freebie vintage photos

This first one shows John and Josephine
and their three sons Clint, Franklin
and Harlan. No date.

This is a batch of photos from my husband's side of the family. Do as you will with them, including making projects to sell, but please do not sell them as themselves.

I'm going to caption each photo instead of trying to make this text line up right.

Here's Harlan as a baby in 1873.
This is a tintype. His expression slays me.

Harlan as a young man. No date.

Franklin and his bride Emma. 1896-ish

Frank and Emma again, motoring. No date.

Emma and their kids Lyle and Floyd. No date.

This couple seem to have been family friends.
What a pair, huh?

Josephine and her sons - Clint, Franklin, Harlan. No date.

freebie gelli prints

More gelli prints. These are all on pages from a Strathmore Visual Journal, the watercolor version, size 5.5x8". I took the coil out of all the pages so that I could work on them easier, and when I'm done, I'll put it all back together. 

I think it's Roben-Marie who routinely does this and I like it. Only problem I can foresee is finding the blasted coil 3 years from now when I've finally journaled on all the pages. For now, I'm keeping it on the shelf with all my other journals in the hopes that that'll be the place I think to look for it lol.

The big squishy circles on the top piece is large bubble wrap over small bubble wrap. Second piece was my scrap piece, where I roll off the brayer and press off the underside of stencils. Messy but I like the colors and all the layers.

Third one I dragged a fine comb over it, then used a honeycomb  stencil that Rhonda brought me last Sunday when she came for the day.

The teardrops are a stencil from a previous visit over small bubble wrap. It's like Christmas when she comes!

Print them out and cut them up for collage. Use them as a background or element in digital collage. Sell items you made using them. I don't care what you do with them as long as you don't make money from selling them as themselves. 


Scanned at 300dpi, but I also have 600dpi versions available for those of you who want a HUGE one for something. Just ask. 

Linking up to Mandarin Orange Monday and June’s Colorful Gelli Print Party.

freebie gelli prints

For those of you who may not yet have a gelli plate, or who have one but still lust for more art fodder anyway - here are some more gelli prints.

They were all made on Easter Sunday when Rhonda came to play for the day. Today was all about stencils and layers.

Hi-res scans, free for you to do with what you will. Just don't sell them.

freebie farmer's almanac pages

NOTE - use these pics, not the ones in the first post I put up, in case you're using a reader. Those scans were only at 72dpi cause I'm a muffinhead today.


More scans from that 1946 farmer's almanac I picked up someplace or other. 

One of the pages has the answers to the puzzles from this post. One of you asked if I would publish them and here they are. (hopefully you're still reading me lol)

Another page is called the Principal Holidays because back in 1946, the US had no national holidays! They've all been established since then, which is practically in my lifetime. I had no idea.

As always, please don't sell them. If you make something with them, I'd love to see it. No one has ever gotten back to me that they've used it...

Have fun.
