The last city I called home had nearby a traditional Japanese garden from the early 1900s. The surrounding fencing was very much like one of these free vectors.]]> http://www.vintagevectors.com/decorative/ancient-japanese-bamboo-gates-and-fences/feed/ 1 http://www.vintagevectors.com/decorative/native-american-border-parts-kit-and-pattern-brushes/ http://www.vintagevectors.com/decorative/native-american-border-parts-kit-and-pattern-brushes/#comments Thu, 28 Jul 2011 12:20:07 +0000 VintageVectors http://www.vintagevectors.com/?p=1267 This free vector download contains four pottery patterns of the Zuñi Native American Tribe, and a decorative frame created by butting the pattern ends together.

Here is a collection of 7 stylized Japanese wooodcut engravings with birds as the subject. Each one is a masterwork in line art, the use of positive and negative space, and overall composition. Each one beautifully captures the spirit of the animal in a simple, elegant setting. There are no wasted strokes. The earliest of the engraved bird images is a Japanese woodcut from 1720, based on an image by the Chinese artist Muh Ki of the 12th century. Vintage indeed.]]> http://www.vintagevectors.com/animals/japanese-woodcut-engravings-of-birds-images-and-vectors/feed/ 4 http://www.vintagevectors.com/decorative/decorative-ornamental-english-letters-of-the-alphabet/ http://www.vintagevectors.com/decorative/decorative-ornamental-english-letters-of-the-alphabet/#comments Tue, 21 Dec 2010 16:50:17 +0000 VintageVectors http://www.vintagevectors.com/?p=1036 Today we have some very ornate Victorian designed letters of the English alphabet.
