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.

When you say “please don’t redistribute”, does that mean I can’t use it to create an open-source web application (ie. include in the source code), or a theme?

I was looking for hi-res paper textures and I found it on your site, these are really good, I’ll be using on my personal project. Thanks!
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?

Brill, thanks for sharing!
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.
–Dimitry
Yeah they are free to use in your own work, for any projects even commercial work, but they cant be sold as they are etc
Thanks very much Max :)
Why thank you very much! I’ll be using those on an upcoming design i’m experimenting with.
Great, Thanks
