Wonders of Creation coloring Bible

 

 

 

I love all things coloring and all things journaling. I couldn’t wait to receive the NIV Wonders of Creation Bible. I have an adult coloring book that is called Wonders of Creation and this looked similar. I was correct. It is basically some of the same illustrations.

I have several journaling bibles and coloring bibles. I love them all and the Wonders of Creation Bible is no different. I love it too.  I will say this is not a journaling bible there isn’t anywhere to journal at all so just know it is only a coloring bible. One thing that specifically stuck out to me is the pages that are coloring pages are much thicker than you expect in a bible. I really like this about this bible, the pages are almost as thick as card stock. Some of my coloring bibles the pages are so thin you can see through them. I wish more publishers would make the coloring pages thicker.

The images are quite whimsical not realistic looking animals and but very fun. The spaces are larger and not so intricate that it would make it difficult to color. I haven’t tried yet but I’m thinking a water based marker would probably work without bleeding but test to make sure. There is a bible verse included with each picture so that you can ponder the Word as you color and relax. There are over 50 pages to color.

I would think this would make an excellent bible for a teen or pre-teen girl. The lettering of the bible is quite small I have a hard time reading it without readers. The bible isn’t a study bible of sorts, there are no notes or study verses as you go. There are no reference pages or concordance included. If those things are important to you then you may want to stay clear of this bible. Otherwise I found this bible enjoyable.

I received this bible at no charge from www.booklookbloggers.com in exchange for an honest review.

Doodletopia Fairies

 

I chose to add Doodletopia Fairies to my collection. I already own two others by Christopher Hart and really loved them so when this opportunity arose I couldn’t resist. I love the step by step instructions he includes in his books they are very easy to follow and are great for those who want to learn to draw.

In Doodletopia Fairies he has included so many impish characters that look so fun to draw. There are female and male characters.  The book begins with drawing heads and accessories then leads into different bodies and poses. Throughout the book he adds details a little at a time to get you used to drawing and adding features as you learn more. I noticed in this book compared to the other two I have there is a little less of background drawings. There is a section at the end that includes cute little fairy houses. I look forward to trying a few of these.

This is another one of those books that I will keep in my collection that I will hopefully end up using to help my children who have an interest to learn to draw.  It is that easy; easy enough for a child or tween to use but not so cutesy that an adult wouldn’t want to use it.

If you have an interest in drawing cartoons, fairies, or just for doodling fun I would suggest this one too. They are very quality productions with thick pages, easy to follow instructions with wonderful illustrations.
