This year I’m counting down the days ‘til Christmas with books and other fun
things readers enjoy! I love the Holiday Season so I’m sharing ideas for you to
fill your holiday stocking!
When I was a child, some of my favorite gifts were coloring books. As I grew up, I felt a little childish buying kids coloring books for my own entertainment, but I did it anyway. I still like to color. It's soothing, relaxing and calming. And now coloring books made specifically for adults is the new fad! All to my pleasure!
Here are some of my favorites:
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.
Over 30 detailed drawings depict men and women in Victorian regalia
adorned with goggles, gears, antique clocks, and other artifacts of the
steam-powered era. Evocative backgrounds feature moody mashups of
butterflies, flowers, and stars with locomotives, hot-air balloons,
Victrolas, and other machinery. Pages are perforated and printed on one
side only for easy removal and display. Specially designed for
experienced colorists, Steampunk Designs and other Creative Haven® coloring books offer an escape to a world of inspiration and artistic fulfillment.
Thirty original drawings depict bloodthirsty characters in all manner of
mysterious, romantic, and moody settings — ideal for fans of today's
popular books, television shows, and movies inspired by vampire lore.
Illustrations include moonlit graveyards, toothy antiheroes, and
swooning maidens amid settings that teem with serpents, skulls, and
swarming bats.
This coloring book panorama of late-18th- and early-19th-century French
fashions offers a fascinating survey of styles. 45 plates of detailed,
accurate illustrations include representations of claw-hammer frock
coats and vests for the well-dressed man, loose pantaloons and shorter
skirts for the working classes, high-waisted promenade gowns for
fashionable ladies, and accessories. 45 black-and-white illustrations.
This magical mix of winged fairies, the guardians of nature, is a wonder
to behold. Dressed in exquisite designs, embellished with ruffles,
leaves, and blossoms, spellbinding sprites flutter across the pages of
this beautifully illustrated collection. A host of cats, squirrels,
birds, and other animal friends join in the fun. The only way to improve
the scenes is to add your own colors with paint or crayons!
Happy Holidays!
