A long time in coming, it with great pleasure that I can finally announce the release of Flowery Dreams! I’ve been wanting to complete a trio of ‘Dreams’ books since publishing Carousel Dreams & Sugary Dreams. My first concept was Flowery Dreams, but I lost interest and dropped it. I then gave ‘Galaxy Dreams’ a try – it was fun but I ran out of ideas quickly and ended up with just a handful of illustrations. Time passed, and I found myself thinking about flowers again. I made a new file called ‘Flower Coloring Book’ and decided to give it one more go.
It can be difficult to approach a flower-themed coloring book because flowers are perhaps one of the most popular themes when it comes to coloring books, that and mandalas, of course. It’s definitely daunting, but I let my imagination guide me for this one. I also learned a lot about flowers – any more knowledge and I’m one step away from a botany degree! And while I couldn’t resist drawing some flower faeries, I tried to keep the concept fresh and true to my style – inside you’ll find a lavender tea chibi, a flowering tea mermaid, a wisteria ballerina, a unicorn in a bottle of roses, and more!
I had a lot of fun with the photoshoot from this book as well. I usually do my photography and filming in my little home studio (aka my desk), but I thought this book needed more creativity than that! So I took my book outdoors and found some nice greenery and wildflowers for the backdrop. To get a better look at Flowery Dreams, check out my video flipthrough below. Links to purchase the book from amazon, or a digital ebook from Etsy, are provided below the video!
