Book of Mandala

Coloring and creating art is a great way to pass time for kids and adults alike. Coloring is yoga for your mind and soul and it is my favorite method to pass time and relax from time to time. The pages from this printed book can be used to frame on your wall as a masterpiece or to give it to someone special as a gift. Perhaps, use it to pass your time during a boring class or meeting. You can use pencil colors, markers, and many more variations along with my personal favorite tools, Sakura Micron pens and Staedtler fineliners.
