A Little Light In A F*cked Up World

Beautiful order, absolutely the sentiments I need at the moment

Such a gorgeous book. Super feminist and fun. I go the bleedproof paper with the dopamine pens and I’m obsessed

I LOVE this book! It was absolute perfection, each page just beautifully done. It took me less than a month to complete (probably would have done sooner if not for work) but that was because I struggled to stop colouring once I started a page as I just wanted to continue!

Love this book so much i cannot put it down !!

I bought all the products from the Light Over Darkness launch and I’m OBSESSED.

This book lets me light up my beliefs with sparkling colour and serves as an excellent form of feminist expression, in addition to being filled with beautifully illustrated pieces of art! I’ve struggled a lot with feeling depressed and finding little joy in anything - but now I actively look forward to getting home from work each day because I can’t wait to continue colouring in this book, which helps to bring a little light and purpose to my dark and stressful days.

The blending paper is an absolute game-changer (I had only ever tried the bleedproof paper before this, which as they mention can take a little bit more work to blend - so had no idea how satisfyingly effortless blending could be, and now I’m completely in love!). I was hesitant to try the non-bleedproof paper but I have all of the CoC pens available right now and none of them bleed through at all, even when layered repeatedly. The paper is incredibly high quality and goes great with new brush pens!

I love the quotes and designs, and the diverse characters from many cultures. I would love it if there was perhaps some East Asian representation next time too, but I understand how this may be tricky to portray in drawings. Overall, as a queer ethnic minority female with disabilities, from a single-mother immigrant household, this book really makes me feel seen.

For such a great price this book has already helped me more than years of expensive therapy, and I am glad to spend every spare moment of mine enjoying it! I’ve attached some images of my progress so far - as you can see, I’m a bit messy at colouring… but the pens/designs are so beautiful that I love it anyway and am having an absolute blast.

Massive thank you to Mille & the CoC team for bringing this invaluable piece of joy and light into our f*cked up world! xx
