30 Intricate Christmas Designs printed on one side of non-perforated paper

Christmas is my favorite time of the year, so I love to pick up coloring books devoted to the theme. This coloring book has 30 designs most of which appear to have been computer drawn. A few of the designs almost twins within the book where the same images have been utilized more than once but to form a different finished designs. I like both hand-drawn and computer drawn and even generated art, so this works fine for me. It certainly gives nice clean edges and a more precise look to the design.

There are all sorts of Christmas motifs but you will not find a Santa or a snowman in the book. Most of the designs have very intricate and small elements, so I suggest a good eye and a really steady hand would be important for coloring in this book.

The designs are printed on one side of thin white non-perforated paper that is typical for books published by CreateSpace. The binding is glued but there is plenty of room for you to cut a page out if you choose to do so. Most of the designs stop before the bound edge. Of the ones that merge into the binding, you will not lose any of the essential parts of the design.

All of my markers bleed through and my gel pens either bleed through or leave a distinct shadow on the back of the page. My coloring pencils work well with the paper. I will use a piece of chipboard or heavy paper behind the page I am working on so I don’t ruin the following page with leaking ink.

While I could wish for thicker, perforated paper, it appears that this is the quality that comes from CreateSpace (which is an Amazon company.) What I really like about the CreateSpace is it is a way that independent artists can get their work self-published. That way, I get a huge choice of design styles albeit with not the best paper.
