Art Therapy: Mandalas: 100 Designs for Colouring in and Meditation

This is a coloring book with many beautiful images. Some of the images are traditional mandala designs and others are repetitive designs that are elemental features that you would use in drawing a complete mandala. I would have given this 5 stars except that there are some practical features that are less than ideal for me. I prefer coloring books with the design on one side of the page only in order to prevent bleed through and the designs in this book are printed on both sides of the page. The pages are a nice thickness but will not prevent bleed through of permanent markers like Sharpies and alcohol ink markers like Copics. The book is bound inside thick cardboard covers which gives the book a rigid surface on which to color, however, the size of the book makes it impractical to turn while coloring. I like to turn mandalas as I am working on them, so this feature is a drawback for me. When comparing this coloring book to the less expensive kinds available, the quality of the paper, binding, size, number of images, and quality of design make it superior.

These books are absolutely beautiful. I purchased one as a gift and it was so nice I ordered four more for other people! Very well-made and the pages are beautiful.

I have not started coloring yet and also bought a second one as a gift.

perfect variation in pictures to color in, love hardcover.

Very fun and relaxing to color. Beautiful designs !!!

very happy with purchase

Great!

Love it

This is not my favourite book to colour. my main issues are the hard cover making it very hard to open the book flat enough to colour.its double sided printing, where i prefer single sided prints, some of the sections are far to small but i know some people would prefer this.On first opening the book i noticed loose black ink in patches on the pages these i had to wipe off with kitchen roll on almost every page, possibly a printing problem.I have now put this book away and will probably not pick up again to colour.

this is a lovely colouring book for us adults . the paper is good quality . the print is also nice , not to thick print . some are very intense where you have to concentrate hard which i love as i go in a different world . not one of the best mandala book ive done but its still good . if you purchase this book i hope you chill out with a nice cuppa and let your stressful day go away :-)

Another great book in the 'Art Therapy 100 Designs For Colouring In and Relaxation' series. Great detail in the mandalas. (In the same series is 'Buddhism' - that is superb also.

This book is great! I love it - it has lots of beautiful images in it - I wud deffinatly reccomend if u love colouring like me :)

Highly addictive & relaxing. The quality of the paper and the book on general is very good.
