47 Designs with a variety of prayers printed one side of the page

Prayers to Color & Brighten Your Day

Rating: 5 of 5

This is a coloring book of 47 prayer inspired designs. The prayers are mostly Christian in nature but there are also some included from other religions. The designs are very pretty but do not generally reflect the words of the prayer. The words themselves are part of the design and are meant to be colored. In some cases, the words are, in fact, the design.

The designs are quite detailed and in some spots, intricate and small to color. Some of the prayers are attributed to their original source.
This is what I found while coloring in this book and testing my coloring medium on the paper:
47 Designs based on a variety of prayers mostly Christian but others included as well
Designs printed on one side of the page with the prayer attribution, if included, printed on the design page.
Paper is heavyweight, white, slightly smooth and non-perforated
Sewn Binding you can remove several pages in whole at a time by snipping the threads/
Some designs merge past the perforations into the binding area. Nothing essential to the design will be lost if you remove a page from the book.
Opens fairly flat for ease of coloring.
Alcohol-based markers bleed through the page. If you use this medium, I suggest using a blotter page to keep ink from seeping through. I use card stock but a couple of pages of paper should work as well.
Water-based markers, India ink pens and gel pens do not bleed through the page. Some do leave light, colorful shadows on the back of the page.
Colored pencils worked well with this paper. I tested both oil and wax based pencils and found that I was able to apply layers of the same color to get rich pigment. I could also layer multiple colors well and I could blend both oil and wax based pencils easily with a pencil style blending stick.
