I've really been joying finding and using imagery from vintage children's books. I got two copies recently of The Complete Flower Fairies, and have cut up most of both of them already. (One of the copies had gotten lost in the mail, I got a refund from the seller, and a month later the book showed up.)
I found a very old and very funky copy of The Original Mother Goose at a city-wide yard sale not long ago, and have been cutting images out of that.
I have duplicate copies of several of the My Book House series that I'm also cutting up and using in collages. And then there are the several old children's readers text books that I've been using imagery from for a few years.
Perhaps the reason I like these images so much is that they evoke a much simpler time, when life wasn't so complicated and harrowing.
I'm enjoying autumn ~ the air, the light, the shorter days, the clouds, the gorgeous sunsets.
Have a peaceful week.
