BOOKS - scratch & create

Here is something new of interest to designers that will arrive in Autumn 2017. Publisher Quarto Knows will introduce Scratch & Create (see video) to the colouring book market. This new series incorporates metallic ink layered over specially commissioned drawings or unique colourful backgrounds. By using a special stylus, you can scratch away the coating, uncovering beautiful, full colour finished artworks or you can create your own designs. One of the first books to be released in September will be by P&P fave Helen Dardik. Called Wild Garden it will consist of 12 tear out postcards that one revealed can be used for sending or display. More titles are due in December including two scratch and draw books from Zoe Ingram. You can see the books or pre-order online at Amazon UK or Amazon USA.
