Dash of Inspiration – April 22, 2011
Learn . Create . Inspire

A Dash of Inspiration…A Cup of Creativity
Each week I’ll be offering links to tutorials, free downloads and wonderful art & photography that should inspire you to ‘think outside the box’. Every artist should experiment with new tools, new mediums or just new subject matter. The difference between good and great in any field is whether you do an average job or whether you push yourself to do a great job…Every time! Being a great artist is no different. It’s about constant growth, becoming a master at your techniques, and being inspired by something so outside the bounds of your artistic ‘comfort zone’ that you simply MUST create something new!
Today, in honor of Earth Day, I bring you this wonderful exhibit of 40 Terrific Works of Art Made From Common Trash. This is wonderful collection is brought to us by Noupe.com. Look for A Dash of Inspiration…A Cup of Creativity each Monday for something that will spark your creativity!

Love the dragon – of course, being in Wales! But I think they all give me a good excuse for my habit of collecting ‘found objects’!!!!
What you’ve written about ‘constant growth’ ties in very nicely with my blog post from yesterday!

So very true! Don sends me to occasional Photoshop workshops in SoCal so I can see what tools and methods are available … and inevitably I find myself briainstorming something and reaching out for those tools. I love to reach, to learn – to create! Thank you for inspiring us, Doreen … looking forward to your regular column!
