“I began our free photo Gallery to encourage creativity and appreciation for botanical arts and crafts. As an altered book and scrapbooking enthusiast, I want this to be more than just a photo gallery. I’ve created graphics albums with garden themes filled with all kinds of vintage images to help MoPlants fans put it all together.”

The Gallery launches with a Country Garden album and a Woodland Walk collection. One or all of the free images can be saved, resized and printed for digital craft projects. There is also a collection of free color botanical illustrations, an album of black and white vintage line art and jpegs of evocative quotations to provide scaleable greetings for card-making, scrapbooking, calendars or any other paper-based digital craft project.

“To augment our free Online Botanical Illustrations eBook, I created a new section for the site: Digital Crafts Central. It features my personal collection of links to the best archives of botanical illustrations on the Internet. Nobody has ever tried to evaluate and present all of these fabulous botanical graphics sites, but now you can explore my favorite picks all in one place – Botanical Illustration Archive Linksat www.MoPlants.com”
