Tales of the Fantasy flight of the fairies (Adult Coloring Books) (Volume 2)

Rating: 5 of 5
This is a very pretty coloring book which includes 23 fairy designs (24 if you include the intro page.) There are a variety of styles, which makes sense as the designs are all licensed from Shutterstock. I’m very happy to see the attribution on the Look Inside on Amazon. It lets you know immediately that the designs are curated rather than drawn by the editor of the book.
For me, Mayo family has done a good job of curated these images as most are not familiar to me. The printing is well done, the editors put a framing line around each of the designs for a natural stopping point, and the designs are generally well fit to the page. Most of the designs are detailed and some are quite intricately drawn.
For my first project in this coloring book, I chose to color a fairy playing tug-of-war with a bird. She is in a garden setting and they are tugging at a beautiful flower. I really enjoyed coloring this designs using a variety of Sharpies and Bic Mark-it alcohol-based markers.
This is what I found in this coloring book:
23 Fairy designs (licensed from Shutterstock)
Page for checking colors, etc.
Designs printed on one side of the page
Paper is thin, white, slightly rough, non-perforated.
Glue Bound
Designs do not merge into the binding area
Alcohol and water-based markers bleed through the page (I suggest you use a blotter page under your work.)
Gel pens and India ink leave colorful shadows on the back of the page.
Coloring pencils work well good color, layer and blend well. Hard pencils dent the back of the page.
