Hooray for books.....thank u thank u thank u...,u are so kind to share so much with so many....best of luck to each and everyone single coloris out there...happy coloring and good luck to everyone
Me thinking I overpurchased with my 5 Johanna Basford's books , 1 Rita Berman, 1 Masja Van Den Berg, 2 Kerby Rosanes and 1 Reptiloids . So I have 10 books which I really love and colour and feel guilty for buying too much 🤣
"hooray for books!" it truly is Christmas in July!!! Rotten time zones prevented me from watching live but wow, great video and the give away is so very generous of you! Happy coloring ❤
this was a great livestream. quick flips of all the books makes it really easy for us to choose what we would really like to start coloring in. thank you again Kori.
This is such a great idea of yours! You are so generous ! I dont mind buying colouring books from charity shops either. My 2 Johanna Basford's books a second hand , dont see any issues although planning to get second copy , because I like it too much.
“Hooray for books” what a generous give away!! Honestly I would enjoy any of the books so can’t pick any in particular but more then willing to be surprised with what goes in a box willy,nilly😊 and happy to pay shipping! Thanks so much for the offers an a chance to win. Good luck to all those colorists out there! Happy coloring😊
Hi, burning question... You mentioned that Dover's Creative Haven books have had a recent paper change! I absolutely love Creative Haven books due to their nice paper, affordable price, variety of themes, a dedicated group of artists, the perforations and their portability. I just love looking at them on the shelf and watching them fill up. They are so nice and clean and shiny looking, lol. I only have two books and I ordered Farm Sweet Farm by Marjorie Sarnat and it arrived June or July. The paper in that book seems fine.Can you tell me a bit about what the new paper is like? When did they change it and is it on all books. My last copy might be on the original paper because it may have been printed prior to the paper change that you mentioned. I am a bit worried now that if I order one in the future, that I will be receiving crap paper. I'm like you, trying to steer clear of the Amazon paper. i did cave and order an Angelkova book and I use oil pencil on Amazon paper and that seems fine. I also do a lot of greyscale illustrations which can be a nightmare on Amazon paper. I use the Brutfuner square on Amazon paper and I find it is quite ok on Karron and Lazareva books, yet her newest GS release Pirates on Amazon paper is a struggle. Kevin Teo's GS on Amazon paper has a weird texture and so do the Jade Summer GS and are horrible with any pencil. Just thought I would share my Amazon experience with you. We need more greyscale books on good paper. It is easy to find line art, but not GS. Jane Maday's Adorable Animal Grayscale book is Amazing with great paper, well printed GS , perforated one sided paper, tutorial and gallery pages plus practice pages and jam packed with lots to colour! That book is a winner for anyone starting out with grayscale.
Hey there! So, for the Creative Haven ones, I have only purchased Teresa Goodridge as of late, and her last 3 have had this new paper that is just downright awful. BUT one thing you need to keep in mind is printing is based off the artists' input as well. I have other Creative Haven books with different paper than Teresa Goodridge ones too, but not bad paper - just different. The change to the TG ones for the last few have created some really awful paper instead of the smooth, nicer paper they used to use in hers.
@@ColorfullyOptimistic I did hear that there was on of TG books that had an issue and I remember steering clear of that one. It is a shame that you have had three that are duds! I always wonder how much choice the artists have in that is there such thing as an upgraded paper for create space books. I did a bit of research and discovered that there are different tones like ivory or white for example, yet found it difficult to find any description of paper grade. I know that when people ask if Amazon paper is good or bad, people often say that it or paper in general is thin . I would only care if the paper is thin if I were going to apply mediums aside from pencil. I have worked on cardstock that is thin yet that doesn't make the paper hard to colour on. As long as the surface of any given paper is kind to coloured pencils, that's what constitutes good paper. When people judge paper by it's thickness, has nothing to do with how well a pencil will lay down on it. So many people complain about Amazon paper, yet we keep buying the books. I think that there has to be a way to get Amazon to pay attention to its customers. However, if we all continue to buy books that we want to love, but turns us off colouring, then it turns into a vicious circle.
@@ColorfullyOptimistic I have some books too that I don’t know what to do with because either I bought 2 copies 🤦🏻♀️ or my style has changed but it hurts my heart to just throw them away and I don’t have people around me who color so they sit on my shelf collecting dust.
@@ColorfullyOptimistic I didn’t think about after school programs let me check on that. I’ll have to see if there is a woman’s shelter close to me. Thanks for the good ideas
"Hooray for Books"!!!! I can't believe how many books you are giving away! You are so brave! And generous, thank you. Happy to pay postage - that's perfectly reasonable. Good luck everyone xx
Hmmm I'd say we could have you pay shipping fcr the envelope, but at that point it would end up probably costing more than the book depending on the book.
Hello Optimistic since I am a beginner I watch your destash and giveaway coloring books video, so I was wondering if you still doing it ?? I am interested in a few coloring books
@@ColorfullyOptimistic thank you hun I’m just hoping the postage isn’t to expensive to Australia 🇦🇺 I’m loving the cute books animals I’m a huge fan of animals
I had to laugh to myself, I have or HAD, about 70% of these books! Just like you I found new homes for them. Our tastes change in books as well as the paper that they are printed on. I find myself not purchasing Amazon printed books. I also am trying not to buy a book before I see them and not just buying to complete the collection.
