Book By Its Cover

There are some new titles from Rosie Flo out that I had to share. If you missed part one where I posted about some of the other titles- check it out here. These coloring books are super unique and creative because the whole scene isn’t there for your child to just color. You have to fill in arms, legs, heads and whatever else you want. In Rosie Flo’s Night-time coloring book all of the pages are black. The outfits of the characters are drawn in white lines. The characters are also doing night-time activities- camping, watching 3-d movies, having sleep-over pillow fights. For this coloring book you use colored pencils, gel pens or paints on the black paper. And for the boys (or girls) Johnny Joe has a new Time Travel coloring book. Each spread is from a different period in history- you are coloring in knights in full armor, vikings on a ship and some guys from the future zooming around with jet packs. I love seeing the results of colored in pages. Recently Rosie Flo hosted a coloring compettion through the Uk’s Guardian newspaper judged by Rosie Flo’s creator Roz Streeten and Sara Fanelli. The winning entries were adorable- check them out right here. Rosie Flo also collaborated with Magazine House of Japan and had young adults color in a page. It’s amazing to see all the enries lined up and the creativity that went into each one to make it drastically different from the next. Check those out here. Find out how to get your own Rosie Flo’s or Johnny Joe’s coloring books right here.

I love all the “afters” especially the one with a giant pigeon girl with an egg pattern skirt!

Wow, I love these… especially the nighttime ones… brings back memories of when mum got me some black paper and white pencils (I remember thinking it was all very wrong until I started drawing and fell in love!). Will have to chase these up…
Think this is my first “de-lurk”, but LOVE your blog, thanks x
