Home Away from Home: A Hand-Crafted Adult Coloring Book

Rating: 5 of 5

This is a pretty coloring book with filled with designs of items that can be associated with vacations. A number of the designs are riffs on a similar theme, such as shells, sunglasses, etc. The designs range from open and easy to color to more elaborate with some intricate details.

The book itself is really pretty, too. It has a dust jacket which can be colored, inside and out. The outside has a beautiful touch of copper foil. In addition to the designs I mentioned above, there are flowers, birds, shell creatures, sailing boats, lizards, trees, leaves, frogs, canoes, paddles and much more.

The designs are printed double-sided on a good heavyweight white paper. What is wonderful is that the pages are perforated for easy removal. There are ten designs which appear to be spread across two pages and which will be divided if you remove the pages from the book. The good news is that they can easily stand-alone as single page designs.

I tested a variety of pens and what I discovered is: my markers either bleed through (alcohol-based) or leave a shadow on the backside of the page (water-based). None of my gel pens had any problems and I was able to color with ease with a variety of pencils on the surface of the page.
