Free Vintage Graphic – Rooster and Chicken

It’s a long story as to why I like chickens and roosters, and a kind of quaint one; however,   the relative who used to raise them wouldn’t appreciate my sharing all the details of the story, so until I get clearance from that  corner I’ll just keep it at that.

I found this following vintage graphic  image as a public domain item, digitally cropped it and cleaned it up.  It is saved as a .png file ( I know all you savvy digital scrappers know that a .png file  is an image file with a transparent background).

Unfortunately, the chickens were standing in grass so their feet look a little rough and I didn’t have time to crop out the feet and/or add fake grass.  And the rooster’s comb and wattle (actually had to look those up) are more of a brighter red.  The preview pic is only at 72 dpi!

The actual image is 709 px by 535 px and once you click on the image another tab will open on your browser in order to download it from my Photobucket  Google Drive storage. The image will display and you can  pretty much save the file, by using the “Save As” function in Microsoft Windows.

Please read my TOU (terms of use) page before downloading.  Disregard the white background in the screenshot, that’s just the way Photobucket  Google Drive displays their images.

If you notice the screenshot shows the dialog box showing the .png extension. I hope that that clears up any confusion.

While I am still debating as to where to set up my image downloads in order to make it the most accessible to those who are interested, I’m going to test this on my Photobucket account for now. In  the near future, I plan to upload larger files  elsewhere.   I hope you enjoy it!

Wishing You A Happy New Year for 2013

 

Wishing you a Happy New Year and hopefully a very prosperous one!

The vintage postcard above reminds me of family pictures of my grandmother during the Roaring 20s. I made a few adjustments to the original as the New Year greetings were in another language.  Just wanted to take some time to wish you all a Happy New Year with vintage flair.

I’ve included the vid tut below because I thought it was a good one to create a lattice front type of card.  Perhaps it can be mixed with vintage photo postcards like the one above?  Just some inspiration to get you started on all your vintage projects for 2013.

Getting Ready for the Thanksgiving Holiday With Fall Colors

Thanksgiving Vintage Postcard

It seems as the days get cooler, the fall leaves start to turn into golden brown and red hues, and the nights are longer that I start thinking about all the yummy and tasty foods that are so popular around the Fall and Thanksgiving season.  Delicious comfort foods like…

  • Mashed Potatoes with Gravy
  • Chicken Pot Pies
  • Warm, Oven Baked Cornbread
  • Pumpkin Pie or Cherry Pie
  • Green Beans With Almonds
  • Jellied Cranberry Sauce
  • Apple Cider

And why do I bring this up in a blog about vintage items?  Simply, because there are a lot of vintage and antique flatware, dinnerware and glassware available on Ebay, Tias, Rubylane and other similar sites that you can intermix with your modern items or  use  exclusively for your holiday dining to serve all those delicious foods.

Thanksgiving Turkey PostcardThis is the season to showcase your best items, collectibles in the colors of fall such as brown transferware, copper pots and cooking utensils and other holiday serving dishes!
