Twilight Garden Coloring Book: Published in Sweden as Blomstermandala Review: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this Beautiful Book! - I have been wanting this book ever since pictures from "Blomstermandala" started being posted in Facebook Coloring Groups, so I was delighted to see it published for the American market by none other than Gibbs Smith (same publisher who has published Hanna Karlzon for the US market). The book is GORGEOUS and I am so impressed with the gold cloth used on the spine binding, and the depth of rich color on the equally impressive hardcover. According to the Title Page this book is ALSO available in an Artist's Edition and as Postcards, but I'm completely happy with my more 'ordinary' edition. The drawings are crisp, the paper is good quality and of course Maria Trolle's art is whimsical, fun, and imaginative. While there are a few pictures with some small spaces, by and large the coloring space sizes are larger and easily accomodate ALL coloring mediums. The pictures ARE printed double sided, and while there are lots of images to color in the book, many of the double page spreads, as well as a few of the single page drawings DO go into the spine, which will make them difficult to color effectively. I did a little expreimenting and was ABLE to flatten the binding enough to reach those areas though. I would NOT use markers in the book without blotter sheets between the pages, and you will need to be prepared to sacrifice whatever picture is on the backside of a page you are coloring it markers or gellys bled through, so investment in the ARTIST EDITION might be the best option for marker colorists. This is a FABULOUS book though, and well worth adding to my collection of premium coloring books! Review: Beautiful Garden Designs by Maria Trolle – printed on both sides of the page - This is my first coloring book by Maria Trolle. It is by the same publishers who publish Hanna Karlzon's books. It is the same beautiful quality publishing with a hardcover and thick cream pages. Ms. Trolle's designs focus on the garden with lots of flowers and animals. While most of the designs are done with black lines on cream background, there are a few designs which are cream elements on a black background. It makes for a lovely change of pace right in the same coloring book. While the designs in the book are detailed, I would not categorize them as intricate or having areas with extremely small spots to color. Because the book is printed two-sided, I'm being very careful with what I use to color in it. I am avoiding using my alcohol-based markers as those bleed through the page (you can see what my test results were with various medium below.) I've also found that it is a tad difficult to color into the binding area on designs which either cross over (two-page designs) or have elements that merge into the binding. Eighteen of the designs spread across two pages and a couple of the single page designs merge into the border so I don't have issues with the majority of the designs in the book. This is what I found while coloring in this book and testing it with my coloring medium. 90+ pages of lovely garden designs by Maria Trolle Printed on both sides of the page Paper is heavyweight, cream color, somewhat smooth, and non-perforated. A few of the designs have black backgrounds printed on cream paper. Sewn binding which can easily be snipped to remove a number of pages at a time. The binding is the stay-flat style which allows you to open the book somewhat flat without breaking the outer spine. It is still rather difficult to get the book to open flat and takes some effort. Some designs merge into the binding area, especially those which spread across two pages. Alcohol-based markers bleed through the page. If you use these, you will have ink seep through and mar the design on the back of the page. Water-based markers, gel pens and India ink pens do not bleed through the page. Colored pencils work well with the paper. I was able to blend, layer the same and multiple colors using both oil and wax-based pencils with ease. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #72,732 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #11 in Art Antiques & Collectibles #53 in Illustration and Graphic Design #2,558 in Crafts & Hobbies (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (2,556) | | Dimensions | 8.25 x 0.7 x 9.88 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1423647068 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1423647065 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | Gsp- Trade | | Print length | 96 pages | | Publication date | March 21, 2017 | | Publisher | Gibbs Smith | ## Images ![Twilight Garden Coloring Book: Published in Sweden as "Blomstermandala" - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91qI3BYiihL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this Beautiful Book! *by C***E on April 1, 2017* I have been wanting this book ever since pictures from "Blomstermandala" started being posted in Facebook Coloring Groups, so I was delighted to see it published for the American market by none other than Gibbs Smith (same publisher who has published Hanna Karlzon for the US market).

The only thing I would change is putting illustrations on both sides of the page, NOT a good idea. Otherwise, these books are a work of art and if you love to color, you will LOVE these books. I own them all now and am looking forward to the next. ## Frequently Bought Together - Twilight Garden Coloring Book: Published in Sweden as "Blomstermandala" (Gsp- Trade) - Nightfall Coloring Book: Originally Published in Sweden as "Skymningstimman" - Luna Coloring Book --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/40310729-twilight-garden-coloring-book-published-in-sweden-as-blomstermandala](https://www.desertcart.us/products/40310729-twilight-garden-coloring-book-published-in-sweden-as-blomstermandala) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
