Book Reviews of Mandalas Stained Glass Coloring Book (Dover Design Stained Glass Coloring Book)
Book Review: Beautiful enough to frame
Summary: 5 Stars
The most important thing you should know about this coloring book of mandalas is that each coloring page has a black background, not white. The areas you color in are translucent, so the colors really show through. Also, each mandala is printed the same on both sides of the page, so that either side you look at, it is the same. I color BOTH sides to make the colors very rich and vibrant. I also take a black marker and deepen the black background. Each mandala is then beautiful enough to frame! One more important thing to know is that the pages are a little more glossy than regular coloring books. The best way to color these pages is with a permanent marker, and make sure you have the fine point markers to use, as some of the places in each mandala to color in are very small and require a fine point so you won't mark out of the lines. I do not think crayons would work well at all, simply because you probably cannot get a fine enough point.
A couple of the mandalas are Chinese in theme, with the yin-yang symbol. There is also one mandala that actually has a bodhisattva (Buddhist deity) on it; not sure if it is the Buddha, or Quan-Yin, but it IS Buddhist in nature, if you are interested. Each mandala is really pretty. There is only one in the whole series I did not like, but otherwise, each is it's own work of art.
I can clearly remember owning this very same brand and coloring book back in about 1979 or so---I was just a kid. I remember it because of the black backgrounds and how painstaking I found it to color in as an impatient child. Maybe this is not the best coloring book AT ALL for a child, but for someone older, a teen or adult. I am a 42 year old woman who is disabled recently, and was looking for something relaxing I can do while in recovery. I was thrilled to find Dover still made these coloring books!
If you are very crafty, you could cut each mandala out after you've colored it in, and seal it in with a spray-seal or with some kind of laminating sheets, hand each one with an invisible string on some wires, and make a beautiful colored mobile out of these. Or just hang them in a window.
