This is a very pretty set of 50 mini designs which, in larger versions, are part of artist Selina Fenech’s larger format books. I own two of those coloring books and I see that there are a number of designs which have been scaled down to fit into the smaller format. I am really happy to have them again in the smaller format because the book fits really well in my purse and I can easily carry it and a small set of coloring pencils as well. It also makes me want to buy the two books that I don’t already own as the designs are so well done.

The designs are quite elegant and have a great deal of detail in them. There are several nudes (especially the topless mermaids) where hair and whatnot cover up the strategic areas so that the individuals are not technically nude. I love the addition of the mermaids and the children designs. The artist’s style is very flowing and I have a lot of fun with this type of fantasy (which includes a few companions such as dragons, etc.)

The designs are printed on one side of the page with the back left blank. The paper is white and is not perforated. Many of the design go right into the binding, so removing the page might be a tad difficult without losing some portion of it. The paper is fairly thin and all markers and gel pens leak through. As the back of each page is blank, you can put a piece of card stock or really heavyweight paper under the page you are working on to keep ink from ruining the rest of the book. I’ve cut down a piece of chipboard to keep in the book but I am mostly planning on using coloring pencils and saving my markers, etc. for the larger versions of the designs in my other books. The binding is glued rather than sewn in.
