One of my current side hustle projects is to make a coloring book of floral art. I’m not talking about the intricate mandala-style books, where one missed paisley is a stress-induced scramble to cover it up. I want nice big patches of petals, or rosy cheeks for someone to puddle watercolors on top of. Here’s a rough draft of a page of mine:
In researching coloring books for adults, though, I did manage to find some that I’d actually sit down and tinker with:
Cacti, succuli, and twilight gardens!
Succulents Portable Adult Coloring Book (31 stress-relieving designs) (Studio)
Twilight Garden Coloring Book: Published in Sweden as “Blomstermandala” (Gsp- Trade)
Celebrities and silly!
Colour Me Good Tom Hiddleston
And…of COURSE there’s a Ryan Gosling version…

Shoot. We live in Missouri*. We don’t need a coloring book to see this scene every day. But in case you are in a more cosmopolitan scene and lack the visual diversity that is a WalMart on a Saturday night, there is this:

Do you color? Yay or nay? Does it really help with de-stressing? We’d love to hear!
