Here is a beautiful romantic couple kissing on a windswept beach to color for Valentine’s Day or any other romantic occasion.

This Valentine’s Day coloring page is the simplest, most basic line drawing of a heart. Color it, or use it for crafts and other projects.

I know, it still seems early to be posting Valentine’s Day coloring pages to me, too – but crafters and homeschoolers, and anyone planning a homemade Valentine’s Day craft or card knows that you better get started soon!

I know it seems awful early to be drawing Valentine’s Day Coloring Pages – but if you are a homeschooling mom, or a crafter making home made Valentine’s Day crafts you know you are already started looking for Valentine’s Day line art and clip art as well as coloring pages. Here is my first offering of several coloring pages for Valentine’s Day – Baby Cupid with his bow and arrow.

Enjoy!

At last – the coloring books are available!

The Color-Your-Own.com Big Coloring Book

The Color-Your-Own.com Big Coloring Book

At long last – the coloring books you’ve been asking me for are available for sale! Downloadable coloring books with all 360+ realistic line drawings to color for adults and older children – buy the big book with all the drawings, or purchase just the ones you want like all the birds, all the dogs, all the horses. And of course, the uber cool thing about eColoring Books, or Downloadable coloring books, or digital coloring books – depending on what you like to call them – is that you save them on your harddrive and you can print out the whole thing, or just one drawing. You can print out your favorite drawing a dozen times and color it in different colors again and again. And if you use the line art for crafts, it is that much easier to pull it into whatever software program you may need to create your patterns.

I’m really excited – what can I say?

Coming soon – Coloring Books to download – and Dinosaurs!

January 19th, 2010

Lots of big news this week.

Robert Sloan has agreed to create a number of dinosaur coloring pages for Color-Your-Own.com. I am really excited because I draw really LAME dinosaurs and Robert draws GREAT dinosaurs. This will be the first time I have ever asked or even allowed another artist to contribute at Color-Your-Own.com so that’s a bit of a milestone. I’ll be paying him for the art and I’m sure it’s going to be a really good thing for both of us.

The coloring books are done. They’ve actually been done for a week but…yeah, anyway, AHEM – all that awaits now is for me to find a workable payment system that will let me sell them for a price I think makes sense and in a way that (I hope) you will be able to pay and download them instantly. I’ll look into that some more tonight.

If you are actually interested in my LIFE there is a more complete accounting of what has been going on and why I haven’t been around as much lately here at Foovay’s Cauldron – my main blog.

I sat down this morning with every intention of going back to my former habit of drawing a coloring page first thing every morning. I started doing some research on Valentine’s Day to get some ideas and it’s been downhill ever since – LOL. I just might get a coloring page done today yet – it’s only 8 p.m.

Antici-pation

January 7th, 2010

The coloring books have been put together with tables of contents and all that jazz and send off to the magic man of eBook Connections to be zapped into PDF files. Now I have to decide if I want to sell them only as downloadables (that you can print yourself) or if I want to see if Lulu or some other POD publisher might work to make them available either way (in hardcopy or download form).

I’m so excited – squeeeee

Going to work on changing the advertising on a few more pages tonight (boooooring) to keep myself busy.

New Pony Coloring Page and update on Coloring Books

January 4th, 2010

Girl Hugging Pony Free Printable Coloring Page

Here is a coloring page of a girl hugging a pony!

Have you ever wondered if I color my own coloring pages? Well, actually, I do. Many of them are line arts that I drew for an illustration or clip art that I needed for a webpage or a story – and this little girl and her pony are in an origianl fairy tale at Demented-Pixie.com. They were created and colored entirely on the computer – digital art.

On my main blog, Foovay’s Cauldron, you can see the Betta Fish coloring page I printed out and colored with colored pencils. This is part of that first batch of ten files I sent to Jim of eBook Connection to create a sort of “test” coloring book. When I got it back, I printed it out. I must say – I was very favorably impressed.

Which nicely segues into my next subject. The poll results are in. Of eleven votes, six said they would buy and download the smaller one subject coloring books even if they were priced at one dollar each. Five just wanted the big coloring book with all the images. Therefore – I am going to create and offer both the small one subject books and the big one. Renaming the files, creating tables of contents and covers will take up all the rest of my day.

Keep an eye on this blog – I’m going to run a nice little promotion giving that first sample coloring book away for free to celebrate making the coloring books available!

If you spend a lot of time looking for clipart, preferably public domain clip art that you can use for your webpages, blogs, Squidoo lenses, and craft projects – I’ve created a new Squidoo lens that is just for you. Public Domain Clipart lists all of my favorite sources of public domain clip art, that I have discovered in hours and hours of surfing for just the right image over the last ten years. Hope it will help you and perhaps save you a little time!

Tell me what you really want!

January 2nd, 2010

I am in a quandry. I have the images together to create the coloring books. I went to PayPal to see what their pricing structure was like and discovered they charge 30 cents PER transaction. This means that instead of being able to charge under $1 for the smaller coloring books, like “Other Pets” with 16 images, I would almost have to charge at least $1 for each of them. That seems like a lot for a coloring book with only 10 or 20 images.

Would you rather I create one BIG coloring book with all 300+ images to download for oh…well, what would you pay for that? $5? Or would you rather be able to purchase the smaller one subject books, even if it meant they were $1 each for just 10 or 20 pages?

The poll is here, will be on the side as a widget, and I just posted it at Twitter and will RT a few times if I can. I’ll run it until Monday and after looking at the results I’ll finish setting up the coloring book(s) and send them off to be created.

That’s it then – please let me know! Thanks.
