Here are a few of my colorings so far. I actually colored so much last night my thumb is numb... I use mostly pens for these but use colored pencils every once in a while.
This is the one I did last night, using colored pencils which I don't often use.
And these are a few unfinished ones too.

wow holy crap kaydee those look amazing
but yeah i have one of those books.. wish it was more detailed though so probably next time i'll get a "harder" book imo
Haha, yeah those really fine detail ones take forever to finish but the outcome is always really beautiful, I want to frame a few of them when I am done and hang em everywhere cause they turn out really nice. <3

I heard about the adult coloring books...but I see nothing wrong with going to the dollar tree and getting a coloring book from there...I picked up a care bear and lalaloopsy coloring book..just don't get dollar tree crayons or colored pencils because the quality sucks..

I have a Lisa Frank coloring book from the dollar tree, I just don't like how thin and double sided the pages are, because even when you select the side you want to color and use pens you can see the lines from the other side on them so it sucks, and the paper rips waaaaay too easy. But I did see some nice coloring books in the section where magazines are at check-out at my local market so I think I might grab one of those too. I found my flower coloring book so I've been doing a few in that too and will post some pictures when I finish some.
This is a hobby I've only gotten into very recently. I thought it sounded kind of childish so put it off until I was at that point where anything that claimed it was anti-stress was worth a shot. I bought a really cheap book (cost me ?3 and the paper is super thin / designs aren't too complex) to give it a go and I've been sucked in. It shocks me how many hours a single piece can draw you in for.
I really want to get Lost Ocean or Animal Kingdom. Especially the former - I'm obsessed with fish. Going to wait until I've experimented a bit more with colouring styles before I invest in something more expensive.

Oh my goodness! The pictures are really pretty! I used to love coloring as a kid and my mom would always buy like tons of colouring books for me and we'd just spend time together coloring. I definately miss those days.

That's really neat! I don't think I've seen a textile based coloring book! I am like 100% behind this movement and I think everyone should color. And I agree, one of the reasons I like it so much is I do it at work is because it sucks up a ton of time, I work 10 hours shifts in the middle of the night so I mean, it's something to really get sucked into and eat my time.

I also bought my boyfriend one of those kinds of "adult" coloring books, it's actually really great.

ha- so i googled adult coloring books, and i love this comment by somebody: lonely_kitten
Well I'm not going to buy it if I can't preview the pages first!

There is a good one on amazon and it's mostly girls but it has like kinks in it which was cool I guess. Something for everyone in it!
It's strangely therapeutic. I've found it distances me enough from 'thinking' and neutralises anger to the point where what was annoying me seems insignificant.
Great way to kill time for you then!

Those are really pretty. I personally can't stand adult coloring books, there's too much detail and I get bored of it before I can even finish one picture haha. I was like that as a kid with regular ones too though, so I guess I just hate coloring books ahhhhh. ; v ;
