More Free Images!

Here are the free images for today!

        This is a miscellanous group of images that I thought you might like to use  for your altered art projects!  Please enjoyed all of the clip art that I have posted  and if you have any questions or comments,  don't hesitate to leave a message for me!

******And remember, if you use any of these images, a link back to me would be apppreciated, especially if you have made something really sweet!


This is the front and back of an old children's book!  I thought this would be great for you to use if you need to add that  "distressed appeal"  to  any of your projects!!







A bit of  antique lace for  you to decorate and use as a banner or button!



A very old knitting pattern!



I love this image!  Little sister teaching brother how to knit! I think this is adorable!



This image is also one of my favorites. I imagine that she has tucked her "little ones" into bed
and is staying up late to finish her needlework.  Maybe she is making them a sweater or scarf...
somethig really special to keep her children warm!



A diligent young girl, pausing for a moment while knitting socks for her family!



"High Fashion"
Doesn't she look chic?  Right out of the Great Gatsby!!
I love her shoes!!




A very charming bed jacket for those quiet evenings at home!



A sweet little girl, happily sewing clothes for her dolls on her Singer Sewing Machine!!


These images are from  old pictures of some of my family members that were copied from a copier machine before they were given to me!  Some of  the details of the images are not very clear! When I scanned them for my files, I dabbled a bit with the color adjustment and tint to try to decrease the lack of detail and fuzzy background.










O.K.,  it is time for me to go!  Have a great day creating what you love!

My "Special" Treasures

A LITTLE PRINCESS

I am so excited to share this treaure with you!! This antique book was given to me by a  special family member and has a great deal of  sentimental value to me.  I couldn't wait to share this with you because  the book is over 100 years old and the drawings are simply amazing! The book cover , although very old, has such a quaint antique charm to it, it would make a great background or book cover for an alterd art book! I hope you will be inspired by the book and the drawings and make something espicially nice with the images. Please enjoy them as much as I have.
