I have long been a colorer. Ever since my mom bought me my first coloring book and crayons I have spent long hours coloring away. I even keep a coloring book and crayon set stashed in one of my desk drawers at work and take them out when I have had a stressful day and need to look at something besides a computer screen. Coloring just relaxes me. While browsing through Etsy this morning, I discovered this coloring journal for grown-ups by Cynthia Emerlye and love the idea that it mixes beautiful, complex images to color with blank pages to write down your thoughts and meditations.
I think I am ready to move on from my Suzi's Zoo coloring book. You can find Cynthia's coloring journal on her Web site and while you are there, check out her other beautiful artwork. She also sells some of her work in her Etsy shop and she has an art blog at www.EmerlyeArts.blogspot.com. Check out her lovely kirigami Valentine she just posted.
