Paisley Patterns Coloring Book - Calming Coloring Books For Adults

Purchased this adult coloring book (Kindle download edition) to check if we want to purchase this book & to test out the multiple download pages. We have checked out many of the these type of coloring books & these compare better than most for design & challenge to color; which is what we are looking for in a coloring art project. This book is unique in the patterns, but some of the patterns seem to be slightly similar to others in the same book.We also love that you can download certain pages to try out before you purchase any coloring book from Coloring Therapists. The pages to download are a mixture of what they have to offer from 6 different books. Plus we like that we can print them on thicker paper to color on; we use art paper or bright cardstock to make the colors pop. This bonus makes it nicer all around, to be able to use quality color pencils on quality art paper, to get a nicer finished art project. We hang our completed pictures right next to our niece's projects on the frig; in one of those nice frames that holds 30-40 pages for display.We started coloring a few years ago with our niece & it made us feel so relaxed, that we checked into adult color books, now they seem to be very popular & easier to find. Another nice thing in this book, is in foreword it goes over the benefits & importance of coloring. It also explains that coloring is good for Alzheimer's & Dementia and helps with stress & anxiety; all of which we found very interesting.Pros:Easy to download onto our KindleGreat as a preview, before you make a purchaseUnique & complex patterns to color, in most of the pictures& Includes bonus download pages to test; which we already have used, printed & colored a few different pages.Cons:Download samples are not from this book, but there are 6 different books to print pages from. Plus you cannot print them from your Kindle, which seems odd.& Price is decent, but could be better...maybe they could make a larger book or bundle a few books to help lower the overall cost.Overall we really like this adult coloring book (Kindle download edition) and would recommend this to anyone looking to check out the artwork before buying the paperback book. This book gave us a preview and now since we like this book, we will probably buy the actual coloring book since we cannot print out each page. Just a quick side note...we thought our niece would enjoy doing this book with us, but found out it is not for most children of a younger age; since they might become frustrated with the thin & tight coloring areas. We would have given this a 4-star to 4.5-star rating for the cons, but as a sample to check out & for the included downloads to try, we had to give this a 5-star rating.Disclosure: This product was received for free to be evaluated, tested & reviewed; however this in no way influences our process in leaving product feedback ratings. We as well as most other buyers, rely heavily on reviews posted by other shoppers; and feel everyone should leave honest, detailed & well written reviews no matter what.

This is a pretty good e book. I find that some e books are really poorly done, but this is a good one. I enjoyed looking through the pages. The images are good quality and it was easy to view from my device using kindle.Adult coloring books have become very popular the last couple of years. I have been interested in trying them out. You just have to use the link provided to be able to print out the pages you would like to color.This e book isn't huge, but there is a nice variety of coloring pages. This author also has many different styles and themes available, so if this isn't quite what you are after you can find something else that you might like better.They state " EBOOK edition of this book is an ART BOOK and not used for coloring on the device. The eBook is a preview providing useful content on the benefits of coloring for both children and adults, also showing the brilliant designs available in the physical copy of the book. A BONUS link in the book lets you download books with high quality coloring book PDF pages with dozens of illustrations that readers can PRINT. The download is optional, it is not the main function or purpose of this ebook - PRINT REPLICA. Are you looking for DIY inspiration that you can use to improve your home interiors? Then grab a coloring book and color! Coloring helps free your mind from the bounds of repetitive thinking. It is a powerful exercise that will help you come up with creative ideas. But if you really like the artwork you've done, you can also rip off the page and hang it up in a frame!"I received this product at a discounted rate in exchange for a honest review of the product.

Just a note, the eBook is solely a preview of the 62 page paper book available for purchase, and it is clearly stated as so in the product description. I purchased and downloaded it to my Kindle which took only seconds. I really appreciate the aspect of being able to "preview before I buy" as I have purchased many adult coloring books online and have not always been pleased with the designs. The sample mystical designs included with this eBook are absolutely stunning. The Mystical designs range from simpler to more elaborate in detail which makes it great for any age, skill, or amount of time you wish to spend coloring. I have attached a few of the sample images from this book for you to view the range of designs that it includes.I really enjoy this series of coloring books. There are several coloring books in the series by Coloring Therapists. Each coloring book has a different theme which makes it easy to find a book that will interest almost anyone of any age that enjoys coloring. All of the books in the series have designs that are similar in their range of complexity, so basically if you like one of the books, odds are you will like others as well. You can find other books in this series of coloring books by searching for "COLORING THERAPIST", or feel free to check out all of my other reviews to see what each book contains with sample photos included.At the beginning of the book there is a really nice informative section about Art Therapy and its health benefits. It lists several of the types of issues that it can be helpful for such as Dementia and Alzheimer's, PTSD, blood pressure, focus and meditation, and to reduce anxiety. I personally enjoy Art Therapy Coloring as a nighttime activity and to reduce anxiety. Many people including myself tend to spend many hours especially before bed on our smartphones and tablets and are being exposed to the light emitted by them, which can disrupt our circadian rhythms and a reduction of melatonin in the body both of which can contribute to sleep problems. I have found this very soothing and no longer have sleep issues. My teenage daughter also enjoys this and uses her devices much less often. I also enjoy it for the pure fun of it as I once did in my childhood. Another great thing about coloring is that it is somewhat inexpensive and you can choose to use colored pencils, crayons, markers, gel pens, etc.Included in the eBook is a bonus link to "ijustread.it" which allows you to access tons of free printable designs in pdf format by simply entering your email address to sign up. If you decide it is not for you then you can simply unsubscribe, either way a freebie and nothing to lose! If you are using this preview as intended you will find it a perfect way to decide for yourself if you wish to purchase the paper book or not. I highly recommend it!!Disclaimer: I received this item at a discount or for free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

This is a review of the Paisley Patterns Coloring Book - Calming Coloring Books For Adults (Paisley Patterns and Art Book Series)Please note up front this is the Kindle book and not the real paper version!The idea of this Kindle book is to provide you with a preview of the designs available in the real paper book.

They are beautiful and intricate and are not suitable for young children.I love adult colouring books as they relax me, help me concentrate, reduce stress and tension, increase my happiness and allow me to meditate.

Paisley Patterns Coloring Book - Calming Coloring Books For adultsThese are the kindle versions, which are incredibly easy to download, just one click on the PC and its sent straight to my kindle cloud reader as part of my prime service.I am a big fan of colouring as a past time and to destress so when I saw these, I'll be honest I wondered how on earth they were going to pull it off.The book actually contains information about why colouring is good for you and how it can help stress and other issues. Then in the back it has 10 + images you can look at. I use Kindle on my iphone so could not do anything with them, but I did screen shot them so could print them. They do however come out pretty small so not perfect for colouring. wonderful pictures but then realised these were sample pictures and there were 6 books on the website to download.However the designs are really fun, detailed and look very pretty.I would spend a long time trying to rest, trying to switch off and then trying to sleep. I have tried everything from reading to listening to podcasts, watching the TV but I still couldn't quite get my mind off the day, couldn't find a way to stop thinking and then I started doing these books.These books are a complete stress tranquilliser, after doing this for a half hour I was completely relaxed and able to lie down and drift off, in fact it has gotten to the point i look forward to doing these of an evening now and whats better is my son has seen me doing these and will often sit quietly next to me doing his own colouring.This author of this book should be recognised and congratulated for their creativity and the quality of the illustrations, not to mention how effectively they keep any promise to keep you calm, focused, and stress-free zone. Yet again, the author of the book allows the pictures to be downloaded to be used at my convenience so you can refer back to your completed artwork. I found that reviewing my completed artwork can be just as satisfying and rewarding as working on my other pictures.Even though I recived a discount on this product i have tested it and gave my review on the full price of this item to give the best review i could as if you was paying full value of this product.Hope my review has been good enough in giving you a complete understanding of how this product is and helps you make your mind up when deciding if to order it or not.Disclaimer - I received this product at a discounted rate or free for review purposes however this does not alter my view in any way as this is my very own honest and unbiased opinion!! I hope this may help with any questions in the futureLike many people on Amazon, I rely heavily on customer reviews being honest and helpful which is exactly what I have tried to achieve with my review. I try review items I already need or have a strong interest in so in order I can provide a review based on a real genuine trial so my opinions and experiences with the product are an actual true reflection of my experience with the itemPlease give this review a like if you find it helpful, thank you for reading and have a good day.

Please note, this review is based on the Kindle edition of this title. As explained in the product description, only the print version allows colouring - there is no facility to "colour in" Kindle books so if you purchase this (which was free at the time I wrote this), you can enjoy the art but not interact with it. Think of it as a way of trialling the book before deciding whether to commit to purchasing the paper version. If you do want to have a go at colouring in, there is a link to download free printable PDFs from a range of Coloring Therapist titles. I was impressed with the sheer number of images included in the sample collection.The book starts with a few pages of introduction about the recent adult colouring craze, some of the theories around its supposed health benefits in the control of dementia, blood pressure, anxiety and the maintenance of focus and attention. It explains what happens to the brain and body when we colour, and suggests colouring as an ideal bedtime relaxation activity instead of staring at the bright screen of our TVs, phones and tablets which can disrupt our sleep patterns.The art mostly consists of abstract, floral-inspired mandala-type designs rather than real flowers, indicating that they have been specially drawn to be successfully coloured.The artwork looks good on my Kindle Paperwhite's screen, and also on my iPhone in the Kindle app, although I noticed that the drawings didn't fill the whole screen, just the top two thirds with a blank border around the outside. It would be good if the seller could include a picture of the inside of the physical book, but as far as I can see from the free downloadable PDFs, the pictures fill the whole page with only a couple of centimetres of margin around the outside, as the pages are square rather than rectangular.Finally some tips on printing the free sample PDFs - I found that printing the pages from Adobe Reader on A4 paper at 105% scale reduced the left and right margins to a minimum - also if you are not printing double sided, make sure you use Adobe's "print odd pages only" option if you don't want the "bleed through" pages.Once again, this review is for the Kindle edition, which I received for free in exchange for sharing my opinions in this honest review.

Please note, I am reviewing the E-book and not the print version.Adult colouring books are a great way of stress relief. Having this kind of book in electronic version will help give you an idea of all the different patterns and designs you can get in print. A lot are also just really nice to look at, even if not coloured in.Using adult colouring books is not art therapy, but can help you relax, reduce stress and also gives you something enjoyable to do.There great fun and a complete stress reliever.Please note that you won’t be able to colour the pictures on your device, you will need to print them, but it is worth it, especially when you see them completed.The whole collection is fabulous. I now have a large handful of these books, in print and on my kindle and all are just as good as each other.These are the kindle versions, which are incredibly easy to download, just one click on the PC and its sent straight to my kindle, as simple as that.Over the last few years my mental health has suffered a lot, due to stress, depression and anxiety, I have found that these books both e-book and print edition help to relieve some of the symptoms and take my mind off of everything.This book includes so many beautiful illustrations and intricate designs, it is nice to be able to pick and chose the ones you want to do then just print of those ones rather than printing the lot and not doing some of them.Colouring has been shown to have stress-reducing benefits. The reason? Colouring is said to calm the part of the brain related to the fear/stress response while stimulating the parts of the brain responsible for creativity and logic. I have also noticed that when I am colouring I am not thinking about any negative things, I am only thinking about which bit to do next.I have found that these books also help me socially, as it gives me a topic to talk about, and to talk to others who also use these books as a relaxing activity.Colouring is not just an activity for keeping kids busy, now these adult colouring books are out, they are getting more and more popular. colouring books and colouring pages for adults are also extremely therapeutic.There is a lot of reasons to why I like these colouring books, and they are:1. Colouring pages helps me to feel less stressed.2. Colouring activities gives me something to do.3. Colouring pages is calming and a peaceful activity.For conclusion I am going to say that this book is just awesome, it contains excellent quality patterns/templates/drawings. I would definitely recommend these series books to anyone who also loves colouring the same way as I do.Disclaimer: I received this product at a discount in return for giving an honest and unbiased review.
