I'm sure it's been a rewarding experience. As far as favorites on the web--I have lots but for purpose of this post, I'll share this flickr group: http://www.flickr.com/groups/collageimages/ they have tons of images to use in your artwork--I save them to a file on my computer for copyright free images-then experiment in photoshop with them. I don't use a lot of images in my art right now, but I have a bazillion saved just in case :)Jodi Ohlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17051065416287643076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2936122319979550678.post-73732841596135544132009-03-15T22:31:00.000-04:002009-03-15T22:31:00.000-04:00One favorite thing is hard to come up with.

Somehow, I stumbled on to this blog of photos of abandoned old medical facilities. Creepy and beautiful all at once. http://kingstonlounge.blogspot.com/Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14046526300715094532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2936122319979550678.post-84926670308448139642009-03-15T21:32:00.000-04:002009-03-15T21:32:00.000-04:00My current favorite art thing is a book called "Ma...My current favorite art thing is a book called "Material World," which was published several years ago and is still powerful. Peter Menzel found a statistically average family in every country, and then photographed each family with all their possessions in front of their home. The photo essays were then arranged in order of wealth. This book changes how you feel about what it takes to live in the world.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08582456623379474356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2936122319979550678.post-40255171611270045992009-03-15T19:59:00.000-04:002009-03-15T19:59:00.000-04:00Michelle, what a wonderful idea to gather together...Michelle, what a wonderful idea to gather together your friends' "favorite art things" to celebrate your Blog Anniversary. This way we can all share the fun and glean lots of new ideas and references.<BR/>It's quite a challenge to come up with one thing; we all have so many favorites in so many areas. I will have to choose my favorite book though, as this one has been my constant companion ever since I can remember and I keep it by my bedside still: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll with the original illustrations. My memories of reading it with my Dad, of quoting passages with my family, of reading it to my children, and of browsing through many beautifully illustrated new versions, keeps it fresh in my heart. The perfection of the language, the cadences, the utterly delightful, naughty, innocent, wry, brilliant humor, the sheer madness of it all; nothing better to cheer one up. For those readers who may not have dipped into it in many years, give it a try! I think it may sound particulary wise in a topsy- turvy sort of way, in these trying times we are living through.Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03220218063122142364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2936122319979550678.post-27526733271134712042009-03-15T18:34:00.000-04:002009-03-15T18:34:00.000-04:00WOW -- only one per entry >:-?Well, ONE of my M...WOW -- only one per entry >:-?<BR/><BR/>Well, ONE of my MOST favorite "art things" is the Carolina Mixed Media Art Guild (http://carolinamixedmediaartistsguild.blogspot.com/). A wild and wonderful group of artists who thrive in the creative company of one another; giving and growing together as they learn more about what they love along with new things to fashion into their respective mediums.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to the favorites of your other readers -- Happy Anniversary, my friend!<BR/><BR/> - pAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
