This is a really fun and whimsical coloring book with a set of 30 mandala designs. The artist has imaginatively drawn elements into her designs that I have not seen before. There are teddy bears, flowers, fruit, butterflies and more even a rainy day with umbrellas as well as more traditional abstract designs.

All of the designs stop well before the binding. The designs are printed on one side of thin white non-perforated paper (the standard CreateSpace paper.) The binding is glued rather than sewn. There is plenty of space between the binding and the design if you wish to cut the page out.

All of my markers (alcohol and water based) easily bleed through and my various brands gel pens either bleed through or leave a distinct shadow on the back of the page. My coloring pencils work well with the paper and behave as expected for their lead and this type of paper. I cut down a piece of chipboard, card stock, or manilla folder to keep behind the page I am working on. That way ink will not leak through to the following page. Be sure to give your ink drying time before turn the page or it can leak through the design in front of it. I will list the coloring medium I tested in the comments section for anyone who is interested.

A free sample of this coloring book was provided for test and review purposes.
