The
clip art that is offered
on these pages is in the public domain, except for the bird drawings by
Pugsley. The public domain images were either created by
me or gathered from public domain archives. In many cases I
altered
the public works to make them more useful for educational purposes.
P.S. Please do not link directly to these images. You may download them an use them any way you find useful.
Sincerely,
Susan Metalis
