I was cleaning up and found something I missed again. Today I would like to share with you a coloring booklet I made.
This was made in 2009. The creator is I my me gallery, which was my trade name at the time.
I made a lot of paper products that I sold at handmade craft fairs, not only postcards, but also stationery, books like this one, etc. I didn't think much about making money, though. But I didn't think much about making a profit (-;).
When you open this booklet, you might expect to see roses and tulips for the "Flower Coloring Booklet" or butterflies and beetles for the "Insect Coloring Booklet", but all you will find are strange flowers and insects shaped by my imagination.
I came up with 20 pieces each and drew line drawings of them. I am amazed that I came up with so many ideas. And although there is a sample of how to apply the colors, it does not specify at all which colors to apply here and there, and it is a really appropriate coloring booklet that tells you to paint as you like.
I think we sold these booklets for about 300 yen each, and I remember they sold quite well.

掃除をしていたら、また懐かしいものが出てきました。今日は私が作ったぬり絵の小冊子を紹介しようと思います。
これは2009年に作ったものです。作成者は当時の私の屋号であるI my me galleryです。
手づくり市などで販売した紙製品はポストカードのみならず文房具や、このような本など、色々作りましたね。でも儲けをあまり考えてなかったですね(-;。
この小冊子を開けると「お花のぬり絵」ならバラやチューリップ、「虫のぬり絵」ならチョウやカブトムシが出てくるのと思いきや、私の空想で形が出来た変な花や虫ばかりです。
各20点ずつ思いついて線画を描きました。よくそんなに思いついたなと思います。そして一応塗り方見本はついているのですが、ここにこの色を塗るとは一切指定しておらず、好きに塗れ、という実に適当なぬり絵の小冊子です。
これは1冊300円くらいで販売したと思いますが結構売れた記憶があります。
