Three Kitty Cats sitting tall and pretty.
They all appear to be looking at the same thing in front of them.
Perhaps they are discussing who is going to catch what they are watching!

Antique Blue Glass Flask Bottle
This Blue Glass flask is thin on one side and vase shaped on the other.
The pretty blue glass even has realistic reflections.
It was painted in watercolor and has gouache and graphite.
This is a nice art piece as it is.
Or, try using it with other items to create whole new ideas.
The wide side looks like a vase and would be really good to include in derivative art.
Combine it with your favorite flowers or even digitally add a tree growing out of it.

This little antique / vintage butterfly was taken from plans for jewelry.
The color and the end piece remind me a tear.
This would make a great piece to create stickers or ephemera with.

This Playing Card features a man in court dress holding a staff, a sword, and a pike.
I guess he's ready for any challenge of authority.
He bangs Staff on floor while saying "You go no further, Dude"
He puts Pike in face "Do you really want to try that?"
He draws Sword "You're Dead Dude"

This Geometric and Flower-like Tile design is actually a grille for a window!

It would also make for a nice bookmark.
