10 Dec Do you colour?
Hello my name’s Claire Brewster and I like colouring books.
I thought I was the only one then I read this, this and apparently they are huge in France. So I’m not the only one. There are a huge selection of colouring books out there that are really exciting.
I love spending time colouring, it is very relaxing. I like being able to think about colour and shapes and how they work together. It is a very stimulating way to spend an evening. Have you ever given it a go? Would you?
I started with
My Wonderful World of Fashion by Nina Chakrabarti. I actually bought it for my niece first, when I was flicking through it I decided I needed one for myself.
I then got
Secret Garden by Johanna Basford.
My most recent purchase is
This is the most obvious adult one, the other 2 are aimed more generally. I am all set now, between the 3 of them I have plenty of material to colour in.
I’m strictly a felt tip pen girl. I’ve tried coloured pencils but they just don’t work for me. I need the vibrancy of felt tip pens. What do you use?
If you’ve got any recommendations please do share.
