Finding royalty and copyright free images

...to use in your mixed media jewelry or artwork can be difficult/costly/time consuming. I'm always on the hunt for images that I can either use as is, or alter digitally, or by hand. The majority of these images will be black and white. You can open them in your favourite photo editing software - or put to use those crazy expensive Prismacolor pencil crayons, or copic markers (I need some of those!), and colour them in.
