This is a fun coloring book for anyone who likes to have swirling lines instead of straight. All of the designs have a flowing look to them. The subjects are forest animals, plants and even a few fairies or maidens. The animals and plants take the forefront with owl, deer, birds and a wild variety of fantastic and imaginative flowers.

The 30 designs are detailed and a few have slightly intricate elements which are fairly small to color. On the whole, it is a book that should be somewhat easy to color but may require a few pens/marker/pencils with tiny tips.
This is what I experienced while coloring in this book and testing my coloring medium on the paper:
30 Forest inspired designs with an emphasis on swirling lines
Printed one side of the page
Paper is white, thin, slightly rough and non-perforated typical of CreateSpace publications
Designs do not merge into the binding and there is plenty of room to cut out pages if you choose to do so.
Glue Binding
Alcohol-based markers bleed through the page quickly.
Water-based markers bleed through in spots.
Gel pens and India ink pens leave shadows on back of the page. India ink can bleed through if you apply heavily or multiple coats.
Coloring Pencils work well with this paper. I found that I could layers the same color for deeper pigment or multiple colors and I could blend easily using a pencils style blending stick. Both wax and oil based pencils worked well with the paper. Hard lead pencils can leave dents through the page.
I like to use a blotter when working in the book. I use a page of card stock or several sheets of heavyweight paper under my working page. It keeps seeping ink and marring dents from ruining the pages below.
