Gift Guide: Word Search Coloring Book by Alice Ayden
 

WordSearchColoringBookCategory: Holidays, Nature
Print book price range: 8.99

Book Dimensions:8.5 x 11
Number of Images (colorable pages): 36

About Word Search Coloring Book:
Adult Coloring Books are a fantastic way to relieve stress, be creative, and just have fun with various colors. There are themes with each word search puzzle including dogs, cats, animals, birds, and holidays like Christmas, Halloween, Easter, Valentine’s Day, and St. Patrick’s Day. There are word lists for each word search puzzle, but – for an extra challenge – try to find the words that match the theme without looking at the word list. Color the words and extra letters however you imagine.

Each word search and quilt design is original for this book. To prevent the majority of bleed through, I have one major design per page with a smaller design or word list on the other side. All you need is your favorite coloring tools and a smile. Have fun!

What was your inspiration for this book?:
I love experimenting with colors, and I also love creating word searches. So, I decided to combine the two! The designs were as fun to create as they are to color.

Number of Images (colorable pages): 24
Link to a free coloring page from this book: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/316166836317123602/

About The Dark Lord and the Seamstress:
An adult coloring book featuring an illustrated love story told in verse about the importance of looking beyond someone’s (poorly dressed) exterior and into their heart. Features a little trickery, a little romance, and a little bit of sartorial fun!

Once upon a time, oh yes,
So very long ago,
There was of course a lovely girl,
Who came to learn to sew.
And as it goes, fair listener,
She learned to sew so well
That even the Dark Lord himself
Heard of her talent, down in Hell.

What was your inspiration for this book?:
I wrote this poem several years ago while studying folklore and mythology. My illustrator had called dibs on the project way back then, and just this year, with Kickstarter the help of the onset of the adult coloring book craze, we fulfilled our dream of making this wee book!

About Coloring To Relax The Mind: Under The Sea Volume 2:
The Coloring To Relax The Mind is an Adult Coloring Book that will help you to relax. Psychologists say that activities such as coloring which immerses us in one activity helps our mind and relaxes us. We all lead very busy lives with family, work commitments, health issues and much more. There is so much going on.

We neglect the one thing we should not and that is ourselves. We need to MAKE time for ourselves. When we were children (and for some of us, that was some time ago), we found enjoyment in creating art by coloring. We spent many hours hunched over our coloring books with crayons (or pencils and/or markers)…

What was your inspiration for this book?:
I’m an Australian and I love the sea so I chose the sea and the magnificent creatures that live there to create the coloring illustrations.

Gift Guide: Mermaids- Calm Ocean Coloring Collection by Selina Fenech
 

MermaidscalmoceancoloringcollectionCategory: Inspirational, Nature, People, Photorealistic
Print book price range: 9.95

Book Dimensions:8.5 x 11 inches
Number of Images (colorable pages): 25

About Mermaids- Calm Ocean Coloring Collection:
Be taken away to a calm, underwater world full of beautiful mermaids, dolphins, and aquatic creatures, as you color in these stunningly detailed illustrations.

This coloring book features 25 detailed mermaid designs by Selina Fenech, ready to be brought to life with color!

BONUS This book includes TWO full sets of the 25 artworks, for a total of 50 pages to color in. Page size is 8.5x11inches, letter size.

The paper is a quality white bond, images on one side only for easy removal and display. Coloring for all ages, these intricate designs are suitable for adults and experienced colorists. Some artworks contain artistic/concealed nudity.

What was your inspiration for this book?:
As an artist, color is a thing of magic in my life. Color creates shapes, forms, and feelings in the artworks I paint. Laying color onto a blank page is when I feel closest to true magic, when I feel happiest and most relaxed, and it’s through what I create that I share my love of magic with the world.

Through my coloring books I want to share that same magic with you.

The artworks in my books are based on my completed paintings, which I have painted over the last ten years as a professional artist. I have created the coloring designs to be intricate and detailed but still fun and accessible. There is something for lovers of meditative detail while simple enough to not be overwhelming for younger colorists.

When designing my books I decided to print them with two copies of each design, because I know as an artist there are always so many possibilities! I wanted to give everybody the chance of a do-over with every design. Try a different medium, or a different colour scheme. Or a chance to share the magic with a friend, child, parent, sibbling. Because sharing your creativity and joy of color is the best magic of all.

MeditationsThroughColoringCategory: Meditation
Print book price range: $12.95

Book Dimensions: 8.5 x 0.2 x 8.5
Number of Images (colorable pages): 92

About Meditations Through Coloring:
Meditation is a stress-reduction technique implemented the world over. Although the techniques vary, people from across the globe embrace meditation as an essential part of their daily practice. As scientists and psychologists explore this ancient path today, they are discovering alternatives to traditional meditation. One of these is coloring. Coloring is a low-stress activity that invokes deep focus and relaxation. The act of coloring can unlock hidden creative potential while alleviating stress by allowing the practitioner to concentrate on specific patterns and colors while letting go of any worries and concerns. This volume showcases images inspired by the ancient art form of henna tattoos, known as mehndi. Throughout the world, mehndi is incorporated into special celebrations and rites of passage, ranging from weddings to childbirth. Experienced meditation practitioners and general readers alike will enjoy Meditations through Coloring as they explore intricate patterns and the calming interaction of color and space on every page.

What was your inspiration for this book?:
In this volume, we have carefully selected 92 images inspired by the ancient art form of henna tattoos, known as mehndi, for you to color. The art of mehndi entails applying a paste made from the crushed leaves of the henna plant directly to the skin. The paste is applied in decorative patterns, typically to the hands and feet.

Although the illustrations are derived from a traditional art form, the intricate and organic nature of the patterns makes them ideal for anyone wanting to focus their mind, relax, and explore the interaction of color and space. It is our hope that you enjoy these Medita- tions through Coloring and that they help you find your path to a calmer, healthier you.
