Ming-Ju SunCreative Haven Fabulous Fashions of the 1960s Coloring Book: Relaxing Illustrations for Adult Colorists (Adult Coloring Books: Fashion)

Great book. Enjoyed each page.

The media could not be loaded.  I have a number of Ming-Ju Sun’s fashion coloring books and am always pleased to pick up another one. I was particularly interested in this book as it reminded me of when my oldest sister was dressing up during that period.The only small nits I have with the book is that the fashion trends of that decade spanned the gamut of Jackie Kennedy’s classic and demure fashions to the mod scene of London with hip hugger skirts, wide belts and scoop neck t-shirts to the hippie scene of San Francisco with other notable fashion trends in between.I would have loved to have seen some of the big color block fashions of the mod look but that seems to have been missing from the book, though it had a huge impace on society with the mini-skirt that models just as Twiggy sported.Many of the fashions are represented but with lots of flowers and motif prints that Ming-Ju Sun is noted for but missing the style of prints that were actually used on the fabric of that time. I remember getting my first pair of double-knit polyester bell-bottoms as a little girl and how heavy they were to wear!Apart from those nits, I am really enjoying the book. It does recall memories and I will enjoy coloring the book. However, if I could, I would leave a 4.5 star instead of a 5 star review because of those issues.The designs are detailed though not really intricate to speak of. Even with the high level of detail on the clothing, the designs are easy to color and don’t require special, small nib or small brush tips to work with.This is what I found in this coloring book and how my coloring medium works with Creative Haven books.31 1960’s style clothing esigns included in the bookThe designs are printed on one side of the pagePaper is the usual Creative Haven quality: white, medium weight, slightly rough and has perforated pagesGlue Binding but with perforated pages so removing a page is fairly simpleThe designs do not cross over the perforationsAlcohol-based markers bleed through the pageWater-based markers bleed through in spots and show colorful shadows on the back of the pageGel pens and India ink pens leave shadows of color on the back of the page. India ink pens can bleed through when I apply more than one layer of ink.Coloring pencils work well with Creative Haven paper. I am able to get good pigment (color) lay down, layer the same color and multiple colors and to blend easily using a pencil style blender. Both oil and wax-based pencils have similar results. Hard lead pencils, like Verithins, leave dents on the back of the page.I suggest either removing pages from the book to color or using a blotter page under your working page. I like card stock as it keeps ink from seeping through and damaging the pages below.

Love it so I bought several other ones

This book was challenging and fun.

Ms. Ming-Ju Sun always pleases me with her excellent illustrations and attention to detail. I greatly enjoyed coloring the well-drawn, nicely sized fashion pictures in this coloring book. The pictures are only on one side of the page, so greatly reduces the risk of bleed through; although I always put a blank sheet of paper between as a safety precaution--I don't think it was really necessary.I always look forward to every coloring book Ms. Sun puts out. This was wonderful and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys coloring.There are lots of detail and design in every fashion picture--but one can easily color as much detail or not as they wish and still have a lovely picture.I used block chalk and markers in doing mine.

This was a fun book to color. I highly recommend it.

Creative Haven coloring books are the benchmark that I compare all coloring books to. There just isn't a better brand out there. Paper is AMAZING, drawings are printed on one side, and the pages are perforated. They are a steal at $5.99 and a lot of times you can get them on sale.The Fashion series by Ming-Ju Sun is my favorite. This particular book is my favorite so far of the series. I love everything about these drawings! BEAUTIFUL and fun with plenty of room for your own creativity.

I have had numerous coloring books illustrated by Ming-Ju Sun and I think she is the very best. With some exceptions her work is always exquisitely detailed making it very fun to color. Her best are the Japanese coloring books she does. Thanks to the publisher the drawings are on only one side of the page so you can use both sides. The newer ones are perforated so you can tear them out.This one, on the 1960's has the same quality detail and is so much fun.

Bien reçu, très beau livre, merci

Desenhos muito interessantes, como todos os livros de colorir da Creative haven.E eu tenho alguns lindos!

I buy a lot of books from this seller, he’s honest, quick posting, as described. He’s well recccommended.

Si te gusta pintar moda y flores delicadas te gustarà este libro,basado en moda de los años 60 y 70. Muy recomendable como todos los de esta autora,aunque no entiendo porque no lo tiene amazon españa. Sale mas caro que otros de la misma autora.

certaines dirons qu'il y a trop de fleurs, mais pour ma part cela ne me gène pas; les modèles année 60 sont très beaux et me font replonger à cette époque que je retrouve des ces modèles. très bien.
