Coloring Pages Blog

Did you realize there are 387 images (not counting some that are duplicated in two sizes) at Color-Your-Own.com? I just sorted them all into folders by subject preparing to have them made into coloring books you can download. Whew. What a job. Here’s the breakdown:

21 bird coloring pages
31 cat coloring pages
23 Christmas coloring pages
2 Dinosaur coloring pages (gotta work on that)
84 Dog coloring pages
7 Coloring pages for spring/easter/St. Patricks day combined
14 Fairy or fantasy coloring pages
14 Farm animal coloring pages
5 Fish (or related animals) coloring pages
11 Flowers/Trees/Plants coloring pages combined
13 Halloween coloring pages
79 Horse coloring pages
3 coloring pages for Independence Day
16 coloring pages of “other pets” (tarantulas, rats, mice, guinea pigs and so on)
14 coloring pages of people (more if you count all the horses with riders – I only included a few of those)
5 coloring pages of places or landmarks
21 coloring pages of Ponies
6 Rainbow coloring pages
6 Thanksgiving coloring pages
22 pages in a folder I called “Western Life” – wildlife, bull riders, barrel racers, things you see around here
62 items in Wildlife or Zoo animals

Yes – that adds up to more because some drawings are included in more than one subject – like the puppy with the turkey leg who is in dogs and Thanksgiving and the Prezwalski horses which I included in Zoo Animals and Wildlife as well as in Horses.

Still more to do – many images will have to be renamed to get them to come up in a proper alphabetical order so I can also create Tables of Contents with page numbers. I probably will not bother creating coloring books for those folders with less than 10 drawings in them. I’m sure in a year or two I’ll have to be creating Vol.2 for certain subjects like dogs and horses that I do a lot of and we’ll see about having enough for those smaller subjects then. It just occurred to me I should write an artist friend of mine about doing some dinosaurs – he’s really good at them. Way better than I am.

I think I might have some kind of giveaway or contest for copies of the little book with just the ten most popular images that I had Jim create for me as the test booklet for a promotion when the others are all ready to go.

I haven’t even begun to redo the pages and change over the advertising yet. Right now, I think I’m going to take a break and go work on my jigsaw puzzle for a while.

Laters!
