Art Nouveau Vintage Ephemera
Quite a while ago, I posted this free Art Nouveau collage sheet made up of images by Alphonse Maria Mucha (1860-1939), which was very popular. The images were on the smaller side, which can be great for collages, cardmaking, etc., but I thought I would follow up with some free collage sheets with larger images that could be used as journal cards. I also thought a dominoes printable might be nice for jewelry making. I think these lovely ladies would be beautiful on pendants.
These printables feature intricate designs and the timeless beauty of the Art Nouveau movement, characterized by its flowing lines and organic forms. I’m not sure who the artist was for these designs, but they are taken from vintage postcards dating back to the early 1900s.
Scroll all the way down, and you will find three different Art Nouveau ephemera printables:
2.5x4.25 Inch Journal Cards: Great for larger projects and mixed media art.
