I don't know about the rest of you, but when I find something I like I tend to get a lot of crafting ideas for what I can make with it and I look for other things I can utilize as well.
Such was the case with the Harper's Young People Illustrations Book from 1889 that I found in my home last fall. I didn't have any other old books like that around so after finding that and the wonderful old illustrations I could use for ephemeral collage purposes I decided to see if there were any other old books with illustrations I could find online. To my delight The Project Gutenberg website had a lot of old public domain books they had created free ebooks for.
So, I started searching for old books on dolls and found a copy of some of the old "Raggedy Ann" books out there that are in the public domain. I found two: 1) "Raggedy Ann Stories" written in 1918 by Johnny Gruelle ebook and 2) "Raggedy Andy Stories"written in 1920 by Johnny Gruelle ebook.
When I had found the "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland"free ebooks that were in the public domain I decided to create e-printable sheets for my own mixed media, collage and scrapbook purposes for the illustrations that I liked. After doing that I decided to create some free reversible sheets so all the "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland" crafters who dabble in mixed media, collage, scrapbook and paper crafts could utilize them as well.
This time I decided to take all the illustrations I had captured from the "Raggedy Stories Dolls - Ann and Raggedy Stories Doll - Andy" by Johnny Gruelle free e-books that I liked and create reversible E-printable sheets of the original graphic illustrations as well as removing the backgrounds from some of the illustrations and creating separate graphics that you could use for your crafting needs.
There are so many uses for the illustrations and graphics. If you want to create a stand-able character that you can use in a diorama or mixed media 3D type creation you can cut out the two images and paste them back to back or paste to heavy paper or chipboard.

I hope you like the original image illustrations I selected and those I removed the background from.
Just click on the images above for the full image size. Then save to your computer and print out a full size image on an 8 1/2" by 11" sheet. If the image isn't sized for a 8 1/2 " by 11" sheet when you open it in your computer viewer zoom in and re-size it until it fits on a full size sheet and then print it out.
