Celebrating millions of women worldwide, Inkspirations for Women (HCI Books -- $10.95) encourages women to leave the demands of the day behind for a much-needed boost of happiness, creativity, and relaxation. As the largest audience for adult coloring books, women are uplifted in Inkspirations for Women. This adult coloring book helps women unwind and rediscover their inner artist with an eclectic mix of gorgeous designs to color and customize.

Believe it or not, scientists have studied coloring, and they've found that it quiets your mind, calms your thoughts, reduces stress, and allows you to simply be. Research shows that coloring can induce a kind of 'flow,' or active meditation, during which you lose your sense of time and your brain waves fall into a calming rhythm. As a result, worries fade away and creative blocks can become wellsprings of ideas.

Inkspirations for Women offers:

• Inspiring quotes and motivating mantras from the New York Times bestselling author and happiness expert Marci Shimoff on love, hope, gratitude, dreaming big, and more.

• More than 30 intricate designs from illustrator Judy Clement Wall, everything from flowers and fauna to meditative mandalas and more.

• How-to section by artist that guides readers in how to customize the art or to take their interest further by doodling or patterning within the pages.

• Thick stock paper allowing readers to use colored pencils, markers, or watercolors and perforated pages encourage framing or sharing finished pieces.

• Perforated pages for easy tearing and sharing.

The readers of Inkspirations for Women are invited to take a break from the busyness of life with this book's captivating collection of exquisite original art. After spending a moment with this adult coloring book, women will come to see the world is their canvas to make some beautiful marks!
