Free Clip Art of Children: Antique Die Cut from Victorian Scrapbook

What an idyllic scene of Victorian children feeding birds. This is another really pretty antique die cut that required lots of love and care in my photo editing software program. It's wonderful that this technology allows me to preserve such lovely images, giving them a second life.

Free Fashion Clip Art: Women's Antique Hat Fashion

Antique women's fashion is so interesting and quite alarming at times. I'm in the process of sewing a civil war era tea dress for a yearly competition in my town, and my education has been lots of fun. I love to sew, but I've never taken on such a project. As well as learning new sewing techniques, I've gained a better appreciation of what women had to go through wearing the vast amounts of fabric and the dreaded corset. The clothes were incredibly beautiful, but not a joy to wear most of the time.

Today's clip art is 1915 hat fashion and would be much easier and more fun to wear than a corset ;-) I've provided three different files: first, a .png file with drop shadow; second, a .png file, and last, a .jpg file.

I've posted another image of antique hat fashion at The Antique Image.

Free Fashionable Women Clip Art: Antique Die Cuts of Women in Hats

All of the images I've posted on both clip art blogs so far this week have needed extensive first aid from my photo editing software. These large die cuts, or scrap cards, that have come in pairs all faced one another on opposite pages. The years of friction and pressure took a toll on the surfaces, but even with a bit of damage still visible, they're beautiful and certainly deserve a second life.

Free Flower Clip Art: Antqiue Die Cut of Roses and Umbrellas

These large, antique die cuts, or scrap cards, are so pretty and a real treasure that I found in a Victorian scrapbook. Rescuing them hasn't been easy though. The cards faced one another on opposite pages, so there are signs of wear and cracking on the raised areas. It has taken me quite a while to fix these up, but the images are so worth the effort.

Free Vintage Bird Clip Art: Tiny Fairies Riding Pigeons
