Review: Manic Botanic Coloring Book
Well not to happy with this one. First let me say that the drawings are beautiful. The pages are packed with drawings, but there are two things I don't like . The first is that the lines on drawings are thick and dark, not much space to color in them. Some areas almost look like blobs of black lines. Sometimes you can't tell what belongs to what. Second and most important to me is the quality of paper the coloring book is made of. The cover is of thinner paper then what I am used to. The pages are thin and when you color the color does not blend nicely, you can see the grainy areas no matter how much you color over it. Even when I use the blending color pencils it does not work like I expect it. All in all I will not color in it again. Whoever leaves me a comment on this post I will send coloring book to them for free. That way they can try it and see if they still like it.

Review: Gel Pens
Gel pens 100 of them is that enough? Most likely no you can never have enough. Michaels sells a cylinder off 100 gel pens that include neon, metallic, regular and glitter pens. Its $50 but you can use your 40% and 50% discount.
Costco also sells 100 Gel pens for about $20 which come out in August which are great too.

Review: Kohinoor Woodless Pencils
These pencils come in 12 and 24 piece box. They come in plastic sturdy tray great for storing. They are made without the outside wood. It has beautiful colors and its smooth when you use them. Pencils have a long lasting point and stay sharp longer then the other wood pencils. They are economical about $25 a box.

Review: Kaiser Colour Gel Pens
This boxed Kaiser Colour set of gel pens come in a 24 pack. Twelve are neon pens and the other twelve are glitter pens. They are very fine point, great for the tiny lines and spaces. I looked all over the plastic box that it comes in to find size of point but nowhere to be found but I can guess that it is around 0.3cm.
I really enjoy using these pens, they glide smoothly especially the glitter ones. I wish they had more variety of colors. I would love to see the glitter pens sold separately.

Review: Crayola Colored Pencils
This review is of the most inexpensive good quality pencils Crayola. These pencils were the first pencils I owned before I branched out for other brands. Let me say that the colors are vibrant and they have from 12 piece to 462 pieces ranging in price from $2 to $70 respectfully. They color smooth but do not blend well. I love that they have fun names for every color in their collection. They are made for children but great for someone who wants to try coloring for first time. I personally love them. You can get them anywhere. Here are a few pictures.

Review: Steampunk Coloring Book
This inexpensive coloring book made by Creative Haven has some awesome drawings in a steampunk style. The quality of the paper is very good considering that you can purchase book for about $6 to $8 dollars depending where you buy it. It has about 30 pages of beautiful drawings. They sell many different themes. So there is plenty for everyone. I have not colored a page in this book yet because I want to get better at shading to do so. Take a peek at a page from book .
Review: Blending and Burnisher Pencils
This review is for blending pencils and burnishing pencils. Blending pencils are a colorless pencil that you would rub on already colored areas. It helps in blending the colors together and softens the area without using mineral oil or baby oil. I have used two brands Derwent and Prismacolor pencils.
Derwent Colorless pencils work nicely. Pencil come in a pack of two and you can also get it with two burnisher pencils, price is about $10 to $15 for the four pencils somewhat. They have a chalky consistency when being used. What I don't like is that it lets go of a lot of powdery chalky residue that will stain your page. If that happens you would need to use your eraser and erase the area to try to clean it as best as you can. I am using a small brush that is for cleaning cameras and the mess is minimal.
Prismacolor Colorless pencils is a blending pencil that comes is a pack of two. The price range is about $10 or less, shop around. Now I like this pencil better then the Derwent because its less messy. It works the same and its less waste.
Burnisher Colorless pencils is a blending pencils that gives a subtle shine to the surface of your paper. You can use it before or after the page is colored. If you use it before it will prevent you from coloring in the area you used the burnisher pencil even if you color over that area with a colored pencils. If you use it after it gives it a shine to your work as a wrote above. You use over the area then rub your thumb or finger over it and it will bring the shine. I like to use it on my fish or bird pages. I can only tell you about one brand because I have not seen any other company who sell it.
Derwent Burnisher Colorless pencil works great on all your pages. It is not messy like the blending pencil. It comes in packs of two or accompanied with blending pencils see above.

Review: Lost Ocean Coloring Book
This book is packed with beautiful drawings created by Johanna Basford she is well known in the
adult coloring world for her 1st book Secret Garden and Enchanted Forest which I will review later in my blog. There is fun drawings of many under water creatures and many mandala type creations too. The book is packed with gorgeous animals to color. The book is well made and of great quality. The paper is of card stock thickness so there is no bleeding through paper. It is around 9x8 in size and has at least 70 pages of goodness. Also all her books include a 4 page poster spread of an awesome drawing at the back of book that you can remove and frame. I have included pages that I have colored throughout my blog of this book. Hope this helps in your decision of purchasing.

Review: Mandala Coloring Books
This review is about Mandala Coloring Books I own. I love this book it is full of beautiful intricate mandalas. Most of all my completed mandala pages are from this book. See previous post.
The book is of great quality paper, thick enough that it won't bleed through regardless what you use gel pens, markers or pencils. Its 9x8 and has over 90 pages of gorgeous mandalas.
This other book is of the same quality as of the book above. The lines of the drawings is thinner and smaller detail. It is the same size. Has about the same amount of pages.
