Moorish: 70 designs to help you de-stress (Coloring for Mindfulness)

It's so pretty even without color!! So many designs that I think it'll take 3 times longer than other coloring books... But pls notice, the paper is not thick enough and is double-side printed, sometimes the patterns are too tiny to color it...

I love this book. Tons of pretty cat pictures. A lot of the patterns on the cats repeat (same pattern on a different cat pose/ or larger or smaller), or same cat and pattern big on one page, mirrored and small on another. I like this since I get to color patterns I love several times. I can play with coloring inside the pattern, or the "outline" area, or both. (Sort of seen in pics)If you want something totally new on each and every page (all new patterns/ poses) then this probably isn't the book for you. It does have tons of super fine details (itty itty bitty) that will be difficult to color without super fine markers or very sharp pencils. Easy enough on the bigger pages, but when they shrink the design for a smaller cat, it gets hard. This may be stressful if you like to be super perfect and inside the lines always in your coloring. The lines do get a little pixelated at times as well. But just a little bit, and it's not nearly as noticeable once colored.Pages are double sided. Copic markers are visible from the other side, Stabilo markers only sometimes are visible from the other side. Non-issue with colored pencils.All in all, I'm having a ton of fun coloring this book! It may not be for everyone, but I'm a huge cat lover, and just loving this playful, fun, and whimsical coloring book.

Lots of beautiful images for the price. Very detailed and unique. Many times books have a very detailed cover - implying the images inside are just as detailed - then only a handful of intricate images are inside the book and the rest are simplistic. Not the case here. All 70 images are gorgeous and detailed making this one of the nicest adult coloring books I've found. However, it may not be for everyone. As some of the other reviewers claimed there is some downside. First, you MUST be prepared to deal with very small spaces. Probably fine-tip markers or gel pens would work best, so be sure that you have steady hands and good eyes. I can't see this being a good choice for colored pencils or thicker markers or for people who have trouble with smaller images. (the book is about 8"x 8" so is not full size). Secondly, and probably the biggest problem, is that the images are printed on both sides of the rather thin paper. If you pick one image to color you will likely bleed thru and ruin the image on the other side. The publisher needs to correct this problem as it is likely the biggest downside of purchasing this book. However, if you have a home printer, just go out and purchase a cheap flip booklet of drawing paper. Use the drawing paper as printer paper and simply remove each page from this coloring book - the pages are in "pad" format so are meant to rip out and detach easily. You can then print each image onto it's own drawing paper and trim accordingly. I found that if I print the image in black and white photo-quality and a bit on the darker side I get a perfect image...anything less and the copy is too light..... so you may need to experiment with your printer to find the right mix. Then I just trim the drawing paper to the right size and I'm good to go and can use whatever medium I like. This also has the advantage of putting the image on better quality paper. Given that I can print off all 70 images and will have hours of finely detailed enjoyment this book is well worth the price for anyone who doesn't mind putting in the extra bit of effort to get the most out of it.

These pictures are lovely. Why on earth are they printed on both sides of the paper? This makes it impossible to use markers or pens without losing half the pictures. What a silly thing to do to an otherwise outstanding collection.

The designs are intricate and lovely, especially the all-over patterns!And the stand-alone cat faces are especially nice, with a very finished look to them.The whole-body silhouettes, though, I'm not as fond of. The all-over patterns used are merely clipped at the edges of the cats, with no defining line to detail the boundary. For me, that makes them feel somewhat unfinished, even after coloring, and it's why I like the face patterns better.Still, it's a lot of fun, and great for cat lovers! While the pages can be detached, they do not seem to fall out easily when thats not what you want- and the back of the book is a nice, stiff cardboard so it can be used anywhere.

This is by far my favorite coloring book of all of them that I have purchased for myself. I love the fine detail and the different patterns, even though my hand does start to cramp when I'm working on the pictures with my pens. I don't normally like double-sided coloring books, but this one is different than most. The pages are made from a heavier paper, so there is no worry about bleeding through. I like the smaller size of this book, I also like that it lies flat.My only complaint is that the binding on a couple of the pages has given out already. So now my book is in 3 pieces, But it's not the end of the world. I just have to be careful while I'm deciding which picture to color next. I've included one of my completed pages from this book with this review. I would love to buy more books like this one!

I have only completed one picture from this book and have just re-ordered it!! The down side is the double-sided prints, I do not like that, but the choices are so pretty, I will just get copies of what I want more of! I also love that the book is mounted on a heavy, thick, cardboard, I can hold it alone and color.The pictures are of the completed picture and the one I am doing now. I have never added pictures of my work, so this shows how much I like this book!

This is just amazing. All the pictures are so different and I've even used them to make cards for family members despite the fact I'm nearly 30! Mum loved hers! Hours of enjoyment!

Good colouring book for anyone that loves cats. The paper is quite thick and I have been able to use markers without any bleed through. I keep this on my desk and have a go for five or ten minutes when I need a quick break. The pictures are lovely and go from quite basic shapes and scribbles to very intricate and detailed, so should be something for everyone.

Just discovered adult colouring - have quite a stressful job and never seem able to switch my brain off - but colour for even 10 mins really helps. Love just picking a coloured pencil up and picking a shape to colour. These are greata cats to colour in and it will take me ages to complete the book. The paper is thick enough for the colours not to show through on the following design. I like to use pencils and even pressing hard around a shape to outline does not show through. I really wish I had known about this hobby years ago

I bought this is a Christmas present for a friend. It's a great gift for those who love to colour and also love cats.It comes with 70 unique designs for you to colour, and they all have perforated edges, so you can tear them out to display/share.I also really love that the paper is of a great quality. Would highly recommend.

This way my first adult colouring book that I got to try as I heard that colouring can help you zone out of pain, I suffer from chronic pain so I thought I'd give it a try.I'm so glad this was my first book, it's beautifully illustrated and I lovery how the designs take shape as you are colouring. The paper quality is really good too, I used fineliners and I never experienced bleed through. The pages easily pull out. I would definitely recommend this book
