The real Follymops is a Cavalier King Charles spaniel who lives in a restored 17th century hunting lodge in the south of France. Mini-Follymops, your tour guide in this coloring book, lives in a miniature chateau built by Sausalito artist Suze Perry-Hinkle, inspired by the actual Chateau Bidaine. The images of this dollhouse miniature are full of fantastic details that will delight miniature-lovers, dollhouse enthusiasts, Cavalier King Charles spaniel fans, and artists both young and young-at-heart. The 39 sketches-to-color in this book are made from photographs of the miniature building, and retain some of the original shading and textures. The sketches have the detail that advanced colorers are looking for, with the added advantage of being very forgiving for those who are equally enthusiastic but less skilled. The shading already in the sketches comes through when you use colored pencils, so you can just apply color, or add more shading if you're in the mood. Perfect for low-tech "de-stressing," with a beautiful result from a variety of skill levels. Captions in this "coloring storybook" show Follymops and her friends around the estate, telling a little bit about the quirky owners as well as indulging mini-Follymops' imagination. The result is an enchanting coloring experience for children and adults alike. We recommend this book for ages 8 and up, but we have found detail-oriented 6 and 7-year-olds enjoying this book when they thought no one was looking.
