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, ophthalmologist, 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.

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.

Some of my Halloween ACEO art card collages.

I thought I'd share this - my personal artwork - but using items available from 'Dreamy Papers' or available by request, you can create similar works... Hope these serve to inspire you in your artistic creations.

Numbering my ACEO art cards was up to a number ending in 13, so instead of creating one ACEO with that number I am doing a mini series of Halloween original collage art cards.
I've completed the first 6 in this series, and not sure how many I'll continue doing, the elements used are the same, but the look is different for each. 

I use a page from a 1971 Edgar Allan Poe book, bats printed onto a very old book page, part of a ledger with handwriting over 100 years old. Vintage and antique images of Halloween themes printed onto a transparency, which is secured with metal brad shapes.

I then add a few elements that seem 'appropriate' for that particular image - these included antique and specialty papers, real leaves, and other things that just seem to 'fit'.

Fun to do.

I'm listing them on eBay - so you can see my Halloween art offerings HERE.

For your boudoir perhaps, m'lady?

A vintage old page from a dictionary with corsets on it inspired me to print an old Victorian illustration image of a woman and corset.

But it also inspired me to take it a little further. I embellished the printed page with two heart shapes that have Victorian pink roses on them, and further with a scalloped shape with another lady in a corset - this time in the color red.

This paper is from 1902, and is a genuine page out of a ledger, handwritten, and includes a purchase of a box of snuff. Around this shape, I decided to enhance with watercolor.
Altogether a pretty, romantic image for someone's boudoir. Yours perhaps?

French cards with etching from 1710

I love finding 'treasures'. Over the weekend I came across these wonderful cards (4) from Musée de l'Orangerie, Paris/Cologne. They have prints attached to the front of them that are hand colored, and the image dates from 1710. 

Attributed to Janvier Ianuarius Gennaio - from a series of allegorical representations of the months. The cards are obviously quite old, but in fabulous condition.

Available to you, on Etsy in the Dreamy Papers shop.
