Free Antique Moth Clipart - Part 2



Happy 4th of July! Here's a present for you!

If you haven't already seen it here, last month I released a page of free moth clipart, and promised you a few more pages! Well here's one of European butterflies, and I've already cut out the cute little catterpillar above, click on him to get a full size 300 dpi image that you can save to your computer (after clicking on him, right click and select "save image as" or drag it to your desktop). He'd be perfect for a little notecard.

I didn't cut out the rest, so you'll have to do that using photoshop magic, OR simply print out the entire sheet (I like to print using my printer's "best" setting, or "presentation paper matte" setting, on regular paper - you'll see what a difference it makes) and cut them out for collage or notecards. Watch out if you're glueing them though, because if you use an inkjet to print them they'll probably smear. They'll smear less if you let the page dry overnight.

You're welcome to link to it on your blog or facebook or wherever - I'd love a link back if you do. follow my blog to see the other plates I have, that I'll be posting soon!

to download: click on the image above, then right click on the full sized image
and select "save image as" or drag and drop it to your desktop.

Free Antique Moth clipart images!



"Zickzackspinner" (Notodona Ziczac)

Lots of people ask me where my imagery comes from - while I'd love to say I drew it all, in fact most of my imagery comes from antique botanical or biological drawings. These are gorgeous images that have been hiding out inside of field guides and scientific journals for a hundred  fifty years, and now thanks to the ability to scan files, can now be unearthed and given new life!

I found several gorgeous plates of butterflies and moths from a German field guide and I want to share them with you (yes, for FREE)! I cut out the one above using photoshop magic (Click here to see it full size), unfortunately you'll have to do that for yourself on the moths below, but you could also print out the page and cut them out by hand for handmade cards, scrapbooking or multimedia projects.

You're welcome to link to it on your blog or facebook or wherever - I'd love a link back if you do. follow my blog to see the other plates I have, that I'll be posting next week!

to download: click on the image above, then right click on the full sized image
