Book Reviews of Decorative Tile Designs Coloring Book (Dover Design Coloring Books)
Book Review: Complex designs that challenge and delight
Summary: 5 Stars
This is definitely an adult coloring book due to the intricate designs on nearly every decorative tile image. The beauty that comes from each one has given me great delight. Unfortunately the images are printed back-to-back, but if you use good quality colored pencils, this really isn't a problem. I liken some of the images to the beauty and complexity of high-end Persian rugs; however the patterns do not restrict themselves to that style. A few have a Celtic theme, some geometric, a few are similar to floral-themed stained glass designs, and at least one that strikes me as having an Oriental flair. So there are designs for everyone in this book and one can spend many enjoyable hours making the designs "pop" by adding color to the "tiles."Book Review: Nice array of designs.
Summary: 5 Stars
The pages are pretty think and the design plentiful. I'd copy the pages if you're drawing is as bad as mine. I'm pretty sure an avid drawerer(no? forgive me...)might be able to tackle this bad boy in a weekend. I've started coloring as a stress reliever and it seems to work out well, until work pops up in my head in the middle of drawing inside one of the thin areas. At that point, I furrow my brow and curse slightly under my breath. "Daddy, why are you mad?" "Because daddy can't stay in the friggin lines, sweetheart" I'm kidding. I don't curse in front of my kid. I'm still working on it after a couple months. For 4 bucks, you can't go wrong.Book Review: Exquisite designs...
Summary: 5 Stars
These designs will blow your mind...fantastic job done by this author...spread out over the entire page each design is unique in its complexity...and I always "fall" for complex,sophisticated structures...coloring them was indeed a real challenge for me...blending various color textures(crayola, pencil colors, gel ink, glitter, metallic, highlighters and color pens)weakened a bit the page so some colored designs photos appeared a bit crocked...nonetheless, the experience I had with this book was worth every bit of a time...definitely a coloring book for adults.Book Review: Takes a delicate touch!
Summary: 5 Stars
Prepare to be swept away by the beauty of the images that your color choices will create. The spaces to color are sometimes very small, and require careful work and a steady hand. However, the payoff is immense. These images are beautifully done, and the work you do on them will inspire you.
You may want to photocopy the pages if you wish to display or use each one, since they are printed back-to-back.
Just beautifully done!
Book Review: Super Cool!
Summary: 5 Stars
People who have seen this in my home are totally envious - what a great and relaxing way to spend time and unwind. The designs are mesmerizing, and their complexity means a lot of time you can spend working on these instead of watching television. I got crayons for it, but will have to break out the super fine Berol Prismacolor colored pencils for some of the designs because they're so intricate.
