25 Elegant and Beautiful Fairies printed on one side of the page

Fairy Lane: Enchanting Fairies to Color (Fairy Lane Books) (Volume 1)

This is my second book of fairy designs by Barbara Lanza. The first was a best-selling book by Creative Haven. This book is by another publisher and while the artwork is as good if not better, the one thing that I miss in this book are the perforated pages. That certainly would not keep me from enjoying coloring in this book but it is something to note if you also own the prior book

The fairies are beautiful and are in a variety of settings and poses. I really enjoy that some are fairly simple (such as my first project with a fairy and a sunflower) and that others are much more detailed with lots of back ground setting design.

This is what I found in and about the coloring book:

25 Elegant Fairy Designs
Printed on one side of thin, slightly rough, non-perforated white paper
A few designs merge into the binding area
Glue Bound
Alcohol and water-based markers bleed through the page
Gel pens and India Ink pens leave shadows of color on the back of the page.
Coloring pencils work well with the paper. Soft lead pencils go on with good coverage and layer and blend well. Hard lead pencils work well but also dent the back of the page.

I recommend using a blotter page below the page you are working on to keep ink or dents from marring the design on the next page.
