Sounds a good idea Adele, but does this definitely not infringe any copyright? It can be a minefield.

@Mary - excellent point for anyone to bear in mind.

Personally, I only use images that are in the Public Domain (i.e. out of copyright, anyone can use them).

So the images I'm referring to are from antique books. In future I may use other images I'm entitled to use, such as if I have a commercial license to produce derivative works or items with a 'Creative Commons' license.

Yes, it is very much a minefield.

I'll post further info on this later, but for now anyone interested can check this out...

OK I've uploaded some example images (see slideshow in original post which take you over to Picasa WebAlbums)

If there's one you'd like to have a go at picking a pattern out of, leave a comment to say you will do it or just leave some ideas or suggestions for others.

They can be traced as big as you like, because we can scale them down to fit a normal size parchment card when they go into the eBook.

Oh, and if you have any instructions for particular areas please supply them too - e.g. indicate where embossing might be or perforating etc. But only if you want to add this, otherwise just pick out a pattern and trace.

When you've done it, scan your tracing and upload here using the white icon 'upload a file' NOT the camera 'add an image'.

I have plenty more!

Anything you want to ask?
