Today is Request Day! Sea Hag, Octopus, Yarn Ball, Connect the Dots

It's time for another Request Day! I'm doing these once a month now, the next Request Day will be on Thursday July 7th.

Here's what I found for you this Month:



Dawn requested a Sea Hag. which she defined as an ugly Mermaid. I've been wanting to share this one for a long time, but I thought she was too ugly, so I never have. I'm glad someone has a use for it!

Saraccino asked for this particular Octopus, that came from a French Dictionary page. It took a bit of time to extract him from the rest of the page, but I think it was well worth it, he is a great looking Octopus!



Kelsey was wishing for a Yarn Ball. This little drawn version came from a vintage knitting guide.

And lastly DeusExMacintosh was hoping for some more Connect the Dots drawings, from the old Dots book that I have. This one has a cute little Bow Haired Girl.



As a bonus I've also included the little Bow Girl by herself. She would make a great Digi-Stamp!

Well, that's all for this month. Do you have a request for an image? If so please leave it here in the comments section of my Request Day post, and then check back on Thursday July 7th to see if I found your requested image (Sorry but I can't fill every request, I usually pick a few each time). I'm afraid I'm a very disorganized Fairy, so please, please please Do Not email requests to me, I most likely will loose it if you do. So sorry but I'm a complete mess when it comes to email! I'm afraid they're just aren't enough hours in the day to answer them all, and then I feel horribly guilty.

P.S. Don't forget to use the search box here on my blog, you might find that the image you want is already here!

  5. I agree with Kat - love old labels...the more the better! I'm also searching for a good old "cranky" crow image....It would seem there has to be one here on your site somewhere, but I can't seem to find it (then again, I get distracted looking - searched birds and found the cool nest with eggs and had to come up with ideas for that - then went to Halloween and found those awesome projects for matchboxes and embroidery hoops....and pretty soon I forget what it was I was looking for!!)

  12. Karen , you are amazing. I love vintage perfume bottles and would love to see more commercial bottles from either labels ir from advertising. There was just an international perfume bottle association xonvention and auction in Chicago and one bottle alone sold for $37,000 !!! Yes, one bottle. It was Lancome from the 50's and rare because it was created for a charity gala gift bag. Anyway, there is just a huge demand for vintage perfume "stuff" thx ! Jeanine http://icoulduseadeal.com/

  14. Hi, two requests please. One is for some old chemist's poison labels, and the other is a bit strange, I don't know if it is "do-able" but you do such clever things with colour. A little while ago you posted a red rose botanical and I was wondering if you could make it half white so it could be used in an Alice in Wonderland project?

  26. Hi, my request is some ships. I'm talking grand ships like ones with masts or pirates etc. Also I know that Mermaids are hard to fine but is there any chance that you could post any? Even if they're like missing bits or damaged.

    Also, keep up the great work! I love checking Graphic Fairy every day for new images.

    Thanks so much, A.

  27. When I saw the title of this post, I automatically thought of those old dot-to-dots that had big holes and you ran yarn in and out through the holes. I remember doing those with my grandma when i was very little, lol.

  28. I'm so sorry, I left the previous post about the dot-to-dot with yarn. I didn't realize it was going to be anonymous. I don't care for people to leave anon. posts and feel I shouldn't either. Luvs

  29. I am a huge fan of your site. You are so generous and so many of us come here and grab images and forget to say thanks more often than we do. So, thank you, thank you, thank you!I would love to see what the person did with the Sea Hag image. Yep, it's ugly but I wonder what the requester is up to with this one :) Pls share if you get to know.

  35. I feel like my request might be a little farfetched, but my request is for something TEXAS! I have the Amarillo Business School Owl that you've posted before, but I'd adore something like a Texas map, postcard, etc. I'd go nuts crafting with Texas graphics! Thanks for being awesome and providing the best vintage graphics! :)

  38. Hi Karen, I love all the great graphics you post and check your blog everyday! A few months ago you posted an instant art print of squirrels that was wonderful. I was wondering if you had something similar with chipmunks. (Or anything with chipmunks for that matter!) Thanks so much. Kate
