10 Free Original Hi-Res Fully Stained Paper Textures

This is the second attempt to get these textures on the blog, since i scanned them in months ago the electricity cut out while i was about to save them and i lost the scanned images! so ive sat down and got them all scanned back in for you.

These were created by soaking A4 pieces of paper in a tray filled with food colouring and then left to dry in the sun. The edges are most concentrated while the middle of the paper has a sort of tie-dye effect.

Dont forget to keep checking Texture Lovers too for free textures from around the web.

These are actually quite nice; I’m wanting to use these as an image-background: on a website I’m designing, normally I would crop an image to produce a tile and repeat-x; do you have any suggestion how I can keep the file size down but still achieve the same effect alternatively a link to patterns with the similar style?

Hello Max.

Are the images you have available here, the Free ones, are they rights reserved or can we use them in our designs? I see great potential for the stained paper images. They look great by the way.

Thanks.
