Claire and I became great friends through my colouring group, and before the blog, and all the reviewing, she had told me about her colouring pages she was illustrating: Alice In Wonderland! I just about died, because I LOVE Alice and everything about wonderland and its curiosities. I told her I would be her first customer once they went live because just from seeing previews, I knew I had to have them. After lots of encouraging and being so proud of what she accomplished, the day came for her to open her Etsy shop and release her baby in to the world. I was touched when Claire gifted me Alice in Doodleland because I had "cheered her on" throughout the process. What can I say! When I see potential, I let the person know that they've really got something worth showing to EVERYONE! And you know what they say of curious minds! I most definitely went MAD over these colouring pages!

Translated to A Wonderful World (for all my English speaking followers), Masja brings us a gorgeous, gold embellished gem of a colouring. One of the most popular colouring books in Holland, her book has sold more than 4,500 copies in just 4 weeks since her book made its debut on Easter, which is astonishing considering how small her country is! Could you imagine how well it would do if it was available elsewhere?! If it wasn't for my friend Layla in my colouring group, who lives in the Netherlands, I never would've been introduced to this beauty. So here I am, sharing in Masja's wish for the rest of the world to see Mijn wonderlijke wereld! Sam Lindup has brought something very unique to the colouring table. It's off the wall, fun, crude, literal, and just pure awesomeness. The Colouring Mind is definitely NOT for kids though. Is anyone's mind safe from kids? It's fine detail and bizarre doodles are totally adult rated (trust me, just look closely HA!) This book is such a different ball game and breath of fresh air and I'm absolutely privileged to be spreading the word about this brilliant book state side! OwlTangledUp, Cheryl Vogel's Etsy shop, brings you a wonderful colouring book filled with snowmen, pumpkins, owls, summer flowers and more! Tangled Things to Color can only be described as all four seasons coming together in one book. It's fantastic! On a warm sunny day, colour a hippo bathing in a pool of water. Want to get in the Christmas spirit? Colour a Scottie dog anxiously waiting by the tree for Santa! And so much more! Dreamscapes isn't your typical scenery and nature colouring book. Dover has taken the predictable and the ordinary, and turned it into contemporary and abstract art! Swirling ocean waves cascading around a boat, wooded hills, snowy peaks, fish, and even a flower hidden face; oh, the hours of colouring to be had in this book! Dover truly has captured the attention of our imaginations, inviting us to come outside of our colour palette comfort zones and join the wild side. The skies are screaming to be coloured ANYTHING but blue in this Creative Haven book! |
The "Colorista"I'm Kourtney, and I'm a mother of two litle girls and the wife of a Navy sailor. I review colouring books and products for publishers and art supply companies to give my Coloristas a guide to buying and growing their collections. And of course I love to colour any chance I get (mostly when the kids are asleep!)
