A coloring book of birth flowers and birthstones for each of the 12 months, drawn as fantasy scenes of flowers and jewels. The credited artists are Mari Katogi and Mayumi Wakabayashi.
The pictures range from basic birth flower and birthstone designs to larger, more detailed works, plus a special coloring section. The outlines are designed so that the jewels look real even with simple coloring. A lesson with step-by-step photos shows how to color white flowers, clear gemstones and the shine of jewelry.
Color samples are included for all the basic pictures and for many of the larger works, with notes on choosing colors. The book also gives the flower and gemstone meanings for each month, stories about them from around the world, and facts about jewelry such as gemstone cuts. Buyers can download original coloring cards with seasonal designs for events such as graduation, summer greetings, Halloween, Christmas and New Year.
