Hi! I'm Del, a Welsh girl living in South Africa who has many creative hobbies. I'm a firm believer in embracing your inner child throughout adulthood and one of the ways I do this is by doodling intricate patterns to colour in. I've already self-published one 'adult colouring book' full of my patterns, but I'd like to crowdfund a second book and offer some fun incentives along the way.

According to this article on HuffPo (and many others!), as well as being great fun, colouring in is a fantastic way to ease the stress we face in our adult lives;

"The practice generates wellness, quietness and also stimulates brain areas related to motor skills, the senses and creativity."

Colouring books are a great thing to own for yourself to unwind after a busy day or just to spend some 'you' time doing something fun, but they're especially useful for anyone who has a particularly busy or stressful lifestyle, anyone suffering from depression, or spending time at a hospital - any situation where taking care of your mental well-being through stimulating creative activity is paramount.

Campaign Summary:

  • 50 unique, original, hand-drawn illustrations to colour, printed in high-quality in an 8.5x8.5" square book with a full colour glossy cover
  • Rewards including digital (for printing yourself) and physical copies of the book, your own personal doodles, and signed postcards and original illustrations posted to you via 'snail mail'
  • Funds raised will cover printing costs of the book as well as funding further art supplies for continued pursuit of my hobby
  • Flexible funding - all backers will receive their rewards even if the main goal isn't met

What I Need & What You Get

The main product of this campaign will be a physical colouring book. The book will feature fifty unique, original hand-drawn illustrations printed on #60 paper at 8.5x8.5" with a full glossy colour cover. Each image will be designed to utilise the square format and will be printed on its own page (with nothing on the back), to minimise effects of ink-bleed through the paper when colouring with inks, but also so that each image can be removed from the book (to be framed, for example) without sacrificing another image on the back of the page.

Obviously the first thing I need is to cover printing and postage costs of the physical books, and this is where most of the funding will go. Reward tiers that include physical media are priced to include postage, so there'll be no extra to pay on top of your perk amount.

The remainder of the money generated will cover my time spent drawing and will pay for art supplies. Right now I'm using pretty basic gear - a small selection of pens and some of the cheaper colouring pens and pencils. I'd like to upgrade and expand on my tools, but art supplies are expensive. The funds raised here will help pay for that.

Further Information

As mentioned above, I've already self-published one colouring book;

www.lulu.com/shop/delyth-angharad/meditative-colouring-for-adults/paperback/product-22164140.html

The reviews have been great and everyone who's received their copy so far has loved it. I'm confident that this second book will be just as high quality and well presented by both myself and Lulu, and will be just as well received.


I'll be printing through Lulu again; their prices are competitive and their print quality is generally very good. I've used them before so I'm familiar with their process. Printing this way will also allow me to send copies directly from Lulu to backers, cutting down on postage costs.

Delivery Estimates:

Postage for all reward tiers will be available worldwide.

Lulu is a print-on-demand service and depending on which country you're in, physical copies of your book can take from one to four weeks to arrive, as Lulu prints out each copy after the order has been placed. This campaign is set to run for sixty days, during which time I'll be assembling the remaining doodles to include in the book and working on the extra rewards. At the end of the campaign I'll create the book through Lulu and then place the orders, so you should expect your books to be delivered within a month after that point.


For the other physical tiers, I'll be posting from South Africa, which can take one to three weeks to reach the rest of the world (but usually takes 7 - 10 days). 

Other Ways You Can Help

Share, share, share! Colouring books are great for people of all ages, so the potential audience here is huge. Your friends might like a copy, their friends might like copies, and they make fantastic gifts. Share this campaign on your social media feeds!


You can also direct people to my Deviant Art gallery for high-res images they can download for free and print themselves to colour, without needing to back this project;

I'll be promoting my campaign there too, so any visits to my images on Deviant Art will feed this campaign.
