Creative Haven Floral Frenzy Coloring Book (Adult Coloring)
By: Miryam Adatto
Rating: 5 of 5
Floral Frenzy is my second adult coloring book by Miryam Adatoo in the Creative Haven line. As with the other book, Fanciful Faces, there are 31 beautiful and wildly abstract designs.
Each design is an explosion of flowers in wild abandon along with beautiful and abstract backgrounds. At first glance in some cases, it is a little difficult to pick out the actual flowers. I can tell that when I color them, I can choose to hide the flowers or to bring them into the foreground of the design. I really like that I have this type of control over the design that I am coloring. It gives me another element of design thought as I plan what I will do with each page.

As with other Creative Haven coloring books, the pages are perforated for easy removal, are printed on bright white paper, and the designs are on only one side of each page (the back of which is left blank.)
I find that my gel pens and pencils work fine with these pages but when I use markers, I have to test for ink seeping through. If it does, I use freezer paper or cardstock to keep the page beneath from being marred.
These designs are really beautiful and imaginative. I find that the designs I have by Ms. Adatto are very different and allow me stretch a bit more as a colorist. I am looking forward to playing with medium and colors to create my garden at the end of each day.
