Beskrivning

Enjoy the art of colouring with this intricate colouring book featuring imaginative designs by Samarra Khaja. These illustrations, printed on high-quality, heavyweight paper, are ideal for framing and perfectly suited to colouring with coloured pencils, fine tip markers, and even watercolours. Made for imaginations that never grew up, her designs create a wacky world of stories, where outdated technology manuals and robot romance novels sit side by side on the bookshelf with gardening books and science labmanuals. Colouring even a few minutes a day can help you relieve stress and infuse much-need creativity into your busy life!

This is the first ever colouring book that has made me smile. You really will be cheered up by this book. Colouring by adults and children is having a huge revival. At last adults have realised it isn't just for children and colouring can really add something to your life. By colouring you relax and find meditation with the ease as you colour. All the stresses of the day float away as you spend the time creating something beautiful. With this book you also get fun and something to smile and laugh at. Using different colours you can make the designs even funnier and make more people laugh. I love using the pages I have coloured for many different things. The really special ones are framed & hung or given to friends and family as gifts. With each colouring page you have a blank backso that the design doesn't get muddied with anything on the back. Not only that each page is perforated where it is attached to the book. This means they are easy to remove from the book. Why not use the designs to decorate a journal or how about a beautiful box. The book is full of many different pictures with many different themes and designs.You have everything from animals to buildings, to shapes.You can either colour the designs yourself or you can give the book as a gift. Why not join it with coloured pencils, pens or felt-tips. If you have a friend or family member that doesn't spend enough relaxing this would really be a brilliant gift. I love the idea of colouring all the pages and leaving it on the coffee table for everyone to smile at and enjoy. Brilliant fun and great for relaxation.
