Fonts and silhouettes

Post by chiddy »

Here's another neat site that I hadn't seen mentioned yet. (Sorry if this is a repeat, but it's a pretty cool site.) It's http://karenswhimsy.com

She has scanned several silhouette images from books that are now in the public domain. They look like they's be good candidates for Inkscape and SCAL to cut.

I don't understand where you go from the page your link goes to. Everything's all flashy and that won't cut. I clicked on one of the flashy things and it takes me to a postcard of sorts that would never cut. What am I missing?

Click on public domain images at the top and then scroll to the bottom where it says site map for public domain...At the left is a TON of stuff! I just checked out the borderes! WOW! I suppose we would need to FIX these in inkscape? Oh man...Ill be back with more questions I'm sure!

Here's a more complete link to the site that leads directly to the silhouettes: http://karenswhimsy.com/silhouette-clipart.shtm
In the left column there is a menu. If you choose silhouettes, additional menus appear for these categories: people, dancer, free, bird, animal, tree, art, clipart, cat, silhouettes, horse, girl, female and woman. These are all public domain images, which means no copyright.
