Crafter on Coffee: Beware!!
Sooooooo yeah! I snagged a bunch of Flower Fairies, as seen here (this one reminds me of me when I was a kid)

Turns out Miss Baker published them in 1923. I think that means it's out of copyright unless someone renewed or something. In any event: PRETTIES! And if nothing else: Fair Use when I put them on presents. Love-love-love. My mom got me the books way back when I was very young and they were the basis of many neighborhood walk stories in which we'd determine where the fairies lived: ivy, trees, etc.
So, I copied out a fair number of them- 4 pages worth- for using in liquid Sculpey transfer. I'd been having a horrible time with ink jet printer copies. It turns out work's photocopier ROCKS. It totally worked. *happy happy dance!!!!!* Well, it worked on regular paper. We'll see if it's better/ worse with photo paper.
