Reviews
This book has great coloring opportunities of Art Deco inspired fashions of the 1920's, 1930's and even the early 1940's. The clothing designs have had a lot of detail added that were not probably part of the clothing of the period but which make it even more fun to color. The designs are by artist Ming-Ju Sun who has a number of coloring books on various fashions in the Dover family of product. Some of the designs are have intricate parts but I don't think I will have to use my magnifying lamp for this book. I've included pictures of both fully colored samples that are printed in the coloring book.There are 31 designs in this coloring book. As with all of the Creative Haven books that I have used in the past, these are on a bright white page that is a fairly heavy stock. The designs are printed on one side of the page only and the edges of each page have good perforations which make it easy to remove from the book.All of my gel pens and markers bleed through on Creative Haven books and this book is no different. I use freezer paper in between the sheets (if I am keeping it in the book) or under the page if I remove it from the book. You can also put sheets of heavy stock paper in between if you don't have freezer paper handy.I have been coloring adult color books as a way to relieve the stress of the day. I love fashion, too, so coloring in this book is even more fun. It reminds me of when I was a child coloring in my old Barbie color books. That alone, makes the time fly by and my stress lift.
