The pen name
About Ada Pinecroft
Bold enough to see. Easy enough to finish. Cozy enough to stay.
Ada Pinecroft is a pen name for cozy, bold and easy coloring books for adults.
The pages are made for unhurried time. Lines stay bold enough to follow without strain. Scenes stay close to ordinary life: a kitchen table, a picnic blanket, a walk after dark, a warm drink when the weather turns. A page can be finished in one sitting, or left open until tomorrow.
There is no correct palette. Color a single teacup and stop, or fill the whole woodland. The drawings are there to keep you company.
What the books hold to
- Bold lines that are easy to see and satisfying to fill.
- Cozy, everyday moments rather than a test of patience.
- Single-sided pages, so color stays on the page you are working on.
- Square books that sit comfortably on a table.
The first book, Hollow & Hearthside, follows Hazel the hedgehog, Fenn the fox, Bram the beaver, and Olive the owl through a woodland year. It also has its own site at hollowhearthside.com (opens in a new tab). Later books can keep the same quiet promise: cozy subjects, bold lines, and pages that are easy to live with. This site stays a little calmer than any one book, so there is room for whatever comes next.
