Tracing Pictures onto Silk to Paint?

Can anyone help me to find pictures that I can use to trace onto silk so that I can paint them? Any pictures that are suitable to copy would be great. I also paint in acrylics so they would be useful for that too. Flowers are my special interest.

Just Google: "children's coloring" or "free coloring pages" & you'll get all kinds of designs to use, but why not draw your own very simple designs... They'll mean more to you in the long run... But either way, I'm sure your finished artwork will be wonderful!

Here's some simple flowers:

I just started learning to paint on silk too. It's great.
Dover has a series of stained glass books (flowers, animals, art deco, etc) that are easy to transfer.

I copy the design on a piece of plastic, usually a zip lock bag, and then place it under the silk. I then use the gutta to trace the design and then fill in with paint.
I also search the web, and look in art books.
A Hospice volunteer taught me while my husband was there. I found DarhmaTradingCo.com a good place for supplies. Even with shipping the prices are good.
Here's a design you might like.

I use coloring books. I trace the picture onto tracing paper with a transfer pencil then iron it onto the material. Most of the transfer pencils will wash away in soapy water.

I do not do stained-glass, but I do paint with acrylics.
One thing I'd do is take some of my Photos or pictures out of magazines and work with them in my Photoshop, I turn them black-and-white and I might need to remove shading, I also have used coloring books. Here is an example of what should and do, hope this helps you.
