Freebies - Celestial Charts, Globes, and Spheres

This week's freebies are some celestial charts, a couple of awesome globes and a sphere or two. A couple of these I purchased long ago as a starry eyed college student. In my quest to declutter, reorganize and recycle I ran across some of these in a chest. Then in one of my journaling groups someone/Sox was looking for some so it just seemed like the right time to share a few more with you.

This weekend is my finish up all outstanding projects weekend. Hopefully I will have some time to start on a few journals for next year. I have decided to use a few of these charts as covers and inserts. I will share them with you as they develop. I hope you can find a place in your art for some of these.

I love this one. It was the first one I bought. The mariners compass just did me in.

Isn't the pink with the cherubs great?

Wow! This impressed me with such inferior instruments they could figure this all out. Math really helps.

My favorite globes!

I wish I could read this. Long ago someone gave me the gist of this but I have two or three that are similar and I can't remember. If anyone knows let me know.

Freebies #15 - Celestial Charts

Aren't these wonderful? They were charted by a cartographer named John Emslie in 1846. I love the graphics on these. I thought with a new year and the first full moon right around the corner, these would be appropriate as my freebies this week. Any how I have always been fascinated with the heavens. Living by the ocean you get to see the effect the moon has on the tides and the water. It is amazing how many stars you can see at night. You can almost feel the pull of the moon at night and in the day the heat of the sun. I hope you will enjoy these as much as I do...
