What is so special about our adult coloring journals? These are no ordinary journals! Cynthia Emerlye has create a unique product for anyone wanting to reflect upon their lives through writing in a way that is relaxing and creative. Her first journal, A Tangle of Flowers, contains twenty deliciously complex floral line drawings to
color, pithy
quotations to ponder, and both lined and blank pages for writing.
An aid to meditation: Each journal is designed to be a small
sanctuary where you can quietly reflect upon your life while filling
pages with color. They are designed to be an aid to meditation
- a way to slow oneself down, call upon one's creative muses, and
surrender into the Quiet Place to reflect upon life. To this purpose,
the designs in this book are deliberately complex to help you slow down
and pay attention. In the front of the book are directions and tips
about coloring materials and techniques, as well as ways to approach the
journal and questions to ask oneself when writing.
A stress-free way to be creative: Free from the pressure of having to test one's
drawing ability, coloring can be a deeply relaxing and meditative
activity, enjoyed by anyone at any age. Enjoy yourself. Take your time
coloring the deliciously complex floral images. Sit quietly and reflect
upon the quotations. Write your heart's desires. Breathe fully and
relax into this simple, creative activity and bring yourself to a quiet
state of mind.
STAY TUNED! More coloring journals to come! Something exciting is in the works! This first coloring journal has been so successful that Cynthia is now planning a series of journals in a new format! Each new journal will continue the original concept of writing pages and coloring pages, sprinkled with quotations to ponder. Each new journal will have a specific theme to ponder with a series of questions to ask oneself when writing. (These questions are not compulsory. They are guides to start you thinking. You may write whatever your heart signals you to explore.)
The first book will be re-worked into the new format so that it fits into the series. "A Tangle of Flowers" invites you to explore simplicity and complexity. What is tangled up in your life that needs to be released? What bonds need more strengthening.... The next journal will feature drawings of Edibles along with prompts to ponder the ways in which you do or do not nourish yourself.
The new format: It will always be important to be able to easily color in these journals so we will continue with a lay-flat binding. The new format will not be spiral bound but will feature a more traditional-looking book binding with a spine. Don't be fooled, however. These will have an Ottabind (or Lay-Flat) cover which will be both flexible and strong.
