Creative Haven Beautiful Nature Designs Coloring Book

I vascilated about ordering this book for quite a long time. One of my favorite subjects to color is nature in all her glory and just about every creature that occupies this earth (I am terrified of creatures with eight legs - I can't even touch a picture of a spider without having severe panic - so needless to say I don't color them either.) I wasn't sure that this book would meet my expectations, but I finally ordered it; and I am very happy that I did.This book, like all Creative Haven books is printed on bright white paper with perforations (a tip for all of you who love to remove pictures from coloring books, but are disappointed by books that don't have perforated pages. Amazon carries a nice little page perforator for around $5. It works like a dream and is much safer than using a knife to remove pages.) The paper in Creative Haven books is "ok"; it's a moderate weight paper. The pictures are printed single sided. So you can use the medium of your choice to color the artwork. I still highly recommend that you use a good blotter behind the page that you are coloring.The artwork in this book is very nice. You will find pictures of puppies, zebras and fish; and everything in between. There are pictures of flowers and succulants, of fruit and vegetables. This book has a huge variety of subjects to choose from. Creative Haven books say that the artwork is specifically designed for "experienced colorists." Many of their books, in my opinion are for someone with experience, but this particular book has something for everyone. The more experienced colorist can truly work some magic with shading and blending. But I think that the colorist who just wants to color for relaxation and enjoyment will love the artwork just as much.I just received my book and haven't yet colored any of the motives. I will try to post a couple of pictures later after I have had a chance to color them. I truly hope that my review will help you to decide if this book is for you.Have a very blessed day, and color on!

Alles sehr gut

Cet album est tout simplement génial, on y trouve presque tout comme thématique. Je vais bien m'amuser. Les pages sont prédécoupées donc si l'on veut les détacher pour les encadrer, c'est top.

Great value

Absolutely gorgeous and as expected, good paper.
