I am glad to share my free coloring book that was inspired by chip carving – an ancient craft that combines geometric shapes into intricate patterns. The book includes coloring patterns of trees, flowers, nature scenes and mandalas.

This coloring book is good for both kids and adults; the patterns are grouped by “Easy”, “Medium” and “Hard” levels. The book contains 11 never-published-before patterns and I hope to add more patterns over time; bookmark this page, you will find more coloring patterns here soon. Aside from coloring, most patterns in this book could also be used as chip carving patterns.

Chip carving most often uses triangles and less often lines, rectangles and other shapes. Repetition of triangles of various shapes and sizes generates an unlimited number of entangled elements that can be used to decorate flat surfaces such as benches, cutting boards, spoon handles, coasters, etc.

Rosettes and rings — circular combinations of triangles — play a major role in chip carving. Rosettes are similar to mandalas — they have a center point and usually round but rosettes can also be any shape, even rectangular.

Rosette Examples

Coloring patterns is a relaxing and rewarding activity. Print the patterns on your favorite paper and enjoy your coloring time. You may also print the patterns on vinyl and make colorful stickers, coasters, gift cards or picture frames.

Special thank you goes to my friend Tianhao who suggested similarities between coloring and chip carving patterns. That was a wonderful idea. Thank you!
