My husband and I have started using Adult Coloring Books as a way to de-stress. I know that many crafts use the same part of the brain that one uses in meditation, so I wasn't surprised to read that many other adults were turning to coloring. I have bought several different types of books and I find that I like a lot of the ones by Creative Haven/Dover. I have found that my non-alcohol based markers and my gel pens all leak through this brand of book, so I am sure to place paper between the pages to keep the pages behind fresh and clean. I've found that freezer paper works really well for this purpose.The pages of the book are single-sided and are perforated at the bound edge so you can remove the page to color or to frame afterwards. The pages are a bright white and have a decent pound weight - they are not flimsy.This is the second Creative Haven book by Marjorie Sarnat (her first has been one of my favorite - Cats.) This book of Owls is now tied for for my top honors. There are 31 images to color (if you don't include the small faceplate on the title page.) The images have a wide range, including: an owl sitting on a wildly decorated crescent moon, an owl with butterflies, a "smart" owl amongst his/her books, owls on a wooden rocking horse, pirate owls, fairy tale owl, totem pole owls, steampunk owl, the owl and the pussycat (yes, cat included!) and many, many more.These illustrations are so lovely, I plan to do each and every one of them. I love that the Ms. Sarnat has used such wild colors in her artwork - I plan to color these with just that kind of abandon.

Marjorie Sarnat has created another stunning and imaginative coloring book. She has filled this book with Charming Owls that entrance you and entwined them with intricate, captivating, unparalleled combinations of patterns, embellishing the backgrounds, scenery, borders, and even adorning the Owls creating illustrations that will make this your favorite coloring book, and you won’t be able to put it down.Every single Illustration is Captivating and will inspire you. This book is a must have for your coloring library. A perfect gift for Adults, college students and school aged children.1. 31 illustrations printed one per page (the back of each page is blank) on bright white, heavy weight paper, perforated paper for easy removal of pages for framing or painting.2. The paper is a joy to color on, Crayons, Colored pencils, Watercolor Pencils, Markers and Gel pens lay down smoothly and brightly.3. All Markers and Gel Pens leak through the pages so place two pieces of paper under the page you are coloring to prevent damage to the next page.4. If you love this book, you will also want to look at Marjoie Sarnats first coloring book (Creative Haven Cats).5. This is a wonderful book for experimenting with color, texture, and techniques.

This is a really cute and charming coloring book perfect for owl aficionados and colorists who like quirky pictures. This reminds me of a mash up of one of Johanna Basford's books and Amy Weber's Curious Creatures. I plan to color with Staedtler fibre tips and Fineliners, as well as colored pencils.As always with Creative Haven coloring books, the pages are single sided and perforated, and will need a paper buffer between pages when using markers.

Since I'm unable to upload any pictures of the pages, here are a few descriptions:Mama Owl and owlet on a branch, lots of floral and leaf detail, sun shining.Owl on a crescent moon, lots of peace signs & yin-yang, & celestial bodies.Gorgeous owl with wings spread, flying among some butterflies and flowers.Owl with accompanying crafty owls with button eyes (sounds creepy but is really cute).Hippy owl with a peace sign alongside guitars.Family of owls riding on a rocking horseMr. and Mrs. Owl (or King and Queen?) along with goblets.Nautical owl with ships, shells and sea creatures.Owl with Russian nesting dolls.Royal owl in the foreground and a castle in the backgroundWizardy owl looking into a crystal ball that has a castle inside it.Owl flying among some beautiful kites.Totem pole owl complete with an owl perched on one of the totem wingsOwl surrounded by coins and monetary billsPharmacist owl with tonic & tincture bottlesSteampunk owl, Tarot owl, pinwheel owl, harp owl....You get the idea....so many adorable and whimsical owl pictures! This is a great gift for an owl lover and perfect for yourself if you like to get lost in intricate coloring pages. I've used Sharpie Ultra-points with great results. Will buy many more copies of this coloring book!

Very detailed images. What can I say, I love owls and coloring! A marriage made in Creative Haven!As in another, more detailed review (see Magnificent Mehndi Designs from Creative Haven) these images were created with adults in mind; fine motor skills are a must because there are a lot of small to very small spaces to fill. What makes coloring so stress reducing for me - I have to concentrate on detail on the page and not a lot about anything else - ahh...relaxation for the mind.I use colored pencils, the paper it is printed on is not that thick for watercolors so I don't suggest that, but each page has only one image on one side and the page is perforated so that it can be torn out and colored separately. Crayons, pens, markers and pastels could also be used to color these very detailed pictures. Remember when playing was fun? It's back!An talented artist created these brand new images and Dover Books has struck gold with me in the modestly priced Creative Haven series.Imagine if DaVinci's sketches were available to color..how many more people would have been inspired to be creative and artistic!
