I rounded up all the etchings of pocket watches I could find  from my collection of magazines circa 1880's. These images were all in various ads. They have that wonderful steampunk feel to them and I have used them in many of my punky  collages.I hope you all can find a use for them.

One of my favorite antique books for steel/copper plate etchings is Harper's Young People. I have a few different ones that date from the mid 1880's and they are filled with tons of beautiful images. These lovely letters and images come from my 1885 copy. I just love the letter O with the owl. I like to use colored pencils or gel pens to add some color. They look great all done up.

Running around like a chicken with my head cut off. Its been one of those weeks I woke up and wasn't sure where  the time had gone. I'm usually ready for Fridays freebies way before Friday, but this time around I was left scrambling.  So I dug deep in the LONS vault to find some old boarders I created for past projects. Some of these have been offered before on different sheets or what not but I thought I would gather them all up and put them in one place. Its always nice to have lot of bits and pieces to play with on hand.

Okay I'm off to find that head of mine!!!

Take care and have a fun filled weekend Hugs Deborah

These fancy Waterman Fountain pens were advertised in " The Review of Reviews" published in 1892. I have several copies of this magazine and it is loaded with so many wonderful ads, with great graphics perfect for collage work. I love the top pen it is so pretty, they just don't make them like they used to.

I just picked up a wonderful old book filled with chromolithographs plates of fruit, flowers and trees. There is no date in the book but I estimate it to be from the early 1900's. There is really no title either it just says Ellwanger & Barry, Mount Hope Nurseries, Rochester NY. No 5036 on the cover.

The images are stunning however the pages are in pretty rough shape lots of dirt and stains but the colors of the prints are still bright and clean.

I've posted both the full plate and a cleaned up, cut out version of the fruit. Hope you can find a way to use them in your work.

Until next time take care and have a fun weekend Hugs Deborah

I like the look of old letters, envelopes and stamps and often use them in my work. being the type that loves to hang on to my goodies.  I came up with this letter sheet so I can get that mail art look without having to use up all my original loot.

I created the tag for a Nick Bantock themed mail art  project but in the end it turned out to be to busy for the piece so I never used it. But I hate to let anything go to waste I thought someone might find a way to create with it.

Until next time take care and have a creative weekend Hugs Deborah
