*ART* FREE ART to download: Tree of Life
I felt compelled this week to offer a free piece of art for you to keep and even print if you like. You can read its story and download it here.
*PHOTOS* FREE photos: 50th birthday/anniversary
My husband turned the big 5-0 this week (January 2023). To commemorate the event, I (Lisa) thought I’d upload some free-to-use photos for a 50th – some 50 Years cake photos and some more generic cake photos for any kind of birthday or even a morning tea.
Many years ago I used to do day-in-the-life type shoots where I went behind the scenes and followed an event with a camera and photographed the day as it was. I was asked to do some photos for a 50th wedding anniversary and that’s where these photos came from, so if you want to use them for an anniversary instead, they’d work just as well. And as I said, there are a few generic ones there too.
These photos are free to keep and use however you like – blog posts, websites, articles, a birthday event, give them away to others. Just don’t sell them. Access them below by clicking on one and right-clicking to save the image.
You’ll find more free photos HERE.
And you’ll find a large range of free-to-use photos on my Tumblr site: www.lookingglassfreephotos.tumblr.com (A tip: You don’t have to be a Tumblr member to access the photos.)
Oh, and welcome to our new category *Photography*. This year (2023) we are planning on doing a little more with the photos we have, whether it’s offering more for free or putting some on the site as prints for sale. So you might find some behind-the-scenes info and product updates in this blog.
Free Download: A Character Questionnaire
In my article “7 Steps to Plotting Your Novel”, I talked about creating character sheets. Filling out character sheets can be a really effective way to know your characters inside and out before you write. It is also a valuable first step in making your characters memorable, well-rounded, consistent and alive to your reader. I find that the easiest way to do a character sheet is to fill out a pre-made questionnaire.
