The Time Chamber
I have heard about the craze of these adult coloring books
and was intrigued by them and wanted to get my hands on one. I have never had an
adult coloring book and wanted to see what all the hype was about. When I
received the book I began to flip through all the beautifully drawn pictures. Every
page is filed with gorgeous detailed pictures. And it’s not just your average
coloring book; this coloring book has a story that goes along with it. Not
every page has words on it, only a few, but nevertheless, it still follows a
little red headed fairy that journey’s out to the unknown.
I thought it was very cute to see a story sort of
progressing throughout the book and added a cute touch, so it wasn’t just
pictures on a page. I had read many
people that had tried these coloring books said it helped relieve their stress.
In some ways I can see that, but I have to be honest and say I thought it
induced stress for me. Each picture is very detailed and requires immense
amounts of patience to neatly color with in the lines. I found myself stressing
about staying with in the lines and wanting to quickly get it done. I was also
coloring the same thing repeatedly and it became annoying and I would go as
fast as I could to get every single leaf colored! So I will say that you will
not finish a page in ten minutes, it will take you a considerable amount of
time to finish because the amount of detail on each page.
But I do think this is an excellent gift idea for someone
that likes to be creative and color and has more patience then me. If you have
the time to sit down for a couple hours and color, good for you. But as for me
I probably won’t purchase another adult coloring book. Not that it’s a stupid
or bad idea. It’s just not for me.
I received this book from Blogging for Books.
