Let\u2019s face it, there are hundreds, probably thousands (maybe more?), of adult coloring books at this point. I don\u2019t want to sound all hipster, but my mom and I were coloring in coloring books as adults when all you could do was poke around the children\u2019s book section for something to color. In fact, I have a Hello Kitty coloring book right now because if you like coloring, you never outgrow the classics. I\u2019ve reviewed adult coloring books before now and I will again. Prepare thyself.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The latest in my growing collection of adult coloring books is \u201cThe Witches\u2019 Almanac Coloring Book\u201d. I have to say I\u2019m happy to see more occult, pagan, and witch oriented coloring books popping up and \u201cThe Witches\u2019 Almanac Coloring Book\u201d doesn\u2019t disappoint. It has 7 different categories, although some are larger than others: woodcuts, constellations, the planets, creatures, Egyptians, Americas, and tarot. Woodcuts features a wonderful mix of woodcut illustrations. What is nice about them, and most of the images used in this coloring book, is that that feature bold black outlines with nice spaces to color. Sometimes these adult coloring books are so fixated on having non-childlike images that they forget someone is supposed to be coloring those pictures in! Anyway, you\u2019ve got nudity in here, doesn\u2019t get more adult than that! That\u2019s right, you can color Adam and Eve. In constellations you\u2019ll find the stars in the images of their namesakes. The planets shows the mythological beings that represent them. Creatures is filled with some surprising twists. Instead of more traditional mythological creatures, you get the crazy mish mash that are creature images from the Medieval period. The Egyptians section if loaded with the traditional hieroglyphic images that are immediately recognizable and perfect for coloring. The Americas has Calaveras, Mayan images, and other south of the border pictures. Lastly tarot offers all the classic tarot cards to color. There is a blank page at the very end to test colors before using them on your chosen picture.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Each section has a brief introduction offering some information about the images and some ideas of what to contemplate upon while coloring. Just in case concentrating on staying in the lines isn\u2019t enough for you!<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Witches\u2019 Almanac Coloring Book\u201d is a wonderful addition to the adult coloring book category. It\u2019s perfect for those looking for an eclectic coloring experience.<\/p>\n
