Hey guys, Happy September!
What do you think of the super hot and trendy Adult Coloring Books? This has been a thing for the past few years but it didn’t really go viral until earlier this year.
Personally, I never stopped coloring as I grew up. I still have a couple of coloring books that I love to color in. I think one is meant for kids, but the others are more advanced art, like mandalas and woodland scenes.
I love coloring so I think that if marketing coloring books for adults helps to inspire others to keep coloring than I’m all for it.
What about you?
Here is a really great article by The New Yorker about the topic: Adult Coloring Books and the Rise of the “Peter Pan” Market at The New Yorker
I love coloring .. I too have always done it ..but would draw my own and then color them. It’s very nice to have them drawn for me!! Less to think about ..easier to relax and just color!!
i think its great keeps you busy
Love them! When I was little my mom had a collection of colouring books from Troubador press like the Giants and Gnomes and Tales of Fantasy. I would admire the pictures but I was not allowed to draw in them. Glad to see the richness and detail of adult colouring books coming back in vogue.
Love it!!.. The same as you, I never really stopped coloring,,, I like a lot the new designs of these coloring books, but one thing I do love about children’s coloring books is that you can use crayons, I love the smell!..
I find it funny that all of a sudden I keep seeing all these articles about adult coloring. I’ve done it for years (as an adult) when I first started looking for adult books, I couldn’t find any. Now they seem to popping up everywhere. They are a lot more expensive so I may have to stick with what I’ve been buying. If money is not an issue then the adult ones are great !!
I color
I have always loved to color and its my number 1 past time / hobbies now that I’m disabled and not able to get out much! I would love to have better selections for felt pen coloring!
Coloring is cheaper than therapy & you have a beautiful work of art at the end of your therapy session !!!!!
Love the idea and the pages make great card paper or wrapping for small things.
I make a child’s coloring set, that the children Love (I sell at the award winning Las Cruces Farmers & Crafts Market). Some adults have asked me to make larger ones for them; should be available within the next few weeks. I’m so excited!
I bought 2 recently…….on sale……I loved several I seen but 15.00 is a bit much. Days before I went back to B&N, they had at least 15 different kinds for 8 bucks, when I went back they were gone, I did find the 2 I bought, the kind lady at the register said she had never in her life seen a run on coloring books, they were flying out of the stores 🙂
I think they are an excellent idea., for many reasons stress relief, pleasure etc; Go for it!!
