I'll post those up on the blog soon, or hop over to the Kickstarter campaign's update page for a preview! Mr. Collins thinks Lady Catherine would want you to pledge and get your own copy to color: Share ,  Tweet  or  Pin  this image! 

Back This Project If you've been following along on Instagram, you've seen lots of Jane Austen art over the last month or so--well, today is the day the Kickstarter for She Coloured: 24 Illustrated Jane Austen Quotes goes live! I really enjoyed putting together the book and the rewards. You can see all of the illustrations and quotes included in the coloring book on this page .  Here are some of the other rewards you can get in addition to the coloring book!
