Creative Haven Fabulous Fashions of the 1960s Coloring Book

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

Bought with some pencils for my 93 year old nan to keep her busy in lockdown. She *loved* this book, she decided she was going to finish it, and she did! She loved the retro patterns and used all beautiful bright colours, it kept her focussed and entertained for weeks! Definitely buying her another one when she's finished the one she's on now. As you can see from the pictures she loved showing her designs to me in our Facetime chats 😂

As a teenager in the 60s I felt some nostalgia in my colouring book collection would be fun. This book did not disappoint me. The paper quality is good, with illustrations on one side only, and the art is very good. Often I’ve found that faces and especially hands can be ugly and poorly drawn in adult colouring books but this book is well drawn and the fashions are pretty much 60s - possibly going into early 70s .. but hey it’s not a history book ! Good value and lots of opportunities to produce bright colourful hippie pictures !

Bought for mum as she taken up colouring in this pandemic and loves its, page are nice and colourful going to get myself one I think for christmas.

I really like the Creative Haven books. For me personally they are the best. I looked forward to receiving this book, having all my teanage years through the 1960s. I recognised some of the styles from that period but also felt some were early 1970s aswell. Great book just the same.

I liked the variety of pictures and designs to colour. The paper is a good quality. I found this has helped me and taken my mind off this awful year.

Love this book brings back good memories of the 60's. The clothes were so out their.

The only problem I had with this, is that the pens go through to the back of the page, but not on the next picture if that makes sense.

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 book The designs are printed on one side of the page Paper is the usual Creative Haven quality: white, medium weight, slightly rough and has perforated pages Glue Binding but with perforated pages so removing a page is fairly simple The designs do not cross over the perforations Alcohol-based markers bleed through the page Water-based markers bleed through in spots and show colorful shadows on the back of the page Gel 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.

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.

O livro é maravilhoso, com desenhos lindos para colorir, amei 🥰

Bien reçu, très beau livre, merci
