Hey Steemians!

Week 38 of #zencolouringcontest starts now!

Each week I will provide a stencil to be coloured in with no restrictions on the medium used, with a chance to win 45% of this posts payout and the weeks' donations for 1st place.

To add a little twist and interaction within the community, there will be a featured colour each week, picked at random from entrant's choices. This colour must be used in some way in your interpretation (use as little or as much of the featured colour as you like).

The featured colour this week is Blue

This week the stencil is inspired by the Phoenix. The Phoenix symbolizes rebirth and rising up from the ashes. Throughout life we all face things that bring us down and feel defeated, to overcome them we must press forward, learn and grow from our experiences. This inspiration is especially important to me as I have been going through a lot of hard life challenges and emotions. It can also relate to how the value of Steem has dropped and if we all try hard enough we can make that rises from the ashes too! I hope you all enjoy colouring this week's stencil.

If you haven't seen it already, check out the process video I made for the creation of this stencil here.

Have fun, but most importantly have a relaxing zen-colouring sesh!

Great concept for a contest, best of luck to everyone!

Esta es mi entrada a este concurso.

I love the volcanic background!

I like how magical the greenish background makes this guy stand out!

This is so beautiful how it glows❣️

Mi entrada.

Great background - it's almost like this guy is some sort of guardian.

I like your choice of a black background - and inverting the lines of the phoenix. It looks like it should be a decal on a car or something.

That black background was an accident, it was supposed to be really really dark red, but my computer had other ideas, oops! Thank you for your words of encouragement.

That's really funny!

I like the subtle colors and how it adds air to this fire. I like it.

I like how this one stands out so much from the black background. Your blues are wonderful, just stunning.

Thank you for your comment!

I like this one!! it looks like a hunt shield!! good luck!! :D

Thank you. It was fun to make.

Talk about one that should be a car decal!!! Hehehe. I like the red flames on the shield and I like the background as well!

Thank you! It was funny how this one just sort of happened. I love putting the different elements together. I see it as (perhaps) a pin for "The Order of the Phoenix" - perhaps there was a medieval version long before JK Rowling decided to use it...
