Adult coloring is one of the hottest crazes going on right now in the arts and crafts industry. Sitting down to color is relaxing and it’s a great way to explore your own creativity. In addition, it’s a hobby that is 100% portable and can …
Three years ago I jumped on the adult coloring book bandwagon as a means to relax, reduce stress and to explore my creativity. One of the things I love about this particular hobby is that it’s affordable and 100% portable. Since we travel a lot, it’s a hobby that I can take along with me.
Recently I received a complimentary adult coloring book called You Can Save The Earth and I’m excited to tell you about it today.
Title: You Can Save The Earth
Written By: Sean K. Smith
Illustrated By: Leighanna Hoyle
ISBN: 978-1-57826-672-2
Publisher: Hatherleigh
Synopsis: This coloring book is your path to environmental inspiration and sustainable stewardship of our beautiful planet. Each illustration highlights the best of what Earth has to offer and includes thought-provoking quotes, exercises, and affirmations on why and how you can incorporate sustainable strategies in your daily life.
My Thoughts: This is a soft-cover adult coloring book for environmental awareness, conservation and sustainability. There are 92 total pages with some of the containing wordage only with the other pages containing the pretty illustrated designs for you to color.
One of my favorite pages in the book is one that has a flower garden illustration with the quote “All that we did, all that we said or sang must come from contact with the soil.” The quote is by William Butler Yeats. This particular illustration is just beautiful and I love the quote that they picked to go along with it.
Since I’m a beach & sea lover, I also love pages 72-73 which features illustrations of seahorses along with tip #5 which is to Recycle, Reuse and Repair. A very important message that we all need to do more of!
Unlike other adult coloring books where you just sit down and color-in the designs, this one has some important earth-friendly tips, quotes and messages sprinkled throughout the pages. Very cool!

If you’ve been reading this blog for the past 2 years, you’ll already know that I enjoy adult coloring books and have collected quite a few of them over the past couple of years. I enjoy sitting down a few evenings every week and coloring…it helps me to relax and de-stress after a long day.
Recently I received a complimentary adult coloring book titled: Norman Rockwell Classics – from The Saturday Evening Post. This adult coloring book has over 30 different Normal Rockwell cover designs for you to color.
ISBN: 978-0486814353
Synopsis: Thirty-one illustrations by Norman Rockwell appear in all their heartwarming glory in this classic & collectible coloring book. Handpicked from the hundreds of covers that the American legend created for The Saturday Evening Post, these ready-to-color pictures recapture the bliss of bygone days.
Each design in this soft-cover coloring book is one-sided…meaning that the backside of the page is blank. You don’t have to worry about your colors or preferred coloring medium bleeding through the pages. Plus, the designs are printed on a nice-weight paper. You can use crayons, markers, gel ink pens, chalks, etc. to color in the designs.
In the example page that I personally colored (featured in this blog post), I used metallic (colors) gel ink pens that I reviewed & featured on this blog before. If you like what you see, you can find my original post on metallic gel ink pens to learn more about them.

This adult coloring book was specially designed for experienced colorists from Creative Haven. They have some fabulous adult coloring books that offer an escape to a world of inspiration and artistic fulfillment. Each page in this particular book has a perforated edge, so that you can easily pull it out of the book for coloring. I really appreciate the perforated edge!
Since I’m a huge fan of Norman Rockwell’s work…I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this adult coloring book! Each design is printed on quality paper, so you don’t have to worry about colors bleeding through or the paper tearing while you’re working on your artwork design. I love how detailed each image is and trust me, you’ll be pretty impressed too!
