An eye for :: vintage collage

vintage images

I’ve been working on a new blog design and it’s not coming together as well as my Akai theme did. I felt like it needed ‘something’ but I couldn’t define what that ‘something’ was. For reasons unknown I had an Alice in Wonderland rabbit image in my mind – weird! So of course I went off to Etsy to be inspired and look what I found. These gorgeous digital contact sheets are by Image Arts and I found them really intriguing. I do love botanical drawings and vintage inspired imagery but I’d never really thought to use something like this in a blog design, but suddenly my mind was working overtime on how I could incorporate these somehow or at least sometime soon. And do you want to know something funny? Image Arts also has an entire contact sheet of Alice in Wonderland images. It was meant to be.

All images are by Image Arts.

  1. I wonder how I can feel so nostalgic for a time that was before I was born. These images make me long for days of yore. I especially love the butterfly.

    And I ADORE Alice in Wonderland. We own 5 or 6 different versions of the film and I’ve seen a few others in addition. It’s kind of my thing. Along with Winnie the Pooh.

    I’d love to see a vintage Alice or Pooh design on a blog. I’m off to check out the Alice contact she you speak of.

    1. Oh I just love Winnie the Pooh. I was telling someone just last week that my mother gave me all the Winnie the Pooh books in hard back for my 18th birthday (a big coming of age birthday here in Oz) and a bottle of perfume so I’d feel like a grown up. Those books have been carted all over the world!
