This week and next I will be posting some amazing pages from a 1932 Wright's Bias Fold Tape booklet I found at the flea market.  I had seen this one a while back at another market but they wanted 20 dollars for it.  I was able to pick this one up for only a few dollars.  It is in great shape for such an old booklet.  I only had to do some minor photoshoping on the cover to repair it.  The pictures inside are perfect.  As always feel free to use any of the images on my website in your artwork but please do not post or sell the original image on the web in a group or collection. If you use one in a project and post it to your site please link it back to here or leave a comment in the comments section of the image on this site so we can all enjoy.

This week I have a mystery book that I bought at the flea market last year.  It seems very old and is hand bound.  All the drawings look as though they are hand drawn and are you can actually feel their texture on the page.  The paper looks handmade.  Unfortunately I am at a loss.  I think it is japanese, but I am not sure.  So if anyone can read the writing or help me to identify the pages, please let me know in the comments section.  As always feel free to use any of the images on my website in your artwork but please do not post or sell the original image on the web in a group or collection. If you use one in a project and post it to your site please link it back to here or leave a comment in the comments section of the image on this site so we can all enjoy.

Looking for Guest Designers

Well it is that time again to search high and low for guest designers for Digital Two for Tuesday.

1. If you do not mind creating projects that are out of your comfort zone than please send me an email that you would like to be a guest designer. Approximately a week before you will be the host or hostess I will send to you two vintage B&W images to use as stamps in one or more projects. It is your choice what you make and you may add other images or stamps. The idea is to inspire other to take the challenge. The week of your guest hosting please post your project on your blog and on any sites you participate to encourage others to play.

All are welcome to apply.

2. I am also looking for a small group designers to all work with some images to create a blank recipe book or card box. It will be a super challenge and may take a few weeks to complete. I was hoping to have this challenge ready before Mother's Day but I have been crazy busy at work. This will be due June 6 for posting on June 8.  I have about a dozen black & white images from a recipe book from 1915 that I thought might be fun to use to make a blank book to give some one to put recipes inside. The images are small 1.5 x3" approximately. I was thinking you could use the different images for the different sections like meat, fish, poultry, breads, and so on. I am looking for several designers to each make a different project that we would post on the Digital Two for Tuesday blog using the images. The project could be any type of recipe holder such as recipe card box or a book. When we post the projects each designer can post a family recipe on their blog to get everyone started.


So please email me if you are interested in either designer spot with a link to your site or blog so I can see your work at coraharkins@sbcglobal.net. Please let me know whether your are interested in the guest hosting spot or the receipe project.  If it is the guest spot these are the weeks available June 29 , July 13, 20, 27, August 3, 10 and 17(edited on May 3 to show remaining dates). Please list 2 dates you will be available in case one has already been taken.

Thank you. I wouldn't be able to keep the site going without all of your help.

Here are some images from a catalogue I found at the flea market a few weeks ago.  It is the Charles William stores The Bargain Book from 1917.  They were a mail order catalogue based in New York City.  The catalogue is over 1100 pages.  It is in extremely poor shape and no longer bound.  Which is excellant for me.  It is much easier to scan.  I only hope that I can find a way to preserve it from deteriorating further. I also found another Charles William catalogue online here.  The link goes to a very interesting site called Shoe Icons with loads of vintage magazine pages scanned.  As always feel free to use any of the images on my website in your artwork but please do not post or sell the original image on the web in a group or collection. If you use one in a project and post it to your site please link it back to here or leave a comment in the comments section of the image on this site so we can all enjoy. I love to see what you create. That is what inspires me to post and collect more vintage items.
