I love the idea of coloring books for adults, but I know that (sadly) I don't have the time to color in them. But I think they might be therapeutic for those who do, and perhaps educational at times (if you are coloring something you'd be more apt to remember it, such as a particular part of a flower).

Part of it is I don't want to somehow ruin the page, and another is that it's a huge drawing to me. I'm thinking the time commitment to completing one would be a little more than what I have time for, I'd rather read a book. Although, a pocket size version could be fun to try.

I don't think people realise how long they take, so now I'm MORE stressed, because I feel like I have to do all of them as they were gifts, but it takes hours to do a single picture in most because they're so detailed! So, yay for adult colouring books - but PLEASE just one!!<br /><br />http://coombecottagesandco.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/wordless-wednesday-failing-at-nailing.htmlEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021991072887408905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-83796052302637602892016-06-01T22:23:56.753-05:002016-06-01T22:23:56.753-05:00It baffles me, too.

And Ericka is right... since I am not artistically inclined, it allows me to express myself within the lines.<br /><br />I do think, however, the entire craze has gone WAY overboard. At this point, I am tired of seeing them in the bookstore, craft store, department store....

They say that it gives them a creative outlet, even though they are not artistically inclined.
