This is a fabulous book from Patricia (a/k/a Pillpat on Flickr) who has uploaded the most amazing collection of vintage illustrations. I love these images so much, that I am trying to construct a nightlight using four of the designs. With an X-acto knife, I am cutting the designs out of black card stock, and then I’m going to add parchment paper and colored cellophane pieces, which, according to Patricia, is the intended use of the book. I’m going to try and build this myself, although I’ll probably need Gordon’s help with the electrical part.
Clicking on the the photos will take you back to Patricia’s Flickr set, where you can also see the rest of the pages.
How gorgeous! I love that idea. Really love these images, I’ll have to go check her out on flickr. I think I used to follow her blog!
Those are really beautiful! I can’t wait to see how the project turns out!
Wow! I will be looking forward to see these images sparkle glow in the light. Thank you for the link to more Vintage illustrations, Martha!
What an interesting project this will be! Can’t wait to see them finished.
Wow! I am so taken with these images! I can’t wait to see what you make of them…
