This past winter I spent some time going through old books at my local consignment shop, looking for illustrations that I might be able to repurpose. These are all from a children's book from the 1880's called Young Folks Jungle Stories. If you'd like to use them I am happy to share. This one is a magpie chasing a rabbit.
I could see adapting these for collages or cards. The original paper was yellowed and crumbling, and some images were damaged. I repaired each with Photoshop Elements.
I also found a stash of vintage tags, and I think I may use some of these pictures to make gift tags. I'd love to hear if you find a use for these vintage illustrations.

These are beautiful 'spring' pictures, perfect for collage -- time well spent in the library. I have a Passion for Painting Award waiting for you on my blog. Check it out for details.
