Garden Party

This new book, GARDEN PARTY: Flower Designs To Color by Robin J. Baker and Kelly A. McElwain is quickly becoming a favorite.  Lots of designs with minute details to color in this one.  Some have silly bugs and birds in them, but most are geometric designs featuring flowers and leaves and gardens.  I recommend this one!

Alphonse Mucha Coloring Book

This is my favorite artist, so finding a coloring book with all his pictures in it made my day.  I highly recommend the Alphonse Mucha Coloring Book published by Pomegranate Press.  Dover also has a book of Mucha paintings to color, and that one is equally as nice, and a must-have for your coloring book library.  The paper in this book is thick, and markers do not bleed through.  And the back of the page is blank.  There are small pics on the front and back covers of the original paintings if you want to match the colors, as well.

Major cool site where you can print up patterned pictures to color.  Hours of fun!  Carlton Hibbert's Pattern Blog

Complicated Hearts

I forgot to put this one up for Valentine's Day, so here it is now, INTRICATE VALENTINES.  I love these books by Chuck Abraham. As the title says, they are very intricate, and if you've got good, sharp eyesight, these are a cinch.  I have a little trouble after staring at them for a while.  I think it's time for bifocals.  Oy.  Lots of variety in this book, though it is all the same shape, the inside designs are different, and the scallops on the edges of the hearts are different as well.  I recommend this one!

I've updated the Coloring Addict's List!  Most categories, including, Mandalas, Medical, Stained Glass, Geometrics, Animals, and more.

Seascapes

If you like sea life, then this is the coloring book for you!  SEASCAPES by Patricia Wynne is a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Incredible Insects

The Incredible Insects coloring book, with designs by Christopher Marley is a very nice book.   Thick, high quality paper, with designs on only one side of the paper, so markers can bleed through but they won't run the next page.  A variety of insects featured in groups and pairs and singles.  Lots of fun to color!
