As I was browsing through CNN articles one night, I found a report on our most popular coloring books: "Secret Garden" and "Enchanted Forest" by Johanna Basford. And not just any coloring books, adult coloring books! They are on Amazon's bestselling books list, and are found to relieve stress by giving you a focused, quite time for your brain to hone in on motor-skills and creativity. The article reports: "Though they can be used by kids, these and other new coloring book titles are being marketed to stressed-out, work-addled adults who want the benefit from the quiet zen that a coloring session can bring." As you all know, we are all about having a zen experience here at The Urban Muse.
Since our clients seemed to love these books so much, we have expanded our coloring book collection to cover mandalas, fairies, structures, and more! We have also brought in a top of the line tin of coloring pencils so you can create your best work.
