Designs for Coloring - The Far East

Designs for Coloring - The Far East by Ruth Heller

If you enjoy the challenge of coloring intricate geometric designs or abstract patterns, this book offers you a bit of everything - with a distinctly Eastern twist. It's filled with designs from various Asian cultures (including China, Japan, and Korea): interlocking decorative patterns as well as stylized flowers and fish. Bold single designs cover some pages; smaller repeated designs on other pages give an overall pattern effect. Created by award-winning artist/designer Ruth Heller,

Designs for Coloring are unique among coloring books. The high-quality paper is suitable for use with crayons, felt-tipped pens, water paints, pencils, or pastels. You can use bold, bright colors or lighter, subtler shades. You may even want to frame an especially pleasing page.

This book is a great addition to a unit study on the Far East, or to enhance a geography lesson!
