31 Easy to Color Mandalas with a Hand-drawn look printed on one side of perforated paper

This is a great coloring book of 31 circular form mandalas by Alberta Hutchinson. The mandalas are open and easy to color. They are detailed without being small and intricate or difficult to see and color. I like that the designs have a hand-drawn, almost organic feel to them. Many mandalas are now computer-generated but you can tell that the artist was involved in creating these designs. I think the magical part of the type may just be a fun play on alliteration as there were no magical elements to the designs that I could see that and it made sense as a title as her prior book was Mystical Mandalas. They are simply well drawn and fun to color designs.

The designs are printed on only one side of the perforated page. The paper and all around printing and binding is consistent with the good quality you can expect from Creative Haven. While the binding is glued, you can easily remove pages at the perforations. The mandalas are all centered well on the page and you will not lose any part of the design if you remove it from the book.

For those who are interested, I will list the various coloring medium I use for my tests in the comments below. My markers both water and alcohol based bleed through Creative Haven paper. My gel pens don’t leak through but they do leave a shadow of color on the back side of the page. My coloring pencils work well with the paper and as expected for the type of core in the pencil. I recommend using a blotter sheet below the page you are working on to keep from ink leaking through to the next page. You can also remove the page. I use chipboard as a blotter but you can use multiple sheets of paper of card stock or even a paper folder if you have one handy.
