Where do you find free graphics, patterns etc.? I'm looking both for vintage stuff and modern copyright free stuff to add visual interest to the site - illustrations, dividers, menu icons and simmilar. I would appreciate any tips! 💖

also you could hunt down old books yourself from internet archive, national libraries (scotland's is pretty good for this) or your local library. you'll have to isolate the ink from the paper and give it a transparent background but the work is definitelly worth it
@capstasher Thank you, I've bookmarked all of those! I have been removing backgrounds on my new finds and it can be a bit tricky but you can't beat the authentic look!
I go to archives of public domain images; there are multiple I like but the British Library's flickr is my bestie
there's a lot of free graphics on deviantart! you could search up 'vintage textures' and people post whole collections!
I'm checking both of those our rn and they're amazing, thank you!!
The Biodiversity Library has a lot of material that's copyright free.
@bright-eyes Thank you, it's beautiful!
