BLOOM BOARDS by Art with Mellie

Your creative escape, ready to colour and enjoy!

What is a Bloom Board?

Bloom Boards are engraved wooden art pieces made for colouring, calm, and creativity.

Each design starts as Mellie’s hand-drawn artwork, inspired by nature and quiet moments of peace, then laser-engraved on solid 45 cm basswood.

More than just colouring — they’re mindful moments you can hold.

No setup, no mess — just your pens (paint pens or felts), your board, and a little time to unwind.

Pick your favourite Bloom Board — make it yours!

Blank, ready-to-colour, and uniquely yours.
NZ shipping or Auckland pickup.

How to use a Bloom Board

Your Bloom Board comes blank and ready to colour — no setup, no stress! It makes the perfect gift for yourself or a loved one - blank or filled with colour!

Use sharpies, felt pens or, for the most vibrant finish, acrylic paint pens work beautifully. Follow the engraved lines, choose your colours, and make it your own.

Once finished, you can leave it as is or seal it with a light varnish for extra protection.

Display your artwork proudly — on a stand, small easel, or hung on the wall with Command Strips. Voila!

What our customers are saying

“Such a gorgeous and unique gift idea. I got one for my sister and one for myself — we both LOVE them!”
Kirsty, Auckland

“The quality is great. They're sturdy wood, really smooth, and so satisfying to colour.”
Hannah, Auckland

"I bought a couple of the colouring rounds and paint pens for my kids (10 & 12) as something to do in the school hols. I wasn't sure how they'd go down with the kids, but these were a hit and have turned out beautifully! I am going to get one for myself! We can't wait to hang them up and the boys are hanging out for Mellie's new designs to come in!
Sarah, Auckland

Meet the artist

Hi, I’m Mellie — a mum of three, teacher, and NZ artist behind Art with Mellie and Bloom Boards.

I love getting creative, painting my original floral canvases, doing mosaics and exploring the joy and calm that creating brings.

Bloom Boards are my way of sharing that experience with others — a simple, relaxing, and rewarding way to enjoy the benefits of art for yourself.

It's time to bloom!

Take a moment for yourself.
Pick your favourite design, grab your pens (felts & sharpies work too!), and let colour bring you back to calm.
