Reviews
I love Ming-Ju Sun's fashion coloring books from Creative Haven and from Dover. I am really glad to see a more modern fashion book as most of my other ones are from much older periods. I am reminded of playing Barbie and Ken with my older sisters when I look at these fashions. While it was much later than the 1950's we still had fashions from that period in our toy boxes. I am also reminded quite a bit of watching “Happy Days”. I know that I will have a lot of fun both coloring them and thinking back to my memories. It's funny how stylish and chic the styles look even today.There are 31 designs in this coloring book which are printed on bright white perforated paper that is a fairly heavy stock. The designs are printed on one side of the page only. The binding is glued but that isn't an issue with Creative Haven because of the great perforated pages. All of the designs stop well before the bound edge. The designs all have “frames” around them which creates a natural stopping point for my coloring. I really appreciate this care in design as it saves me ink and gives my finished project a more polished look.All of my gel pens and markers bleed through on Creative Haven books to varying degrees (some wick right through while others leave a “shadow” of color on the backside. Not a problem as the back of each page is blank so no other design will be ruined. My preference is to use chipboard but I can use heavyweight paper or card stock below the page I am working on (if I am keeping it in the book) or under the page if I remove it from the book.
