Antique Book PNG file ~ Free Clipart Image

  

the book image above is a .png file for you!! :)  I used it in my header for my personal blog..

   

Using PhotoScape, I overlaid several of the antique pages I have offered up previously to you. Except for creating the .png file in Photoshop, the entire collage above was created in Photoscape. I am trying to create more .png's for you.. I do understand how valuable they are for layering. Whenever I wand a portion of the image to remove, it locks up my Photoshop and shuts it down. I think it took me 2 hours to make the above image (something that should have taken 5 minutes..). I'm pretty sure my PC problems are from Windows Vista and I desperately want to upgrade to Windows 7 but I'm not sure when it'll happen. So, for now.. they will be few and far between. For more .png files click the tag below.

Happy Creating!

The Hanging of the Crane by Longfellow 1874

I picked this antique book up a few weeks ago, just before my computer power supply bit the dust, 'The Hanging of the Crane' by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.  Note the 'Illustrated' part on the cover.. that is my favorite bit! All of the tiny drawings that fill each page, telling the story of the poem. the poem itself is quite wonderful but being a visual person, I REALLY adore each small image best.

I have tons to share with you from this book, so here is a sampling to get you started...

Hope that wets your appetite!
