ADULT COLORING BOOKS
Adult coloring books have become a big thing. I received my first adult coloring book many years ago as a Christmas gift from a high school friend, during my first year of college. It was a book of snowflakes. My ex bought me several coloring books. My two favorites were celtic knots and classic stained windows. There was a dog breed edition that I absolutely loathed until I got all Andy Warhol and started coloring them in purples, greens and electric blue. I also have given them as gifts, paired with colored pencils. Which is what I am going to do today.
Here are some page examples...
CELTIC KNOT
SNOW FLAKE
STAINED GLASS WINDOW
Many people are doing this for stress relief. I have found it does put your mind in a near meditative space.

These are two of the books I have been wanting...

My mom always bought coloring books with a lot of flowers and plants in them, which were always really nice. She was also really fond of the celtic knots and geometric shapes as well. I love coloring books I just hate that it's a trend now because they've all gone up in price...
ReplyDeleteI know! I don't go to Barnes and Noble very often anymore, but I had to pick up a book my son ordered and there was a display in the foyer of adult coloring books. The books I used to get for $5.95 ten years ago, are now $10.95 - $12.95! There is on on Amazon that is cheaper. That is the one I have been giving as a gift, but now that all of my friends and family have that one, I don't know what to do. :)
DeleteI have 2 coloring books but haven't really done much with them. We are trying to watch less TV though and this seems like a pretty good substitute!
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking it would be wonderful to do while listening to audiobooks. :)
DeleteI really want to get me a colouring book or two once I'm settled in the new place for stress relief for sure!
ReplyDeleteThey are great Christmas presents! Maybe you should hint around that you want some. :)
