hi everyone. Meet my latest critter done on a vintage book page. I thought since I've done so many girls, may as well draw a cardinal. Yes I know he looks funny, but he is supposed to be a cardinal, lol!
Today I went to the Antique market and picked up some nice vintage photos, as well as a couple of old childrens books. Here is one of the photos I purchased, that I would like to share with you.
If you make anything with it, I'd love to see. I've been collecting things like this for a while now, but can't bring myself to use the originals in my art, even though that was the idea
Click on the image to bring up the larger size, then save it to your computer. I will be adding more freebies in future posts.
Can you imagine what it would have been like to be dressed like this in the summer heat? I'm pretty sure the women weren't allowed to shorts, lol!

Aww what a sweet cardinal! I love cardinals in any way, shape or form.
Wow that is a cool thing to collect. When I went in the antique stores a while back the 1 I liked best had single photos mixed in with the items, just displayed here and there. Really felt like a museum.
I love the cardinal, but the whole picture is charming,The tree and print behind, very nice
Great find of vintage books and your art work on the book pages is beautiful.
Pink your cardinal is adorable!
Love your little cardinal, Pink. He is very unique and full of personality. I have some old photos too. It is so nice of you to share. I have often wondered about how people survived before AC with the clothes they wore...things must have been pretty stinky back then...LOL
