe are settling in and enjoying your new home! Haven't coloured this in the book yet, now I know what I'm doing with it (thank you) need to get out my stabilos, been awhile. I like using neon pinks in flowers, especially the prisma pencil, blends in beautifully with magenta etc 😉 Lucy, you can talk about anything you like, I just enjoy the zen vibe of your vidsl ♥🌹

[@ColouringInTheMidstOfMadness]

Ah you're so lovely! Thank you! I'll try and do more videos soon, for someone who's incredibly talkative, I can't believe how blank I go when I hit record, all thoughts seem to leave my head! Enjoy using your stabilos, they're my favourite pens, I just love the colours! Oh great tip about the Prismas, I've never used the neon colours, I find them too glowy but in combination with other colours I'm sure I'd like them! Thank you! :)

So nice to see you back. The picture looks lovely. I hadn't been coloring either. In fact, I colored my first picture since April just a few days ago. Everything going on in the world turned my anxiety up full blast. Only recently have I started to feel a bit better, but I'm still afraid to go anywhere. Am glad you are well and safe. Take care! ❤

[@ColouringInTheMidstOfMadness]

Ah thank you so much! It's been a lot to deal with recently hasn't it?! I'm glad you were able to colour again and I hope you find it helpful. You take care too. ❤️

[@ColouringInTheMidstOfMadness]

Hello! Haven't seen your new videos quite a while.

[@ColouringInTheMidstOfMadness]

Hi! No, I've not been filming or blogging recently, lots going on in my personal life. I'm hoping to film more soon!

[@gailducrest8851]

Lucy, would you repeat your video showing how to cheat at blending colors. The one you have on there now, that bird, you did most of it off camera. And the part you did for us to see was done in such tiny spaces I didn’t get a good idea. Or, I only got an idea. WELCOME HOME.

[@ColouringInTheMidstOfMadness]

You're so lovely! That's a great idea. I'll add it to my ideas list and try and get that filmed soon. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@gailducrest8851]

If you have trouble thinking of something to talk about, talk about yourself and your life? What makes you think we’re not interested? We like you. You could also talk about coloring.l About things you’ve seen that you like; about ....well, we’re not going to talk about things we don’t like. About things you would like to see in coloring. I also prefer the Stabillos. I had three other kinds; gave one away. Early on in my coloring career I saw that people lauded Stabillos but at the time I had these others and put off getting them. Sinnce I got them, I don’t bother with the others.

[@ColouringInTheMidstOfMadness]

I'll definitely give that a go. I think because I've got so much going in my life that I'm not able to talk about and that's the most major stuff that's happening, my mind just goes a bit blank and everything else seems really insignificant or boring in comparison. I'm a very open person and so it really goes against my norms to not be talking about things but it's not my news and other people have an absolute right to privacy which is why I'm not talking about these things but it means I struggle a bit because I don't want to accidentally say things I shouldn't and as I say, currently the majority of my time and thoughts etc are taken up with thinking and dealing with these difficulties. It'll improve over time though and I'm sure I'll be back to spouting my usual rubbish and randomness! I'm never quiet for long! It's very nice to find a fellow Stabilo fan. Lots of people don't seem to like them but they're my absolute favourites and they suit how I hold pens too. It's funny how our tastes change over time, I'm glad you like them so much!

[@gailducrest8851]

Lucy, I have read several other comments. Everyone who commented said how glad they were to see you back again. Everyone. I bet that all the while you were away you did not realize there were people all over the place missing you. AND.....yes, coloring and making videos about coloring must move your awareness away from present problems and into the very present of what you are coloring, editing, etc. Hooray for you.
