Adult Coloring Belles and Blossoms Coloring Book (Adult Coloring Books: Flowers & Plants) Paperback – April 20, 2016

worth the wait, I just got my coloring book the other day and It is by far one of the prettiest coloring books I have ever seen, I truly love it, every page has such wonderful detail, and every belle, or girl is absolutely beautiful. I love it. it is probably my favorite coloring book, I say that about all of them but to be honest this is MY FAVORITE COLORING BOOK. NOT ONE PAGE IS UGLY. sometimes you get a coloring book and maybe one or two pages the girl is not pretty this book will blow your mind, because every page and every girl is really beautiful. if there was a coloring book to find or to buy this would be the book to buy is bright and cheery and yes beautiful.. filled with blossoms and beauty you really can't beat it... so if its for a child they will adore it. whom ever did the illustrations should keep drawing outstanding in every sense of the word. beautiful..

This is another coloring book that I bought for my grand daughter for Christmas. The quality on this book is a lot better than the other one I got her. It is a normal size book and the pages are perforated for easy tear out which is good. It is also only printed on one side of the paper which to me is great. The paper is thicker than the other book I got her but I will tell her to check first for bleed through when coloring so to start off with another paper behind it. The pictures are very nice in it. I would say it is not for a beginner though, it has a lot more detail to some of the pictures than other books. I am sure this will be one of her favorite books. You can't go wrong on the price of this one at all.

The media could not be loaded. “Belles and Blossoms” is the first coloring book I have by Krisa Bousquet. The designs are quite lovely with beautiful young women surrounded by lots and lots of flowers. I found that the designs are extremely detailed and have many intricate and small areas to color. While they will be a challenge to color, I found that I enjoyed my first project and have already started my next one.The designs have a swirling motion to them with layers and layers of detail. I used a variety of coloring pencils and ultra-fine markers to color all the tiny parts. I usually prefer a blank background for my project and I was really pleased with how my first one turned out utilizing the white space.This is what I found in going through this coloring book:31 Detailed and Intricate Designs featuring women and flowersPrinted on one side of white pagePage is white, slightly rough, and perforatedGlue BoundDesigns stop before the perforationAlcohol and water based markers bleed through to some degreeGel pens and India ink pens leave shadows of color on the back of the pageColoring pencils work well with this standard Creative Haven paper. Soft lead lays down good color, layers and blends well. Hard lead pencils leave dents on the back of the page.In order to preserve the rest of the book, I will either use a blotter page below the page I am working on or I will remove the page at the perforations before coloring.

Where some of Creative Haven's books are very simple designs, Belles and Blossoms is the most complicated and elaborate book I have seen in the range. While beautiful, the artwork was far too complex for me to want to colour more than one or two of the pages, so I gifted the book to somebody else with better eyesight and only kept a few pages for myself. Each page depicts a young woman in various poses, surrounded by a plethora of blossoms and foliage. You will need fineliners or very sharp pencils to be able to colour the tiny spaces in the designs, and I hope you have a lot of patience. As with all of Creative Haven's books, the pages are single-sided and perforated so you can easily remove them from the book for colouring or display, which given the level of difficulty in these pages is a very good thing - you're going to want to be able to get at the page from all angles to be able to colour such complicated designs.

Oh, Boy! If you like lovely women coloring books as much as I do, you are gonna be very excited with this book. Every page has a very lovely woman on it. Each page has a boutifull floral frame as well as flowers in the womens clothes and hair.The cover is a great indicator of what's inside the book. There are colored pictures on the inside of both the front and back covers, so beautiful, as an example of coloring combination choices. Each of the pages has been perforated for easy removal. The paper is bright white and of a decent thickness. This is a Creative Haven book, so it is the same paper as the other Creative Haven books.This is a book for the detail loving colorers. Every page is repleat full of flowers in various sizes. Some have the flowers framing the womans face, others have them framing the entire woman. The backgrounds are very full, so there is very little white left to finish. Each woman is wearing a full length dress and most of those are covered in florals. A couple of the women have hair with more flowers showing than hair! There is not one picture that isn't interesting. Women holding bouquets, walking through fields of flowers, even one sitting by a tree reading.I have not had the time to color one of the pictures yet, but I will add any that I do complete.Let me reassure you. You will not find a single picture that you are not dying to color right this minute. I personally love coloring flowers, green leaves, and trees. AND, this book also has all of these.Thanx, Mindy

I enjoyed this book as there are many different shapes and the unique pictures are fun to watch as they evolve with the different colors. I really like the quality of the paper, it doesn't bleed through and the designs are crisp and clear. I really enjoy Creative Haven's wide selection of subjects, the paper quality and the perforated sides.

So glad I purchased this book. The designs are intricate and have a boho feel. Pretty flowers and patterns. We had a coloring night and everyone loved this book. The pages are perforated, which is always a plus. Recommend!
