Antique German book pages - ephemera pack/bundles - now available.

I've put up some antique paper bundles on Etsy - great for art/craft projects. These are in old German font. From booklets printed late 1800s, early 1900s in the USA. Some have advertising which is interesting and unique. Great inspiration.

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.
