Hi there. How are you? Me? I'm so excited!
After a month of really hard work, I'm happy to report that my coloring book is here and ready for purchase! Take a peek inside my friends.
Pattern Play - A Coloring Book by Jennifer Johansson. Now available for purchase!
A glimpse inside. This page was inspired by paper lanterns.
My interpretation of wood grain.
Straight from my Sketchbook
If you follow me here or on social media, you'll probably recognize some of these drawings, as they came straight out of my sketchbook. (Well, almost straight out of my sketchbook. I did a little cleaning and editing in Photoshop and Illustrator.) As most of what I've been drawing lately has a patterned aspect about it, I decided to title this "Pattern Play." As a big fan of alliteration, I think it works and describes what one will find inside.

For best results, use colored pencils, water-based markers or crayons to color in "Pattern Play."
The Details
"Pattern Play" features 20 pattern drawings, printed on just one side of the paper for optimum "colorabilty." You can easily remove pages from the book to share or even hang. It was professionally printed at the Printing Plant right here in Carbondale, on a nice 70 lb. paper. For best results, I recommend you color with colored pencils, water-based markers, or crayons. Sharpies and other solvent-based markers work as well, but will bleed through. As long as you put a scrap piece of paper under your page, color away with your Sharpies!

I can't wait to see my coloring book in action! I invite you to share your colored pages with my via email or on Instagram with the hashtag #ColorWithJen
Act Fast Friends!
I've had so many inquiries about my coloring book that I do expect them to sell out quickly. I opened sales up yesterday to my mailing list members and sold half of my stock! If you want one, I'd BUY NOW!
That's all for now! Ta-ta!
