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.
And here I thought I was the only adult that loves to color! I have a couple of 64 crayon sets about the house. I tell people it is for the children that visit...but we really do not have many children visit...
I had no idea you liked to color! I'm the same way!! I love that you have a coloring book and crayons at your desk.. it is a great way to let go of the stress.
This "adult" coloring book is beautiful! I think I may have to get one!
What a beautiful book! I was envious of a little girl on the plane recently who had a Disney princess colouring book - even if she did colour the princess's skIn green!
Love this book Elaine... just think of all the fun one could have with it! Hope your Xmas was lovely and may 2012 bring much that makes life truly worthwhile. S
WHat a beautiful journal - and I'm sure your colorings are just as! :) Drawing / painting are such a wonderful release.... I'm finding that out with the needles lately! :)
That book is beautiful! I can see how coloring would definitely help clear your mind. I bookmarked Cynthia Emerlye's site. Thanks for sharing, Elaine. :-)

ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous coloring book!
Elaine, That book is so pretty! I think it would be fun to sit and color in an adult coloring book. It would be quite relaxing!

ReplyDeleteI'd be too scared to mess up the gorgeous art! But that's because I know my artistic limits :) Very cool book~
