nausicaa83We're having horrible November weather here. The worst part is that apparently all tourists collectively forget ever having seen rain before as soon as they set foot in Venice, because they instantly don't know how to walk while holding an umbrella. Too foreign a concept. Is there a patron saint of patience? Because I think I scored so many points today from not hitting dumb people across the head with my cute little umbrella I'm pretty sure I'm gonna skip purgatory altogether, let me tell you.
Speaking of stressful situations, a few days ago the wonderful![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
silviarambles pointed me in the direction of this amazing thing I had no idea existed, the Art Therapy Colouring Book. It arrived the other day, and I'm absolutely ecstatic about it!
It's a beautiful collection of black and white drawings and patterns to be coloured in as an anti-stress exercise. For all those situations where we need to take our mind off, as a relaxing hobby, or during phone conversations where one would usually doodle on the nearest piece of paper.
Here's my first completed page. That's two phone conversations, one lunch, and one dinner cooking. I hadn't done anything like this in twenty years, it was fantastic. I don't consider myself a very artsy person, so it was a great challenge as well. I brought it to my therapist today, and she loved it. *______*
The paper is very thick, and the colours don't bleed through. It's big, and there are a lot of pages: it'll take me months to finish it. I really can't recommend it enough. ^^

Date: 2015-05-25 07:22 am (UTC)Queste cose le disegnavo e le coloravo anch'io al liceo (se sfoglio certi libri, trovo ancora tanti di questi disegni antistress a bordo pagina), e sono ottime per passare il tempo quando si ha bisogno di rilassarsi, magari con un bel sottofondo musicale. Lo metterò nella mia wishlist per quando avrò un po' di soldini da spendere per me. :)

Date: 2015-05-31 11:15 am (UTC)On a somewhat related topic, I was recently given a massive book as a gift. It's called Flow, a book for paper lovers. Just google it and you'll see what glory we're talking about.:)
By the way, is it me, or there's something wrong with your header? I can't see it, I see only a thin sliver of the top.:/
