Vintage
images are the inspiration behind all of our crafts and scrapbooking
projects. From the romantic to the whimsical, Victorian and
turn-of-the-century illustrations can give your creativity a
distinctive
touch. These classic illustrations and photographs are rich
in color, artistic technique and symbolism. This bygone art
captures the essence of life's highlights - holidays, celebrations and
sentiments - vividly.
The
projects teach you techniques for decoupage, collage, reverse-glass
painting, embossing, antiquing, card-making and paper crafts.
VintageImageCraft is your online resource for ideas, inspiration and
the finest-quality images. Here, you'll find:
- Free
craft ideas and instructions for using
art to make art.
We went for fun and easy. Inexpensive to make, with materials and tools
– and skills – that you probably have. Many are perfect for children or
small crafting parties.
- Free digital images
for each craft project, easily downloadable in PDF format with a click
of your mouse.
- Tips and techniques. A
full glossary
of helpful information about crafting terms and FAQs
about acquiring, manipulating and printing digital pictures. Check the craft
tools reference and craft
techniques for information about the basics you'll need
to get crafting.
- Artist
reference.
The stories behind the drawings may inspire you. Between 1890 and 1920,
printers in America and Europe produced hundreds of thousands of
postcards bearing photographs and illustrations, and their artistic
creators established world-wide reputations.

And nothing means more than kind words from a happy crafter...
| "You
chaps have one of the best websites I have seen. I come from
a
long line of crafters, and though I didn't inherit much of that DNA,
the clarity of your written instructions & pix, and the
devotion to
the details of bygone designs are top-flight. This past
weekend I
had a ball making your vintage Halloween chenille figures, and plan to
make more for other holidays! Kind thanks." Judy |
