Coloring Book for Adults Philippines

I never realized a single birthday present will go a long way and even a Facebook Group. It all started when I gave a colleague a birthday gift - coloring book for adult. She's a type of girl who like to draw, do lettering and doodles, and its a must, not just for pastime.

So I gave her Mosaic Masterpieces by Creative Haven that was on the window of a bookstore. Lucky find I guess.. One by one, everyone is buying their own book and coloring stuff. People become busy looking for inspiration and pictures from the internet.

Then, we started looking forward on going to the park near our office to color during coffee breaks. And staying to color in pantry and canteen when its raining..

We are also going too far, googling, spying and following those Coloring Book Authors like Kerby Rosanes, Johanna Basford, Valentina Harper-Ramos, Thaneeya McArdle, Jim Gogarty and Jaelle Andrada Albaniel to name a few.. And this insane idea of setting-up Coloring Book for Adults in Philippines Facebook Group.

Of course, being a colorist, we need to attend the First National Coloring Book Day this August 2, 2015. Me and my friends are now thinking and planning activities since this will be the first ever in the Philippines and World. We would like to throw a party but that would not be possible for now.

Everyone is invited and we will keep you posted when and where!

The Coloring Books for Adults - Philippines was inspired by a bigger group called by the same name. We've just started last week and we already have 200+ active members and counting. 

This coming August 2, 2015, we are going to be celebrating the first ever National Coloring Book Day all over the world and we are taking part of it here in Manila. We will be showcasing some of our local amateur colorists' works and so much more. 

We are already in discussion with prime organizer Dover Publishing makers of Adult Coloring Books, which most of the colorists buy and use, for the party program and we might also feature some works from our world-renowned member Jim Gogarty the creator of The Mandala Coloring Books and founder of iHeartMandalas.com.

I would love to discuss more about our plans for the event with you. Thank you very much for your time and more power to you guys! Have a wonderful day!
