The 'craze' for therapeutic colouring has been upon us for quite a while. Recently however, it has reached important new heights - colouring books from museum and library collections.
While the urge to colour the beautiful images you see in manuscripts hadn't been one I'd actually harboured (I'm more of a desperately scout the gift shop for reproductions kinda girl), these do look really fun. A Google search will quickly bring up a number of results but here are my favourites:
