Whimsy 365: Day 28
Some days I know exactly what I want to sketch and other days I ponder and ponder and….nothing. That’s what happened today so I just started with a single flower, then a leaf, then another flower….I just kept going and going until the page was filled.
I enjoyed the process. As I kept going, I was thinking of where to place each leaf and flower to make the overall pattern interesting.
I posted a thumbnail of this sketch on Facebook and my hubby commented, “Looks like that could be a coloring book”. My friend, Teresa, commented, “Adult coloring books are all the rage right now, Teresa….maybe a new venture to you!”
More and more comments came in about me creating an adult coloring book. The funny thing is about three years ago I flirted with the idea of creating a coloring book using my gigantic collection of line art I’ve drawn over the past 20 years. I could seriously make 50 coloring books with all the art I have on file.
However, at the time, I was so busy with other aspects of my business the idea was put on the back burner.
With the current surge of adult coloring books on the market today, the idea of creating my own has surfaced again. At first, I was thinking I missed the boat and it may only be a trend but I don’t think so. From what I understand, people find coloring therapeutic and they purchase more than one coloring book so they have different books to choose from when the mood strikes.
Needless to say, I am taking the bull by the horns and I will be creating my very own coloring book. I will keep you posted as to how it’s coming along.
What sort of images from my storehouse of art would you like to color? Angels, teddy bears, florals, Santas/snowmen, Halloween…..leave a comment below and let me know your thoughts.
Blessings,
Teresa

I love this design and think that all of your designs together would make a great coloring book. some of the books that are out are too detailed for my taste. this , and your other designs, look just right.
Thank you Terry. I have a survey going on right now to help me decide what theme to make my first coloring book. I would love your input. It can be found at http://www.facebook.com/teresakogut

I would love to find a folk art coloring book. Seasonal designs. I love Halloween, fall, snowmen, Santa, other prim images of flowers, starts, flowers. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! I can’t wait to see what you create!
Hi Kristi,
Once I get my first coloring book published, more will come quickly afterwards. It’s finding the right publisher that will be the big challenge. Thank you for your support.
