Today I spent 10 hours on the ferry from Hirtshals in Denmark to Stavanger in Norway. Had my latop with me and digitised the current free cliart by Clipartopolis: Bluework Noah's Ark. Here they are. I intend to use them as a colouring book for my granddaughter - just have to wait till I'm home again to test them. Aren't they fun?

Good question. Someone would have to look after Noah & the animals.
by mops 12 Aug 2012
Neither Noah or Mrs Noah in the set. I'll have to designs a pair myself.

How cute these are! That was some trip, 10 hours, good heavens. It must be rather further than I thought, or else they should get stronger oarsmen on that ferry. So glad you had something to do, and they really turned out just darling. Hugs, Marji

Ditto and thanks for the chuckle!

Average speed 19 knots (35 km/hr) - they need galley slaves to up that. They do get new ships in November, wonder if they are faster. They will be bigger.

These are great for her to color. You made good use of your ferry trip. The photo is for "bonnetgirl". She asked about a Mrs. Noah.

10 hours is a long time and you were very productive. DGD will have such a good time coloring this cute group. I always have to take something with me.....it keeps me from annoying the grownups by asking, "Are we there, yet?" ;)

These are great designs. I have downloaded some designs from other sites meant for a coloring book - however, I have no idea what to stitch them out on. Then is it a one time color book or is there special colors they use so it can be washed and colored again.

I just used a heavy cotton for a Christmas colouring book and it was a one-time thing.
But some fabric markers can be washed out as long as they are not ironed which sets the colours permanently.
by marjialexa 15 Aug 2012
Or, you could use the 'fabric crayons' that use heat to set them, and the coloring book could be a keepsake. I wonder if you could use the 'chalkboard' material to embroider on, they could use colored chalk to color & erase & color again.
by marjialexa 15 Aug 2012
I think there is also 'whiteboard' material, I've seen it in rolls like contact paper. Kids could use whiteboard markers, wipe off and use again.

Oh Mops, they are really adorable! I hope you didn't get motion sickness doing this on the water :-) I hope you took some photos too. Seeing the ark rolling on the waves make me think maybe you felt the rolling waves too!

This was just a breeze, didn't have trouble using a mouse. Fortunately I never get seasick, not even in a force 10 gail in a sailing vessel in mid-Atlantic.
