To the other coloring book ladies: are you narrowing down which ones you like?

‎11-10-2015 06:24 AM

I don't think I care for the ones (mandellas) as much as the paisley designs. More variation. The repeats so constantly aren't my favorites. They're very pretty, but I like more variation.

 

What ones are you leaning towards now that you've colored some?

Sending joy, prayers, love and gentle hugs to all who need them this holiday season.

Actually, mandelas and paisleys are my favorites.  However, right now, I'm "into" Christmas coloring.  I bought Anna Griffin's set of Christmas books from HSN recently and am currently working on one which I hope to use as a Christmas decoration in my home when I finish it.  If I like a completed project, I frame it (in one of those cheapie plain black frames) and hang it where I can see it).  Others are currently relegated to a manila folder!!!  I LOVE coloring!!!

 

(Ooops!  Regulated should have been relegated!)

I have many that I love. I tend to favor the non-abstract ones, ones with more realistic scenes and ones I can learn from.

 

I really like the Dover publications (DOver nature, etc) for example:

Tropical Paradise Scenes to Paint or Color (Dover Art Coloring Book)African Plains Coloring Book (Dover Nature Coloring Book)National Parks Coloring Book (Dover Nature Coloring Book)Forest Animals Coloring Book (Dover Nature Coloring Book)

Dover Publications-Butterflies Coloring Book (Dover Nature Coloring Book)Dover Publications-Wonderful World Of Horses Coloring Book (Dover Nature Coloring Book)

 

And creative haven:

 

Creative Haven Sea Life Color by Number Coloring Book (Creative Haven Coloring Books)Creative Haven American Landscapes Color by Number Coloring Book (Creative Haven Coloring Books)Creative Haven Wildlife Color by Number Coloring Book (Creative Haven Coloring Books)Creative Haven SeaScapes Coloring Book (Creative Haven Coloring Books)


And this unique one for science nerds:

The Art of Nature Coloring Book: 60 Illustrations Inspired by Vintage Botanical and Scientific Prints

 

I have tons more I like too, like:

Really RELAXING Colouring Book 4: Natural Wonders: A Colourful Journey Through the Natural World (Really RELAXING Colouring Books) (Volume 4)Lost Ocean: An Inky Adventure and Coloring BookAnimal Kingdom: Color Me, Draw Me (A Millie Marotta Adult Coloring Book)Tropical World: A Coloring Book Adventure (A Millie Marotta Adult Coloring Book)

 

I could go on and on...
