I'd managed to somehow stay off of the 'adult coloring book' bandwagon until now, mostly because I regularly will pick up a 'kiddie' coloring book at a drugstore with a box of crayons and go to town. However, when I was given the opportunity to get a copy of The Time Garden I couldn't resist any longer. And boy am I glad I gave in!
This book is so gorgeous I'm almost afraid to touch it. The crisp whiteness, and shiny foil of the cover would make a stylish wall print on its own, never mind the super intricate line work illustrations inside. Seriously, some of Song's work makes my jaw drop in awe.
I especially adore how Song intertwined a story about a curious little girl climbing into a cuckoo clock to discover a magical land inside with the actual pages to color.
Colored pencils, or fine tip markers seem to be the optimal fit for the intricacy on some of the pages; though I will have to test the paper to be certain if markers or felt pens would be a doable option without bleeding through to the flip side's illustration.
All in all, I love this coloring book in every way!
