@bluestriped bee: there's ones coming out in October but I do believe there is another one. Search on Amazon
-
@Bao: aw, boo!
-
I got Millie Marotta's Animal Kingdom and it's beautiful!
-
@Bao: oh cool! I do see some! Thanks for the heads up!
-
@HabesBabe: Nope, it was an example page, but it is beautiful!
-
Ah! I love this thread. I've been eyeing the Enchanted Forest one and Secret Garden on amazon... I seriously wish I had them right now, this week is stressing me out. Long ago, a therapist suggested coloring as a way to quiet my mind and I miss doing it!
-
@psw27: I ended up printing off a couple pages from google. They aren't great quality, obviously, but it'll do the trick in a pinch.
-
@psw27: Get enchanted forest, seriously! It's only $9 and it has over 80 pages! I'm only on my third page and it has provided over 15 hours of entertainment.
-
My daughter has been asking me to color a lot recently, and it is very relaxing! I don't know that I want an entire coloring book, but maybe for a road trip or something.
-
@Bao: I'm already on amazon...
-
@psw27:
-
I've been using them as a form of de-stressing during my IF appts. Careful; it's addictive!!
(This one is from my positive inspirations book.)
-
And these were with crayons:
-
@jaguar: Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
I can't wait to get mine. aaaaah.
-
@.twist.: you'll love it!!
I have Secret Garden too, but only just received it for my birthday & haven't started yet.
-
I just realized that I have Magic Garden and not Secret Garden.. The pages are pretty thick, so I'm hoping marker won't bleed through! The pictures done with marker look so much bolder.
-
This thread totally inspired me! Bought the Animal Kingdom one and some colored pencils from Amazon. I have a trip to DHs family next week and think this will be a great distraction
-
Yes, I bought the Color me Happy coloring book on a whim at Target one night, and I really enjoy it! I'd like to find some more pigmented colored pencils, or maybe I should try markers!
-
I've been inspired too. I've been eyeing the Enchanted Forest book for awhile and this thread finally got me to order it. Now I just need to find my colored pencils. I have a nice set from either highschool or college that I haven't used in years.
-
@jaguar: Those really nice! So artsy.
-
I like to look at #adultcoloring on Instagram, it has really cool pictures.
-
@Bao: I love coloring! That book was out of stock when I went to buy it
-
I finally took the plunge and got enchanted forest today.
Now I just have to get over my anxiety about ruining it when I colour.
ETA: so I'm trying it out and SO walks by, "wait a minute, you bought that for YOU?"
really? You thought I bought this for the 3 year old? -
@MrsH: on Amazon??
-
@Kimberlybee: hahaha I do that too!
-
@Bao: yeah I bought books and pens on Amazon a couple of months ago
-
@MrsH: oh I thought you meant today, gotcha! Which one did you end up buying then?
-
I love the idea of watercolor pencils! So far I have Secret Garden and Fantastic Cities. I usually love the flora/fauna books, but I'm really digging the architectural mandalas and cityscapes of Fantastic Cities!
-
I bought one a few months ago and I really like it! Its a mandela one though so I'm getting a little bored of them all being so similar. I think I need to get another.
-
Just finished this one!
-
@Mae: that's pretty!
-
@Bao: that looks amazing! I definitely need to pick up some markers.
-
@Bao: Do you find yourself using one type of marker more than the other? Or do you use the "fine" for the bigger areas? I only have ultra fine style markers.
-
@MamaG: I use 0.3mm and 1.0mm markers, I would say I use them both equally but the 0.3 are definitely a must with the book I have.
-
You guys are inspiring me to try it
-
How have I never heard of this ?!? This sounds amazing! I used to color all the time at work, but can't at my new job and have been missing it.
-
Michaels had the Enchanted Forest book (along with many others) when I was there today. And they have a 40% off a regular priced item AND 40% off of colored pencil/marker coupons on their website.
I was there specifically looking for the markers @Bao posted earlier, but they only had the 10ct ultra fine (.3mm).
-
I love this! You've all inspired me to order some supplies. I stopped at walmart to pick up cheapo markers and colored pencils, and printed off a few pages, but the cheap stuff doesn't work well. I ordered the color me calm book, and the enchanted forest (although it's temporarily out of stock, sad!) and the super fine pens. I can't wait to get started! This will be a super distraction from my TTC/IF obsession.
-
I coloured one today (it's terrible) and my fingers are SO sore! I haven't held a pencil for that long in years. Too funny.
-
@Bao: I love this one:
Does anyone use gel pens? When I browse for coloring books on amazon, I keep getting these as a suggestion. I currently use colored pencils just because I had them laying around, but am curious about ink.
