Seeing Double: A Young Musicians Club Rehearses

Hi, all. This time, we thought there should be a departure from the past month's activity here at PPS, and so it has been decided to post our stereoscopic photo of our young gentlemen below. The details are so much fun!
This particular offering came by way of the local Antiques Mall where they offer loads of yummy, fun things crying out to be posted for your use. Despite its beat up condition, I love this one especially. I found the subject matter irresistible!
I know of not one young fellow their age today who'd be willing to wear those striped stockings with short trousers! LOL I think most of us would agree that had to be less than comfy, certainly less than fun to knock about the old schoolyard in. Dollars to donuts, their clothes were predominantly made of woolen fabric. In those days, often this would have been the case--for stockings as well!
Anyway, I hope you'll find this fun new doubletake easy to use in a wide variety of projects.
Happy Creativity!

Seeing Double: On the (partially Steampunked) Road To Cairo, Egypt (with bonus ATC background!)

In keeping with our theme this week of following the lead given by Gingersnap Creations, we now give you 4 versions of the same travel image, 2 of which are in our Steampunk colorway. As an added bonus, we've cropped and then Steampunked an emblem from one end of this Stereoscopic photo duo.
The simplicity of our stereoscopic card's look makes for lots of room for embellishments of all kinds. This means, you can take it and run with it! 
Further, if you'll notice, there's a set of tracks running from the foreground to some undefined point in the distance. Perhaps a steam locomotive, when set at the right angle, might be fun in this case. There's certainly room enough for a car or boat, so a travel theme might fit any one of those 3 categories.
Think pith helmets, jodhpurs, or tents and camel drivers. Lots of possibilities for playing around with this theme here!
Also, do try and give a salute to the Gingersnap crowd. They work hard to supply us all with new ideas and tutorials all of the time. We owe them a vote of thanks for their very substantial effort, surely.
Happy Road Trip and/or Steampunk Creativity!

Seeing Double 3 Ways: Antique Views on San Francisco's Ferry Depot

We see many stereoscopic view cards in our travels, but this one caught our eye. It is so simple, such a basic background, the thought was: "An ideal background for Collage!" It's a turn of the century look without any clutter or fuss. And it's a tinted plate, meaning more fun in general!
I myself already have plans for this image. :)
For more information on the fascinating history of this remarkable structure, you can go HERE. It has survived more than one major earthquake!
Imagine the potential for art use here, though. Add people, mix, stir, and find yourself a brand new collage!
We think the possibilities may be endless.
Anyhow, here it is, and we hope you'll enjoy both our Original and Brightened versions, along with our Steampunk color way version.
Please do not repackage any or all of these images for sale! Let's keep free things free!
Happy Creativity!

"Lovers' Retreat": Stereoscopic Viewpoint

This is just another of the fun finds to be had from our collection of freebies for our readers. Found at a thrift store, it cost all of 15 cents! I got a good chuckle at the checkout.

Happy Creativity!
