Colouring Books for adults are a hit in Australia and throughout the world!

Perhaps you’ve heard about the neuroscientific celebration breaking out across the globe? Colouring books for adults have finally broken the pretentious I’m-to-old-for-that-nonsense barrier and staked their rightful claim as not just soothingly therapeutic but plain ol’ fun! Colouring books are seen as not just okay for adults but one of the healthiest activities we can indulge in. The world is getting smarter as they discover how important art can be for balance and health. Anyone can profit from the rejuvenating benefits of colouring in. Our world is so fast now. We all need to take more time to unwind.

Our savvy men are jumping on board too – good on them! Lord knows, we all need more balance in this frenzied world of ours! Kids have the science down pat but it took us longer to catch on.

For years I have been advocating how meditative drawing, doodling or simplified creativity play, encouraging others to PLEASE have a go and test for pleasure! I stress not to get trapped in performance based creativity and simply PLAY!

So what did I do about it?

I created an exciting new colouring book that is more than its pretty seahorse face. Positively Quote Colouring Books are full of intricate illustrations AND affirming and encouraging quotes and phrases (some famous and borrowed and some of my own). I have made every effort to give you variety over the pages as well. And…it is printed in soft sepia lines for an authentic artistic finish.

For the perfectionist and anxious, I have ensured there are 2 of each illustration for practicing. You can chill out even more. If you make a mistake or want to try a couple of colour combinations it allows for a second chance. Positively Quote Colouring Books will be printed on one side so if you want to frame the affirming reminders you won’t be sacrificing all the work you did on the back.

People have shared with me some of the benefits of colouring books for adults. They are great aids for:

• Dementia
• Anxiety and depression
• Fear of flying
• stroke rehabilitation
• insomnia
• Stress and relaxation
• Pain relief (distraction)
• group, family or team bonding
• loneliness

I have launched a Facebook page and a pre-order special. I haven’t had a chance to post here because the orders took off like crazy. It has been so busy! People are snapping up the pre-order copies super-fast. My distributor for retail, Dennis Jones has snapped up a large part of my print run already. The ring of Christmas gifts is in the air.

Here are a few photos to demonstrate what is happening. It will be published in October but who knows – it may be sold out before then!

If you want to reserve copies go grab them now!
