That includes another major resource that many GIMP users may not be
aware of, the Open Clip Art Library:

http://openclipart.org

These images are in SVG format, which the GIMP can import.  But it's
probably a better approach to install Inkscape and use its
integrated search tool (File > Import from Open Clip Art Library) to
find and grab source files.  Then you can tweak and edit the SVG
files in "the right tool" i.e. a vector editor, and export a bitmap
image scaled to the exact size you need, for use in the GIMP.
