It’s no big secret that I love to color. I have color books galore. I have an entire Pinterest board devoted to coloring pages. I grew up coloring and certainly haven’t given it up as I get older. I don’t plan on ever giving up coloring. Why would I? It’s fun and relaxing and I get to be creative without going completely bonkers. For me that’s a winning scenario.
I still love to color Disney pictures and Hello Kitty and coloring pages that are generally meant for younger children. I think that’s all pretty fabulous. I also think that grown up coloring is pretty fabulous. I like the intricate patterns and the more detailed pictures. It’s a fun challenge for me, and I like challenges so long as I can find some fun in them. So I’ve scoured Pinterest for “grown up” coloring pages, and I’ve found oodles.
And then I read about something cool on the internet.
Johanna Basford hand drew these two amazing coloring books – Secret Garden and Enchanted Forest. They are seriously some of the coolest things I have seen in a really long time. These picture are most definitely meant for grownups and for the finest tipped markers. My dad got my mom and I the Enchanted Forest coloring book, and I’ve had so much fun with it since getting it. I’m only on the second picture because they are definitely a labor of time and love, but I’m so excited to color this coloring book and invest in the Secret Garden one.
Happy Coloring!
