The Time Garden by Daria Song - Adult Coloring Book Review

The Time Garden by Daria Song is available through Random House
and also available on Amazon!

You don't need me to tell you that adult coloring books are big right now.  From Mandalas to Zentangles and more, grown ups are grabbing these detailed images to color as a form of relaxation and stress relief.

If you want a little bit more than a soothing coloring experience, then you might want to check out the adult coloring book called The Time Garden by Korean artist Daria Song.

More than just beautiful pictures, Song decided to have her adult coloring book tell a magical story.  It is the story of a young girl who climbs into her fathers cuckoo clock, and finds herself in a fantastical world.

It is a story told in images, with just a very few words to get your imagination primed.

The young girl in the pictures is chasing a red-haired fairy through a fantasy world, much like Alice chased the White Rabbit through wonderland.

I do not use anything except color pencils in my adult coloring books, but several amazon reviewers stated that you can use gel pens and some markers without bleeding through the pages.  Other markers did bleed though, according to the reviewers, so if you use markers in your coloring books I suggest you test them for bleeding first!

The Time Garden is so well loved that a sequel has been made.  You heard me right, there is a sequel for a coloring book!  It is called The Time Chamber

The artist, Daria Song, has a masters degree in fiber arts, but  as you can tell from the fine detail in The Time Garden's rich and beautiful illustrations, she is not lacking in illustration talent either!

When you purchase The Time Garden and The Time Chamber, or any other adult coloring book, you're going to want to toss in some good coloring pencils, like this highly rated Studio Series Colored Pencil Set of 30.
