CU OK Jack and Jill Antique Transfers

Today’s freebie is another set of antique iron-on transfers and include Jack and Jill, along with their pail of water and the well.  I thought they were pretty darn cute but I’m not sure how useful they will be for digiscrapping.

CU Ok Antique Transfer Set II

My first set of vintage iron-on transfers were a hit so here is the second set.  There are still more to come, these are the last of the flowers and next will be the animals or maybe the Jack and Jill set.  We’ll see!

CU OK Antique Iron-on Transfers

So I was at an antique store a couple of weeks ago and came across a package of antique iron-on transfers that they used to use for dish towels, pillow cases, etc.  They were cheap enough and I thought I could probably do something with them.  I took them out last night and started messing with them.  The problem is, they are so old that they fall apart when you barely touch them.  I had a time unfolding them and scanning them. I then had to import them into Photoshop and clean them up and extract the faded drawings from the brown paper backgrounds.  Some filter work, smoothing, etc. and I finally have a finished .png of the drawing.  I have a bunch more and will get them out in the next few posts.  The others include some farm animals, kittens, cowboys etc.  See the preview and example below:

Ok, I hate the new Skydrive format.  I can’t link to a single .zip file anymore and the entire shared folder appears when you click on the link.  Hopefully you see the download option on the right pane when you click on the link.  I will be searching for yet another file sharing service. UGH!  Anyone use Google Docs to share files? I could use Pogoplug again but that uses my internet bandwidth and won’t work of the hard drive crashes. Anyway, here’s an example of how I used one of the .png files:

Oh, and they are resized for the preview but the actual .pngs are very large.  The square one in the bottom left corner takes up a whole 12 x 12 page (for overlays, etc.)

CU OK 2011 Spring Flowers

Nothing fancy to see here.  Just some flowers that are at the end of their lifecycle in my yard and I thought I’d take some photographs before they are completely dead.
