If you love to color colonial architecture from the nation's revolutionary city capital in the Williamsburg Virginia Geographic Area and the Historic Restoration district, this book is a definite 'must buy!' If you love to color the holiday decorations, you can't wait to purchase this book!
Historically, the colonists did not decorate for the holidays as Americans do today. But, in keeping with the guidelines of the local building codes of the area, residents can decorate for the holidays, but are only allowed to use natural materials that could be found or were present at the time of the early revolutionary era. The amazing wreath designs are stunning in their simplicity and variety of beautiful materials. This coloring book also has a companion resource book available via the author's Etsy store where buyers can view the original full-color photographs to resource the colors and more details to the materials in each wreath (etsy.com/people/DawnDBoyer)
The book is filled with 50+ Gray Scaled Photographs of the 2016 Holiday Wreathes and Décor you will find if you visit the area. This is one of four volumes of Gray Scale photos that concentrate on Holiday Wreathes and Décor. There are at least two creative ways you can use the illustrations in this book and the other three volumes:
As a Coloring Book - pull the pages out, get out your crayons and colored pencils, and 'go to town' in adding your interpretation of what materials the colonists used if they were inclined to decorate their windows and doors during the holiday season.
As a Scavenger Game - look through the book and see if you can identify the location of all the illustrations throughout the book. Mark the location page with the longitude and latitude coordinates. Buy more books for your friends and family and see who can identify all the locations of the structures in the book first!

About the Author: Dawn D. Boyer, Ph.D. has been drawing since she was five years old, and would color her father's office stationery with crayons to create colored paper for art projects. She attended Virginia Commonwealth University's, Bachelor of Art Program, and then re-engaged later at Radford University, earning her BFA in Graphic Design and Illustration. She returned to Virginia Commonwealth University to earn her Master's Degree in Adult Education, and then attended Old Dominion University for her Doctorate of Philosophy in Education (STEMPS/OTS/T&D/HR).
Over the years she has developed a distinctive style for her pen and ink illustrations of old barns and houses, as well as Colonial Williamsburg architectural portraiture. She currently works in mixed-media from recycled magazines to create 3-D images of stylistic animals and mandalas, using childhood craft processes (bubble-gum chains, paper footballs, and quilling techniques) to create sophisticated paper baskets 'crocheted' woven together in a non-traditional way. This is used to her advantage in creating imaginative illustrations of the delightful fairy houses and fairy doors.
She is the author of 125+ books on the topics of business, career search practices, mandala books for hypnotherapy and meditation, 14+ coloring books for adults, women and gender studies, quotes for self-improvement ("2,000+" & "3,000+" series), as well as genealogy and family lineage. She assists other authors publish their manuscripts in the print-on-demand market and also has a series of books entitled: Interview with An Artist. The interview books compile artists' interviews with photos of the artist's work to assist the artists in marketing and branding their work to an international marketplace.
She completed her doctor of philosophy studies May 2013 at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA in Education (Occupational & Technical Studies, with a concentration in Training & Development in Human Resources).
