Great medical professional gift - Vintage eye printed on old 1913/14 handwritten medical textbook.


Making the world lovelier ... one image at a time ...

I found another, different page of medical notes relating to the eye in the old textbook I have. The last one sold. This is a perfect gift for medical student, ophthal
mologist, nurse, or doctor. A 1913/14 handwritten book page of lecture notes over-printed with a vintage engraved illustration of an eye with parts indicated alphabetically - such as one a student of the times would have used! 

The text notes are pertaining to 'Dr Harley Chemical Poisons that Act on Eye Amblyopia'. 


It can be framed - float mounting will show off the ragged edge, giving more character to it. It can also be mounted onto a wood block or similar. A wonderful gift for any medical practitioner hero.

The size is approx. 6.5" x 8.25". it is OOAK - One Of A Kind. Click on below link for Etsy listing:

Art Journal Tip: Page a little 'short'?

My printer tends to print a little 'short' of a full page at times - so I have a blank gap. For art journal pages this is a bit annoying, but I was very pleased with the results of using a strip of black dotted washii tape along the bottom. It fitted in perfectly, and for this printed page, it just added the right amount of subtle interest.
If you collect old papers, you could cut a tape-like strip of text, and paste that. Having a ragged top to it could also work well.

Free printable bookmark/tag for Mother's Day - Victorian + Quote

Just on a whim, after finding this quote in an old 1914 book that once belonged to my Aunt, I decided to put together a matching graphic in a meaningful way.
Fortunately I found a Victorian image that seemed to match, and so made this antique-type look - can be made into tags or bookmark. Click on the image for full size to print.
Can be used for personal projects as much as you like. Can be used in commercial projects, e.g. art journals, etc. But cannot be used for selling this image/quote in digital form, either as is, or altered. Thank you. If you need other permissions or are unsure, please email me.

Enjoy!
And Happy Mother's Day to all the Mother's out there!

New print of my original watercolor painting of pink rose teacup on old book page.


I've offered prints on old book pages in my Etsy store before, as well as currently. But this is a first.

I was thinking how much I love teacups, especially those with pink roses, and then thinking how popular prints of my watercolor of one has been. I had an old book from 1876 nearby, and was thinking of printing on the pages of it. And from there, this became my new creation (using my own art for printing onto old book pages).


It would be great for a feminine themed area, tea shop / cafe, or would suit shabby chic decor.

The book has some wonderful old quotations from Victorian times. Did people ACTUALLY talk like this - thee, and thoust, etc.? This is the real thing - you get the book page with the print on it. If it sells, I may offer more - just on different pages, of course.


Available on Etsy in my "Dreamy Papers" store.
