Definitely a lovely whimsical book. I think the image you questioned about whether they were cats amongst the flowers, are actually otters judging by the small round ears. Happy colouring!
Hey Karen. Thanks for doing this review. I have seen many reviews of this book. However, I didn’t decide to buy it until after I saw your review. I love your reviews. You tell a story and give ideas how to bring the pictures to life. I just purchased it from Amazon US. 😊 I would like to see any color along in this book. Tfs
I am so enchanted with this book! The illustrations are all so whimsical and the level of detail in the elements is just right. I also think it's a perfect coloring book for the holidays - so many fun adventures in all the pages! Can't wait to do a color along in this one with you! ❤
I found the paper challenging too, polychromos tend to skid on the surface, but Albrecht Durer worked better dry, and I could activate and then go over again. Inktense was great used wet in wet, Neocolor II were harder to get smooth surfaces than with some others say Hanna Karlzon paper. It’s going to be fun watching colour alongs to see what you come up with!!
Thanks so much for sharing your experience, Catherine 💞It's really helpful to hear how different pencils perform on that paper. I'll definitely do some experiments and see what works best for me. I'll be sure to share the results 😁
I don’t have this book ( yet) but I’d LOVE to watch you do a color along in it!❤ it’s beautiful and whimsical. I love fairy tales. We can hear the excitement in your voice which honestly makes it even more inspiring ❤ thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much, Louise! I’m really glad you enjoyed the review. 😊 That’s so interesting about the glass toadstools as Christmas decorations in the UK-I’ve never seen that before! I’d love to do another colour along in this book soon, most likely testing out different pencil brands next! 🎄🍄
I found an issue with paper with several different sets. Had problems blending/several layers. Basing with Ohuhu Maui waterbased markers helped a great deal. The paper is very thick so I didn't experience any bleed through issues.
I can’t wait for a color along with you in this book!!
I would love to see a color along! Anything in the book. There are so many wonderful pages.
I agree too many beautiful pages to choose from. But I managed to narrow it down, and there's a colour along coming very soon 💞

I have this book Karen, can’t wait for a colour along so many lovely pages 😊💕
This is a cute book Karen and I like the tea pot!😍💖
Thanks for sharing. I didn't start my journey until after the book was out of print either so this all feels brand new to me
It certainly is a beautiful book. Received my copy earlier last month.
I would love to see the frog and candle page as a Helloween colour along 🎃 this would be great ✨
I would love to see you do a few of pages from this book. It's beautiful 😍
Thanks Shelley, I’m working one as we speak 🥰
Can’t wait to follow a colour along with you in this book, great review . We have glass toadstools as Xmas decorations here in the U.K. 😊

Re ordered another book from qbd as one from amzon the gold rubbed off bent where fold parts are. It's stunning boom I absolutely love it.

Have you tried Chromaflows yet hun? Someone else has commented that those worked well for them. I’m thinking of trying inktense too.
I will say that my Lumies preformed best out of all my sets. My Polys just like smushed off the paper when trying to blend.
So far my polys are working great over the top of inktense. Haven't tried them on their own yet 🤞🏼
@mycolourfulcountrylife yes, Sägolikt
❤
I would love to see you do a page with poly chromos.
Thankns Barbara, working on one as we speak 😁❤️🤗
