I have not seen t...Oh colouring books for adults! <br /><br />I have not seen them since I was 12 (1987). I first found one in the house of one of my mum's friend. The book had fashion ranging from 1865 until 1890 (from Paris, The House of Worth mainly). That's why I discovered those beautiful bustle dresses, petit coats, hats, etc. About your questions:<br /><br />1. Have you tried them? <br /><br />Yes, the book mentioned above back in 1987.<br /><br />2. Do you like them? <br /><br />I absolutely loved it. Ok a 12 years old girl is not an "adult" per se but old enough not to be playing colouring books. Most of the girls of my class at that age began to be more interested in boys than in old colouring fashion books from the Victorian Era.<br /><br />3. Do you think that they're a passing fad or have they established themselves as category of crafting in their own right?<br /><br />Sadly in my country they are a passing fad at least the colouring books for adults. I never saw one again :-(<br /><br />I could not take the old colouring fashion book from my mum's friend. But every time we were around for a visit I used to ask for the book and copied several designs to be coloured at home.<br /><br />This post was kind of a delight to discover they still exist.<br />They are wonderful.<br /><br />Have a great week!<br />Eva (from Luxembourg / Germany)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-74533899351464877882016-03-31T03:59:19.898-07:002016-03-31T03:59:19.898-07:00i love it, i had my first adult colouring book for...i love it, i had my first adult colouring book for christmas and love it. love the detail and finding it a lovely way to relax and unwindsharon martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02623612530793204088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-65019783492377750852016-03-30T15:39:52.840-07:002016-03-30T15:39:52.840-07:00I have a couple of adult colouring books and reall...I have a couple of adult colouring books and really enjoy them.

Coloring is so relaxing... I have anxiety and depression issues and I think coloring has helped me more than any medication or doctor visit ever has. Plus, being part of the coloring community has lead me to a whole new world of art mediums and techniques that I probably never would have tried otherwise.

Very relaxing! And years ago, before adult coloring was a thing, my friend's late mother got really into coloring. She had many health issues and found coloring to be satisfying in a low-key, stress-free way. I found myself hunting around for elaborate coloring books to bring her, and she enjoyed the hobby until she passed away. This huge trend always makes me think of her, and how she'd be shocked and amused to find herself ahead of the curve on a new trend.

I would LOVE to win the fifties book only, then I would gladly donate the two other books to another lucky second winner. I think the adult colouring books have become so popular because of the relaxing/unstressing, it is good for every one - also you, dear. :)SANNEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973437247117000140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-28801582749158742972016-03-29T05:47:37.702-07:002016-03-29T05:47:37.702-07:00I know a few people who are into adult colouring, ...I know a few people who are into adult colouring, but I haven't had a chance to try it myself.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03148828739706609132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-40083562792966756342016-03-29T05:15:55.700-07:002016-03-29T05:15:55.700-07:00I LOVE adult coloring books <3I LOVE adult coloring books <3 vintageprihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02916949553065753495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-80650432963520758792016-03-28T23:47:47.710-07:002016-03-28T23:47:47.710-07:00I've been thinking of purchasing an adult colo...I've been thinking of purchasing an adult colouring book but none of the ones I've seen in the shops have appealed to me.

I'm a nanny so I do a fair bit of coloring with the kids I watch, and I do find it can be very relaxing. I've been gifted a few adult coloring books, but haven't actually colored in them at all. These are gorgeous though, and would definitely get me busting out the crayons/colored pencils in my off hours.MerMartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10665167550342123043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-92135079267673832262016-03-28T06:23:40.581-07:002016-03-28T06:23:40.581-07:00I enjoy all the adult coloring booking.

I absolutely love vintage fashions and even had a set of Pioneer Paper Dolls for my daughters when they were young. I also made a "Mennonite style" set for them to play with. It would be a delight to color in these books. Perhaps adult coloring will stay the same for the next ten years or so, or maybe it will evolve into something even better.

I've had to spend a lot of time recovering from several orthopaedic procedures the past few years, I still have a couple to go through. I don't know what I would have done without my coloring books. I remember before they came along I could find peace even by coloring with my kids. But, nowadays, the beauty and fascinating themes they come out with are amazing! History, art, nature, cultural, anything you can imagine! I love the diversity of the ones you are giving away! I would love to have them! Barbara Hornenoreply@blogger.com
