Review: Creative Platypus Coloring Crafts for Adults and Kids

noreply@blogger.com (Lee Hansen Hoch) — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 20:20:00 +0000

The creative folks over at Creative Platypus, LTD in Eugene Oregon recently sent me a sample packet of their popular adult coloring products to play with and review. The samples I received are spread all over the studio right now, and it's hard to decide which one to try out first. They include two types of adult coloring crafts: quality line art drawings and black velvet coloring crafts.

The collection of artistic coloring posters features beautifully detailed drawings by different artists, each printed on heavy white stock. The coloring posters in my sample set range in size from 10" x 14" mini-posters printed with detailed outline drawings of endangered species, wildlife, fairies and pets to a challenging, highly detailed 22" x 32.5" surrealistic cats art poster.

My favorite in this set is the cats art poster. It's an engaging drawing of 2 cats stepping out of a picture frame that looks like a window and into a reading room filled with books, flora and fauna. A mouse sits on the table reading a book by candle light while birds perch on the picture frame watching as the cats reach for a fishbowl. This big (22" x 32") poster is delightful as a black and white drawing; when colored with markers or colored pencils it will be a gorgeous work of art to frame or mount.

The second collection in the samples is a set of heavy outline fuzzy black velvet coloring craft pieces in various sizes and shapes featuring both secular and Christian themes. The smallest black velvet outline pieces are sturdy die-cuts printed on extra heavy card stock and fitted with hangers or magnetic backing. These ready to color in and create door hangers and small signs could be gifts for friends or family members. Also included in this set is a large square velvet poster with a Celtic mandala and a set of four Christan mini posters.

A unique activity piece round out the velvet outline pieces: a double-sided 10" x 16" die-cut cross with a floral velvet coloring craft on one side and on the back a series of scene panels filled with people, animals and angels. The back features a word puzzle plus a hidden picture game with more content available for the activity at the web site.

Stuff2Color.com artists and creative minds at Creative Platypus have put together a collection of wonderful coloring crafts that will appeal to older kids and adults. If you're looking for artistic resources for your classroom or home school students, teen or adult activity group or even just for yourself, visit Stuff2Color.com to see what they have to offer.

Mandala Coloring Pages

noreply@blogger.com (Lee Hansen Hoch) — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 20:11:00 +0000

Sometimes it's fun to color a design that's not organic or based on reality but one with more imaginative geometric symmetry, like a kaleidoscope design or a mandala.

You can use paint, markers or colored pencils to add your favorite hues to decorate your mandala coloring picture, or you can print off your favorite design to use as a pattern for embroidery, sand painting, mosaics or patchwork.

Fall Leaves and Acorns Coloring Page

noreply@blogger.com (Lee Hansen Hoch) — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 17:45:00 +0000

Oak leaves and acorns for the squirrels and deer are sure signs that autumn is here. Print and color in this fall leaves coloring page with your favorite crayons, colored pencils or water colors. Or get creative and use this artwork as a craft pattern for yourself or your favorite kiddos.

I used this drawing to create an iron on transfer. I want to use the iron ons to make washable fabric Thanksgiving place mats. I'll embroider some and give a few to the kids to decorate with fabric markers. We can use the place mats every year for the entire fall season.

If I sew up the place mats from recycled white sheets they'll be a doubly-green holiday craft project. Find lots more printable coloring pages in the Thanksgiving coloring pages collection at Pastiche Family Portal.

Simple Stars Pattern

noreply@blogger.com (Lee Hansen Hoch) — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 20:56:00 +0000

Shapes intrigue me and stars are one of my favorites.

You can color stars white or yellow or any color you like, make them look like a quilted design or you can give them a cute face.
