Antique Shop Sign in the Shape of a Key

 

This wooden shop sign has a nice outline of an antique key.

It can be used as it is or make it into a silhouette.

Try printing it in high contrast
(on a laser printer or a copy machine is best)
and using the print as a transfer in Gelli prints.

Dress and Matching Top

 

 Dress and Top

This dress is from the 1930's.
This drawing could have been for showing a Winter & Summer version of the dress.

It is nice piece to print as is.. or taken individually-
the clothing can be used across pages to unite a project into a theme.
With a little more time invested; they would make a great wardrobe set for paper dolls.
