Thank you so much for coloring in this beautiful book!! I would love to see the whole page finished! Love your coloring 👍😍
Oh no :( I can't find this book anywhere online? Have they stopped printing this book? I'm from the US, is this why it's difficult to find?? Help! lol I would greatly appreciate it! lol. I love your coloring style and I could listen to your voice forever!! lol
Yes, it's published by Ravensburger, a German company so sometimes difficult to get in the US. A viewer recently paid $40 for a copy!
Thank you for the kind words, so nice to hear 😊
Beautifully done, love hearing about your life!
The wee creatures on “The Hare of Casterbridge” are snails! So cute! I think I need to hunt this book down, it’s perfect for those agitated days!
Thanks for sharing your lovely colouring,love your channel. I love love this book! They are a wee line of snails lol and look equally good as coos😁
Funny what you see after people point out the obvious! Thank you, I may have engineered a new species 🤣 Also, love your screen name, that's a good one!
@@TheColourCave thank you. It's what my mom calls me 😂 bovine snails are a thing as of now! Lol
Thank you so much for coloring in this book, I've been dying to see how you color in it. The puns were the first thing that caught my eye ;)
Gem I enjoy your color and chats. I am intrigued by that book and would like to see a flip through. Thanks for sharing.
Love your chat, you sound just like me with the orderly life. I can usual tell where exactly where in a draw something can be found and tidying up paperwork etc. Have succumbed and ordered this book. Thank you Gem
You were in top form today Gem!!! Two cups of tea and many laughs 😂. Would definitely love to see a flip though of his book. This picture looks very intimidating to start however one square at a time...😬
Exactly, Janet. I'm not even thinking about finishing a double page, I just enjoy each wee square and the little surprises that are in them :)
Hi from Arizona USA! Glad to have found your channel. I just ordered this book to color in. I am so excited! I love to watch your videos because I'm learning how to shade. This is all new to me. I love how you do the shading to make it pops off the page.
A warm welcome to the Cave! If you are enjoying the videos, check out the 'Colouring for Beginners' playlist - lots of basics there to help you get started. Thanks for watching!
Just found your channel and LOVE it! Watched your review of pan pastels and it was so thorough & educational. I have all the pan pastels and learned so much. I have this coloring book by Colin and I just found out within the last week that he wrote a ton of children's books. There are 2 or 3 pages in each of the children's books that are the color images of the pages in his coloring book! I bought all the ones I could find and the stories are quite cute themselves. Hope to see more of your coloring as you are very talented! Thank you so much for sharing your gift! 💕😉👍
Well hello, Jaxsan! Lovely to have you - I don't proclaim to be an expert but I like to share my exploration process with new supplies, and have also learned a lot from 'trying' (my favourite way to learn) as well as experienced and talented viewers sharing their knowledge in the comments. I'm glad you found that video helpful.
I love Colin Thompsons work (we have a lot of his jigsaws) and although this page was challenging, it was also entertaining and satisfying to complete. I have plenty of videos on colouring if you check out some of my playlists, and thank you for taking the time to drop me a comment. 😊
Love you are using this book, one of the first I got but rarely gone back to it - will defo revisit (I think they are snails reference 'A snail of two cities' 😜😍
I think you are right about the snails!
The Colour Cave 'cow snails 🐌 🐌 😂😂
Loved the video it was a nice way to start my day.
It’s looking gorgeous, I love it! 💕
Hi from new Zealand I would love to see a flip through.. Your colouring is beautiful
I would love to see a flip through in this book. I'm with you,10 hours is a long time to be driving. I live in Texas and we can drive 10 hours and never leave the state! Lol I can't not stand being in a car for that long 😁
Thank you for your farm talk. I grew up on acreage in Australia and am very aware of the animal quality of life rule. However when my second Son moved out I bought a black Lab. She has been my first dog as an adult and has been the 'perfect' dog since day one. Pepper is now 9yrs old and has been on arthritis supps for years. She recently had an Arthroscope to remove a fragment of bone. We are six weeks in and so scared that the lameness wont settle. Im so not ready for the euthanasia talk. Animals aren't with us long enough. I can't imagine ever bonding like we have with any other dog.
I thought they were snails! 😁🐌
dashdashdot just woke my hubby up shouting ‘ they’re snails’ 😂😂😂
That. Is. Hilarious. See the trouble I can cause from a distance? 😂
The Colour Cave it’s ok... he thought I was sleep talking 😂😂😂
😂
I’d love a flip through!
With your short legs, you should come & live in Suffolk! I have a 33" inside leg, and pretty much every pair of trousers in Suffolk has a 27" or 29" inside leg. And I can't sew to save my life, either. My Mum used to have to do all my needlework homework when I was at school in the dark ages.
dashdashdot I don’t have as long legs as you but I have the same issue with 31” legs. It’s my son that has the real problems, he has a 36” leg and he’s done since he was 14!
@@TheRealMythril That's impressive! My son is 6'4" and has 34". He's skinny as a stick though, so still has trouble finding jeans to fit.
dashdashdot Levi’s and Wrangler both do ranges in 34” and 36” legs starting at a 30”waist and going up to a 42” waist. Jeans have been reasonable due to those (when I can get them at sale prices) school uniforms have been a far bigger problem! Debenhams have a few limited ranges that fit up to a 36” leg too. It’s not easy at all. Mine is 6’5” and in a size 13/14 shoe! He was in Adult shoe (Size 5)by the time he was 7.
Oooo I live in Suffolk too! Have a seamstress friend who’s pretty darn awesome at alterations I can put you in touch with if you want
@@sarahnash7174 Thank you, but my son is grown up and sorts out his own clothes now, and I shop in the wonderful world of the interweb, where even the weirdly long-legged are catered for! Or (rather embarrassingly) I can borrow my hubby's jeans, as we take the same size! 😳
One of the things I don`t enjoy is cooking but over the years I have got better. Having said that my mum was a terrible cook. We survived on beans on toast and anything from a tin or packet. Thankfully my dad`s cooking was good plus we went to my granny`s 3 times a week.
Where would the world be without Grannies....
@@TheColourCave I know. Sadly my own poor mum passed away 25 years ago but my lovely mum in law stepped in and helped me with my 2 kids. Heck she knew their after school timetable better than me. Even now she makes soup for us to take down to our daughter in Edinburgh. Xx
You made my night when you mentioned the Frankenstein pen comment! XD
I did actually LOL when I read that!
I would love a flip through of the book you are coloring. I appreciate his humor! Could you also flip through the book you showed a few days ago that has a title in a foreign language. It looked good from what I could see. I like books that are different.
Hi Lori, I assume you are talking about this book? It's the only one I have in a different language... ua-cam.com/video/5YpQYknS40k/v-deo.html
Where can I buy this book ? I've searched everywhere! Can someone help ?
You might struggle to get one, they seem to have been sold out everywhere for a while. I purchased mine from Amazon UK. I have seen them popping up on ebay every now and then, so you may just have to keep checking.
@@TheColourCave I see, thanks for your help, I'll keep looking
Hm...imagine how old you feel when you sat and watched the Beatles on Ed Sullivan...you turn around twice and blink, and then you see...it was 50 years ago, but still feels like yesterday.
I was ok at wood work but I'm terrible at metal work. I also can't park well. I can drive but I get too nervous to park.
I understand that completely - I love to drive, but when I'm in the truck (pickup truck) I get nervy parking - our spaces aren't really designed for big vehicles.
Are you aware of whether all Colin's books have a lot of grain? I love his jigsaws but not great with the grainy look? Thanks again. x
I’m not sure if there is a difference between publishers, and this book isn’t the easiest to get now. If you like a smoother look, I suggest using a blending solution/pen to smooth out the colour. If you aren’t familiar with this, I have a video covering different types: ua-cam.com/video/KhZWtWYfRtI/v-deo.htmlsi=K8NX-aK3EduW0-C5
@@TheColourCave thanks so much for your response. Have a great day. I look forward to keeping up with your ongoing videos. x
No problem. Welcome to the Cave, nice to have ya 😊
There is 2 things im really, really bad at.
1 is repairing an inflated tire. I tried so many times, but for some reason I always manage to tear more holes in the tire than previously in there, or I seem to have items left where I dont know where they go....
The other thing is washing windows. They are messy, and when I try to get them clean, they turn out even more messy. My mother gave up letting me wash the windows because of that.
It took me years to wash windows and have them to look proper but hey, I manage to do it now, sort of decent xD
I had some help in the house hold due to some personal problems, and in those years this guy and I always joked about me washing windows. He had a lot of patience showing me to get a decently looking window rofl.
lol I'm a gamer too. I am 30 years old and kids try to explain me games too lmao.
Yeh gardening is also 1 of the things that i'm not good at... I admire nature taking its own course so my garden is quiet unorganized and my neighbour is always whining about it. But yet she complains that she doesnt want to get rid of a waspsnest because it is nature...
The windows! Love it!
As for the wasps nest, i'm not so sure about that one...
When our collie was a pup having fusses was more like being mugged 😀
Ha ha! We call it 'ambushed' or 'being Pippied' 😂
Technical classes- wood work and metal work xx
Technical class! That's the name I was looking for! Thank you Rachel!
I would love to see a flip through of that book. I have been looking for a book with little section I can color. I can't often sit down for an hour or two to color but I can sit down for 15-20 minutes and get a bit of coloring in so I love those sections in books where there is a tiny set of objects to color. So my fail story is not mine it's my best friend. We call her the death of plants. He parents have the most amazing green thumb. They had roses that would bloom so much that several times a season they had to be trimmed just so the bushes wouldn't bend. But she was terrible with plants. If she called a plant hers it was a death sentence for that plant. She even once had a cactus commit suicide. But the funnier part of this was that after she died, her widower took her ashes and mixed them in with a planter he built especially to hold her favorite roses. Unfortunately nothing but nothing lives in there. She she is managing to kill plants even after her death. Her husband and I got a good laugh out of that.
My fail is sewing with a machine. I can sew and embroider by hand no problem. But every time I have tangled with a sewing machine I have managed to sew through my finger.
I'm glad that you and your friends husband found some laughter from a sad event - I have to say, that is quite an impressive (non) skill! I hope that if she is looking down on you, she sees the humour in it too!
@@TheColourCave It's been long enough that we can all have a good laugh. And if she is looking down on us from somewhere I am certain she would agree. Can't claim credit for the idea though, it came from a Terry Pratchett book where death takes a holiday.
I’ve read that one!
@@TheColourCave One of my favorites of his along with Good Omens and The Wyrd Sisters books! Even have Nanny Ogg's Cookbook!
