40 Abstract Designs + 10 Bonus Pages…Abstract Art with Tangled BordersThe drawings featured in our Messages From Beyond® Coloring Book series are allhand-drawn originals created specifically to help you get in touch with your innate intuitive ability. The abstract designs will allow your imagination and creativity to flow.We call our series Imagery From Beyond™ because Art by Ali™ is a unique style of drawing that seems to flow from Alice’s pens as she creates each page. To some people, this is just a coloring book—a fun way to relieve stress and relax after a hectic day.To many others, this may become a meditation tool to promote healing as well as to facilitate communication with loved ones who are sending you messages.As you flip through the pages, you may be drawn to a specific image…that is the place to start. The designs and even the colors you select will hold a special meaning for you. Each design magically comes to life as color is applied, and depending on the colorist’s view and direction the page is turned, the images can be quite different. Let your imagination and creativity soar as you color and create your own images within these pages. There is no right or wrong way to view the page—you may turn the book any way you desire—great for left-handed colorists, too. The possibilities are endless—many people color the same design more than once, each time coming up with different patterns, images, and emotions. Use 1, 2, or many colors to bring the designs to life. You will begin to see various images while creating a piece of art that speaks directly to you. Pages are purposely sized for easy framing—even the borders alone are perfect for 8x10 photo frames. For best results, the preferred tools for coloring are colored pencils, crayons, gel pens, and fine or ultra-fine-point markers. If using markers, we suggest placing a protective page behind the drawing you’re coloring to prevent bleed-through colors. There are bordered sheets at the end of this book to test your colors or use as a protective blotter page, or you can color and use as a photo frame! Please note: the artist has no control over the quality of the paper. This is a book published on demand by CreateSpace and Amazon, and the paper used is the best thickness available.Many people have told us, when coloring the images, they are taken to a place where healing can begin. The therapeutic benefits of coloring, along with the personal meaning you assign to your finished pages, may bring you healing and comfort as well.Thank you for choosing our book to be a part of your creative process. Borders, awesome center design. The borders are what my anxiety prefers. The borders and the design in the center. I like range coloring. I'll select a range of colors then go back and forth.... It's not a complicated mess of color choices or anything. It's just relaxing. Thank you, Alice, for making art that my soul needs. ~ Shelah Dow, artist & coloring book author. After coloring your second work in Treasury, I am beginning to see the images! I am not an abstract person and find it hard to see in those terms anything other than shapes, but in the last one I did, I saw the eyes, etc. I feel so accomplished. Thanks for enhancing my art. ~ Alyce Turner I have finally stopped and gave myself to being, clearing, cleaning out old energies ; and after smudging the house and enjoying it like a dream to the drumbeat of the surrounding music, I saw a post or something that triggered the need to color. So, in keeping with that, I decided to work on one of the patterns in Alice's book. In my prior experiences of coloring, lots actually, I've colored mandalas and my 'being' (myself without thoughts) was soothed, I believe, by the mathematical structure in the mandalas themselves, aligning with the natural rhythm of our very being....Now, however, with your drawings I have recognized a deeper pattern of energy, and it's almost like a yoga pose, or splash of water washing toxic energy from me. Much like a good yoga session does. Results so far, clearer thoughts, happiness, peace. I 'feel' that, through you, a power has given us yet another tool, your drawings, to help us live as the truly happy people we are meant to be. ~ Lauri SchofieldThe intriguing aspect of this adult coloring book lies in the abstract images that allows the colorist to "see" what she will in the bold designs. I found nature designs because that's what I love. My daughter simply enjoyed the abstract. Regardless, it gave me an opportunity to stretch my creativity as I hunted for pictures and played with the colors that brought my visions into existence. Relaxing and fun! ~ Susan Brown It is truly interesting and challenging. You can completely change the results and discover images that aren't obvious by your color choices. I enjoy that I'm able to be part of the creative process making each page a part of my own creation. This is a unique choice, and I'm so glad I did. I know my coloring is uni
