Since the world seems like it’s going to Hell in a hand basket everyday I’ve decided to take up adult coloring. I bought two books the other day and one of them I really like. It’s calledEnchanted Forest: An Inky Quest & Coloring Book byJohanna Basford. The book itself is thick and of heavier stock and the pictures are reallypretty. There are two other books from her calledSecret GardenandLost Oceanand good chance I will getthose next. The other one I have now is fromCreative Haven Art Nouveau Animal Designs; it’s ok so far for $4. The colored pencil set I bought is Prang with fifty colors that are pre-sharpened and were $11 when they were purchased. It seemed like quite a few people favored the Prismacolor brand, but they were a little expensive at the moment. I will keep you updated on what works well and what doesn’t.
