Bonus bookmark included! \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the first time\u003cb\u003e, \u003c\/b\u003eJulie Jackson’s sassy cross-stitch designs are available in coloring book form. Julie doesn’t hold back and neither should you. An adult activity book that collects her signature \"charmingly disgruntled\" patterns into the ultimate therapy—coloring pages—plus connect-the-dots, finish-the-doodle, and a host of other fun activities, this is the perfect opportunity to color your blues away and channel your inner badass with the \u003ci\u003eSubversive Cross Stitch Coloring Book\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeeling overloaded and underwhelmed? Try a subversive activity instead of freaking out. Practice mindlessness while you color one of Julie’s trademark cross-stitch designs (brilliantly reinterpreted by subversive illustrator Chris Piascik.) Or improve a bad mood with an in-your-face activity such as folding the “Flying F*ck” paper airplane or the handy Decision-Maker Cube. If it’s kindness that gets you through the day, make an “Everyday Valentine” for someone who deserves it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book gives you permission to cut loose. This is not a book you put on the shelf and leave in perfect condition; it’s meant to be wildly interactive. So color outside the lines, cut parts out, fold, and throw things—tear it up and make it your own! No one else brings the same frustrations and creative attitude to it that you do. Consider it your therapy project and an escape from the pressures of the day. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost importantly, SHARE. Share the results with co-workers by adding your boss’s face to a finger puppet. Unleash your inner futurist with the magic cat fortune-teller. Or color and tear out one of the illustrated phrases to hang at your desk and remind you to smile now and then. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGo ahead and turn your world upside down for a while. Release the therapeutic value of play and be the bad kid in class you always wanted to be. Color on the walls! There are no consequences here. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmbrace the delicious thrill of so-called “bad” words (no one is shocked anymore.) By coloring them in, you take away their power. And really, f*ck anyone who can’t take a joke. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbove all, have fun!
