Hi I don't have many of my own to share but if you want some background images, I have a few painted backgrounds and some photos that are available on my Flickr site

http://www.flickr.com/photos/shadfan66/sets/72157606149325821/

I am hoping to add more but time is the problem. Anyway, use them if you find them useful - John

I have found that art-ezine, and karen's whimsy both are very kind to allow personal use images and designs. Also, some creative inspiration that can be helpful and intriguing.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll look for your images on the site. —Jill

The websight of canon copiers have some great (and fun) papers and papercrafts for those who may be interested; http://cp.c-ij.com/en/contents/1006/

Wow... have just been looking over the OAC archive posted by aunt Jill, there is some really good stuff in there. - John

Ok, so I've just decided to "go public" with my own Ning network Victorian Vignettes! :) There you will find scanned items from my collection of photos, postcards, old scraps and other ephemera. They are all free for you to use in your art, also art you create for resale. Please feel free to apply for membership if you'd like, and please read the "downloading rules" first. :) There are only 28 pictures as of now, but I'll add more as often as I manage to.

(I'm not trying to compete with you at all, Kim, by the way. As if I could - my collection is waaaay to small to even stand a chance against yours, and my intentions are anyways just to share some pictures that I really like! :) )

Maritha,

I think it is a fabulous idea, this allows you to manage your images and set the stipulations of usage.

I would love to join.

You're on board, Kim! Great to have you there! :)

Sharon, The link is broken. I found the collection when I tweaked the URL a little. The pix are fascinating.

I don't think it's public domain, though. I found this note in the 19th century music section and similar notes in the other sections.

I'm visiting this fabulous site daily until Christmas where you can grab a stunning collage sheet absolutely free - http://countdown.tentwostudios.com/index.html

Thank-you Jill for posting that info about the copyrights.

It is always important to check and double check to be sure you have the right to use images you find on the internet.

One of the biggest mistakes artists make is thinking that if they are only using it for personal usage they are not infringing on copyrights, but as soon as you post a copy to your flickr site or any blog for others to see, you are technically publishing your art with a copyright image and that is an infringement.
