Solidarity Among #thehumanrainbow (bloghop!)

June 27, 2020 by Sandy Allnock 13 Comments Filed Under: Copic Intermediate, thehumanrainbow

Hello – and happy Saturday! Yes it’s a bonus video here on the ol blog, and it’s for a special cause. A group of crafters got together to put together a hop to fight racism! It’s something that’s not just a fad around this blog as you probably know…I’ve been coloring the Human Rainbow for over a decade, and trying to get others to do the same. Even with a free chart to help get started Copic coloring diversity! I’ll link to the chart at the end of this post, so keep your eyes peeled.

Supplies for this project are linked at the end of this post. Compensated affiliate links may be used at no cost to you.

I chose to use an image from Mo Manning’s site – she has AWESOME people digistamps! I picked up a bunch and have been coloring them for the last few weeks on social media, and this one is perfect for this hop – both cheery and carrying a message of unity!

View on YouTube.

Wasn’t that fun? I loved using colors from the darker skin to add depth to the lighter one – it really ties the colors together nicely while allowing each to have very different skin tones.

If you’ve been wondering where all the Copic markers and reinkers have gone – because I get asked all the time (I have no insider knowledge!)…..Copic was planning to let everyone run out of the OLD reinkers and come out with new bottles in spring. Then, well, Covid happened, and like everyone else, I’m sure they got thrown off their game. I expect sometime later this year we’ll see them become available again.

FREE HUMAN RAINBOW CHART

You may have seen the single page chart around, but there’s a “pack” of charts in the human rainbow collection!

Bloghop info was falling apart with broken links so has been removed to limit frustration.

    Sandy,

    Thank you so much for being a part of this and your honesty in this situation. As a white woman who dates a black man, it is close to my heart and it hurts my heart that he is treated differently in this world than I am. Your coloring is fabulous as always. I would love to take a class by you for realism! I have taken one by someone else, but I think your teaching style suits my learning style much better!!! ❤❤❤

    Sandy, thank you for being a part of this important and inspirational hop! Your coloring, as always, is beautiful! I swear I could just watch you color all day. I think Justine is awesome for putting this together. I don’t know if it will actually do anything to help but I like to think that if we all do our little part we can begin to make changes to help the world come together as one.

    Sandy you always do such a great job of coloring different ethnicities and you have been doing it for such a long time. I think it’s fantastic that you crafters are getting together for this hop!

    Thanks for doing this Sandy, and for making the Human Collection free to download. Just yesterday, I was coloring a selection of little fairy girls for my granddaughter’s birthday card. I pulled out your old charts from the Online Card Classes Copic Class and made my limited collection of markers somehow work to color a collection of ethnically diverse fairies. I appreciate the way you celebrate the diversity of all God’s creations in your work. By the way, that OCC copic class was my introduction to Sandy Allnock and I have been a fan ever since.
