30 Beautiful and Easy to Color Flower Designs printed on one side of non-perforated paper

This is my third coloring book by Stefania Miro and I am enjoying this book as much as I did the first two. In this coloring book, she has drawn beautiful flowers but has simplified the coloring aspect of the designs. The flowers are very pretty but they are flowers rather than doodled flowers with small and intricate spaces. This makes it a great book to color when you don’t have the time or patience to color in tiny spots. It is also a great coloring book for those who may have some challenges with fine motor skills or whose eyesight may not be up to the tiny parts of other coloring books.

All of the designs stop well before the binding. 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.

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.

These are the coloring medium that I use for testing. If there is something else you feel I should be testing, please let me know and I will see if I can add it to my growing pile:

Markers: 1) alcohol-based Copic Sketch, Prismacolor double ended markers (brush and fine point), Sharpies (fine and ultra-fine) and 2) water-based Tombows dual end markers (brush and fine point), Stabilo 88, Staedler triplus fineliners, and Pentel markers

Gel Pens: Sakura, Fiskars, and Tekwriter

Coloring Pencils: Prismacolor Premiere Soft Core, Derwent Colorsoft, Prismacolor Verithins, and Faber-Castel Polychromos

I purchased my first copy of this coloring book. The publisher was kind enough to provide me a sample copy at no charge for test and review purposes. This allowed me to give my original, purchased copy to a friend.
