22 Imaginative Hand-drawn Faery Forest Designs printed on one side of non-perforated paper

The Curious Coloring Book: Faery Forest

By: Andrea Mina Savar

Rating: 5 of 5

This coloring book contains 22 hand-drawn designs (not including the title or bookplate pages which also have elements to color as well.) The designs are the artist’s vision of a faery forest and are both interesting and imaginative. There are lots of faeries, flora, and fauna in the designs. On the back of each page, a line from the Faery Forest Song is printed and the entire poem is printed at the end of the book. While it is nice to have the words on the back, I generally consider that side of my page to be a waste area when a design is printed on this type of thin paper. While the designs are intricate, the spaces are not too small for coloring easily.

All of the design stop well before the binding. The designs are printed on one side of thin white non-perforated paper. 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 the designs (except for the very last one) have completely finished elements. One of my pet peeves are unfinished elements which give my final project an uneven look. I’m not sure why the last one was cut off at the edges. Perhaps it was simply too large for the page.

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.
