Dream Weaver: A Coloring Adventure to Help You Dream the Night Away

Rating: 5 of 5

This is a storybook coloring book based on the imaginary dreams of a young woman. As she goes to sleep, we see a visual of her dreams as if they were somehow coming out of her ear. Most of the designs show the prospective of being in the dream, though showing the woman in the images. A few include a step back to seeing the woman asleep with her dreams surrounding her.

The designs include a wide variety of subjects and I found that many had a bit of an Asian vibe. There are Koi fish, birds, balloons, oceans, forests, kites, flowers, paper lanterns, peacocks, and even kitties. The designs are quite details and some have smaller and more intricate areas to color.
This is what I found while coloring in the book and testing the paper with my coloring medium:
94 pages of dream inspired designs
Printed both sides of page
Paper is white, heavyweight, slightly smooth and non-perforated
Sewn binding
Designs merge into the binding. Many of the designs are two-pages spreads with integral elements at the binding area.
Alcohol-based markers bleed through the page. If you use this medium, it will leak through and mar the design on the back of the page.
Water-based markers, India ink pens and gel pens did not bleed through. Gel pens take longer than usual to dry.
Although the paper is slightly smooth to the touch, it still has enough tooth to get decent pigment from colored pencils. I tested both oil and wax based and could easily layer the same or different colors and blend using a pencil style blender stick.
