Thoughtful Colouring: An Adult Colouring Book with a Difference

Produktbeschreibung

'Thoughtful Colouring' is a combination journal/colouring book. Writer and author, Ann Jordan-Mills, became fascinated with the growing interest in colouring books and their effect upon the colourist. She has taken the act of colouring and moved it a step further - effectively into a meditation - which indeed it can be (consciously or unconsciously). Art Therapist Marti Faist said, "When someone is colouring, their mind and body are operating in a more integrated way. It's almost a meditative process." Thus in "Thoughtful Colouring", these processes are integrated, and opposite each design or mandala, the colourist will find an inspirational quotation provided to provoke thoughts and reflections. We suggest that you think about what the words say to you as you start to colour; there is space to record your thoughts below the quotation. All the pages are airy, with lots of white space to use for personal doodles and drawings to enhance your coloured design - or even more writing if you can't fit your words onto the lines we provide. There is a page of Hints to Begin, with tips on how to get started. This page includes such things as suggesting that you, the colourist, think about the mood that your colour palette will capture as you start to plan your colour scheme. For example, will it be cool blues, passionate reds, warm pink and mauve shades, or calm greens? It also cautions about the colour bleed that can happen with certain pens if the pages are not thick enough, and gives hints about how to avoid this. Ann hopes that you, the readers and colourists, will find the combinations inspirational, and be enchanted with your process and its outcome. At the same time she wants you to have fun, because that, indeed, is what this is all about!

Autorenporträt

Ann Jordan-Mills is a writer, author, and ghostwriter from Victoria, British Columbia. She has been writing in one genre or another her whole life, from being taught to write thank-you letters as a child, through educational and professional essays, letters, and documents during her career, and finally as a freelance creative for the past 8 years or so. Her professional and life experiences, together with her passions and skills, deliver a rich package of wisdom, creativity and writing expertise. As well as Ann's three shorter books on Amazon, in 2013/14 she was ghost editor of a massive narrative, 'Stories of the High River Flood'. In 2015, she was the ghost writer and publisher of the memoirs of Toronto long-time businesswoman, Rose Catalano ('This Head of Security Wears High Heels'), and now, considering she is supposed to be semi-retired, she has many plans to work on her own writings and production. For several years Computer Savvy Granny has been Ann's alter ego. Granny, as she is affectionately known, provides information and 'How To' experiences for adults and seniors coming to the Internet and computer later in life. Indeed seniors are not the only people who find her site useful, it's for everyone! Ann has led, and continues to lead a rich life both personally and professionally. Her family includes her husband, four adult children and six growing-up grandchildren, all far-flung between Canada, the US, and Amsterdam. Her greatest happiness is provided by the rare occasions when all her children come together for a family event.
