St. Gianna Coloring Page

St. Gianna's feast day is on April 28th but I have her coloring page already completed and uploaded to Scribd. I just have to say that trying to turn a photo of a real person into a coloring page is so much harder than a painting or an icon! I kept working on St. Gianna and it kept looking more and more like a pencil portrait not a coloring page. Finally I just had to black line it and be done with it so I am not totally happy with the result. My husband and a dear friend helped me to remember what my original purpose was for making these coloring pages and hopefully that will help mediate my angst.

I also have St. Joseph the Worker and St. Mark ready to go but... my scanner broke yesterday. Husband assures me that he can get the new one up and running tonight in time to post St. Mark's tomorrow. It's not a picture of St. Mark, but rather his symbol based on this really cool card. Oh, and while you are planning for next week, don't forget St. Catherine of Sienna on the 29th. Bye!
