Bundle Of Wheat Tied With Twine Coloring Page

A bundle of wheat stands upright on this page, tied around the middle with twine whose loose ends curl away below the knot. The stalks fan out at the top, each one carrying a seed head built from rounded grains with long whiskers rising above them. Below the tie, the stems gather into a straight column. This is the finest line work in the collection and it suits an older child or an adult. The grain heads reward close attention, and there are enough of them to fill a long quiet session. Anyone who finds them too small can color the heads as single shapes and leave the grains as texture, which still looks right. Wheat is harvested at the end of summer and the bundles stand in fields into the colder weeks, which is why this page belongs here rather than in a spring set. Golden yellow is the obvious choice. A paler cream through the stems and something deeper in the grain heads gives the bundle depth without any extra drawing.
