New Image Transfer Pieces - LOVE That Vintage Look!

I have been itching to do some more image transfers of vintage book illustrations, and I found a wonderful new source for them in Sabine Berg's Etsy shop, sabinesydney. Sabine sells the most gorgeous digital images. I have plundered through many, many digital collections at Etsy, and hers is one of the best. It is almost like she created them just for me. They are exactly to my taste and pefect for what I want to do.

Here are a few pieces I finished last night.

Vintage Wild Orchid Illustration Pendant 2 Vintage Fuschia Orchid Illustration Brooch 1

Small Vintage Bird Illustration Brooch 3 Vintage Bird Illustration Pendant 1

I still have tons more vintage images from Sabine to put to clay: Beautiful shells, birds' eggs, birds' nests and florals on ephemera backgrounds. Whether you work in polymer clay or scrapbooking, cardmaking or whatever, you owe it to yourself to visit Sabine's shop.

These are all so pretty! They are exactly my taste too! Your work is so pretty. These inspire me to attempt an image transfer someday.

Thank you so much, Doreen. I hope you do. Image transfers opened up a whole new world of design possibilities for me, and it is super easy to do! :)

Lynda, thank you so much for your nice comment on my blog. I've dabbled in polymer clay and my original intent was to do image transfer, but everytime i try i find it extremely difficult! Soooo, i must be doing something wrong...maybe i can email you sometime about that.. These pendants you made last night are soooo gorgeous, i loooove the 1st pic, and the bird.....ohhhhhhhhh... do you trade or will they be on etsy?!! Just beautiful Lynda!!
