Her primary focus in the last 15 years has been as an illustrator for Dover Publications where she has had 230 books published that include a series of coloring books of many of the famous painters and art movements as well as a variety of design and activity books for artists and children, Marty lives in Anna Maria Florida, where she finds continual inspiration for her current series of photo art prints.

A Nice Coloring Book For Adults.,

This review is from: Medieval Tapestries Coloring Book (Dover Fashion Coloring Book) (Paperback)
Adults who enjoy coloring will like this coloring book very much. It has some beautiful tapestries to color, and it gives historical information as well. I suppose that kids might enjoy it, but I doubt they'd truly appreciate the historical aspect of what they were coloring.

Not your run-of-the-mill coloring book!,

This review is from: Medieval Tapestries Coloring Book (Dover Fashion Coloring Book) (Paperback)
Omg, this one is incredibly challenging...so much so it could probably take several months (or years depending on how often you color) to do every design in it. Some of the tapestries are so intricately detailed I have to keep my pencils sharpened to a fine point just to stay inside the lines.
Normally I don't like already inked in parts (fashions are a no no), but in this case, I'm actually grateful that a few of the design backgrounds are blackened in. All in all an excellent adult style coloring book that will keep you occupied for many, many, MANY hrs. It's a great value considering how much time and effort it takes to do each design. With informative dates and descriptions printed below each depiction, it's educational as well as fun. Get your pencil sharpener ready (you'll need it!) and enjoy!

This review is from: Medieval Tapestries Coloring Book (Dover Fashion Coloring Book) (Paperback)
As a history buff of what is often referred to as the Dark Ages, this Medieval Tapestries coloring book was a joy to find and to have. Marty Noble has done it again - provided adults with a quality coloring book full of images to color and to use as clip art, if desired. I am extremely pleased with the variety of tapestry selections and will enjoy using colored pencils in it as I recall that time period often forgot. The only minor negative is that the images are back-to-back, but luckily printed on quality thick paper.
