Colorama Adult Coloring Book

deepwaterdotter — Fri, 03 Jul 2015 23:18:48 GMT

I saw an ad on tv for this item. Although it doesn't appeal to me, I can imagine that it would be a calming and creative way to pass time. Has anyone here bought this item?

Yes!!!!

I bought the set of 4 books with the pencils on HSN for $20 and free shipping.

Hi deep, I saw it on HSN. I keep reading that it's very relaxing and a lot of adult women love it.

Because of that, I checked into it a little more and read the reviews. It's very popular, apparently it's usually done with colored pencils, which range from those made by the crayon people to professional artist's pencils.

I had no idea this hobby was going on. I looked at some of the other books online, they have one for art deco pictures, cats, floral, etc. It seems this is a pretty big business.

Yes, it is very relaxing .

Although, the patterns are very detailed and do take a long time to finish. It's fun to me.

I think they sold out the day they were on. I had priced them on Amazon and HSN couldn't be beat. I would have paid that for just one book.

A friend got an adult coloring book for me but I haven't had time to actually sit down and color. I think she got it from here:

I recall someone posted about this right before the forum change. Bless her heart....no one was responding so I posted several pics of the coloring books & said I bet no one is responding because most assumed "adult" coloring books to be racy! Hee.

Beautiful creative outlet!

nunya, I went to Amazon to see if they had coloring books for grown ups, and they have a lot.

Amazon is always my go-to for products to check out, I think they have everything

LOL! When I was a kid my mother had white carpeting installed in the living room and she put a baby gate in the doorway to stop me and my younger brother from getting in. When my mother wasn't looking brother busted through the gate like a rodeo bull and made a beeline for that white cloud of a carpet waving a green marker in his hand. He scribbled on the carpet while bravely I cringed behind a chair. My mother walked in and shrieked. I had no idea humans could make that noise. Boy did my brother get into trouble. My poor mother scrubbed and scrubbed but to no avail. To this day we have no idea where that marker came from.

As sorry as I am for your mom with her carpet, I have tears in my eyes from giggling over this story (the bolded portions are what shoved me over the edge)!

When I was much, much younger, I went over to my girlfriend's house and her mom had put up velvet ropes (like at the theatre) to keep people out of the living room . . . it was the most amazing thing I had ever seen!

I'm telling you, it was the most amazing thing I had ever seen and get this . . . the ropes matched the furniture!

The whole room was in creams and a french blue . . . I can still see it in my head, it is seared into my brain . . . and she probably did hire ushers but then again maybe not. I don't think too many people were allowed in that house . . .

I can also still remember my mom's face when I was relaying this information to her when I got home . . . oy!

I'm coloring the creative cats coling book by creative haven. I didn't see the HSN set you are referring to. I do find coloring the cats a good way to relax.
