Thanks for the link PrincessLala.  I'm still working on my first picture.

I use Polychromos pencils from Faber Castell, they're amazing.

Where can you get these? Are they hard to use? I've seen them on the adult coloring group's facebook page and they look amazing!

I picked up Lost Ocean and Secret Garden. I'm hoping to start coloring over the weekend. Maybe it still inspire me artistically again. I really want to take and illustration class.

I have some of these, I love them but they bring out some kind of OCD in me. I get so frustrated when I color in a wrong bit in a wrong color!  ALL those triangles were supposed to be green, but I miss like 1 triangle and accidentally color it blue and for me the whole book is ruined 


I get so lost in them though!

Yes this is me!!

I do love it though.  It's very relaxing.  I use gel pens.

I'm buying 2 copies of the Harry Potter one tomorrow- one for me and one for my best friend!  I'm going to surprise her with it when we're both home for Thanksgiving break

I finished my first adult coloring book picture and I am working on my second one. I haven't started coloring in Lost Ocean yet. I might pick up some more Creative Haven ones also.

I have a couple.....one with realistic birds and one with Christmas trees.  I haven't tried them yet, but I hope to find time for them soon.

My daughter Anita uses them and finds them very relaxing.

I found some at the local library for only $6.

Found the Harry Potter one @ Costco last weekend...  I'm still hunting for the Frizen one.

I saw some at Coles/Chapters on the weekend that were really interesting - it also had a bit of an activity / treasure hunt thing (saw 3 like that). If I do get any (and hubby seems interested too), I'll go for those.

I got Designer Desserts today  at Hobby Lobby for $6. I also got some today from Amazon.

I've always loved coloring books.  I have been buying the more intricate ones for years and years.  My most recent one was a book of insanely intricate mandalas.  A couple weeks after buying it, the adult coloring book idea started popping up everywhere lol.  I'm still working on that book, so it will be a while before I'm ready to do another.

I still have a lot to do on this picture but this is what it looks like so far.

OOh that one looks yummy!    I have some pics from the coloring book I'm using right now.

This one takes up an entire page and took me weeks to color.  I kept it at work and did a little bit at a time on my lunch breaks to sort of reset my brain for the second half of the day.

And these ones are silly and little and didn't take much time at all, but I think they're cute anyway lol.

They're really pretty Zennabug. I've been coloring  a little at a time also instead of sitting down to do the whole page at once.

I've never heard of adult coloring books.  I have at least four G4 coloring books that people from work bought for me randomly that I need to work on.  I bought the pony wedding one for Cadence and Shining Armor a while back and I'm still working on it.  I have to be in the mood to color I think, but I use colored pencils because crayons are greasy.

I too, am looking forward to Lost Ocean. its not for me until Christmas though! Doh!
