5.0 out of 5 stars Buerflies Nloom on the Pages of Ruth Heller's Coloring Book, April 18, 2000

This review is from: Designs for Coloring: Butterflies (Paperback)

Ruth Heller's Butterfly designs are simply beautiful, true to her other coloring books. The way that she takes each of the large images, shrinks them down and tiles them , createing an M.C. Escher-like pattern. The paper in the book is very thick and takes marker well. You don't have to worry about color bleeding through the paper because the butterflies are only printed on the front sides of the pages. This makes it easier to cut the images out for decoupage as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Slightly disappointed, July 6, 2007

This review is from: Designs for Coloring: Butterflies (Paperback)

I loved the drawings but the book has only 4 or 5 different butterflies that were repeated with different number of butterflies on the page. Instead of putting more varity of butterflies or the same butterflies even but in different scenery, they just kept using the same few butterflies and increased the number of butterflies on the pages throughout the book. One butterfly on one page, the same one duplicated on another, then quadrupled on another etc. throughout the book for the IDENTICAL 4 or 5 butterflies which seems to be a little lazy. This seems to be the same for all these books at least the book of flowers was the same.

If you like to color for relaxation, meditation, or just flat-out fun, you have stumbled upon a goldmine of prettiness here with this wonderful book of butterflies printed on good-guality paper. The butterflies are also only printed on one side of the pages, so you can also use them for any other crafts project you might have in mind.

Xerox the pages so you can try coloring them in crayon, gel pen, watercolor, pencil, etc. There's surely a world of exploration here. Cut out a bunch of them and frame them around a special photograph. Use them singly pinned randomly around your cork board. There's no end to what you can do with them.

Have fun!
