The Link That Made My Head Explode

I’m an visual geek. Well, you probably guessed that from the collages. Words are great, I love words, and music soothes my savage breast AND beast, but visual . . .

Visuals are shiny. Visuals will make me stop what I’m doing and stare and think in other images. I started out as an artist, my college major was weaving, my first career was an art teacher, visual is my thing.

So when a pal on one of the lists I’m on (thank you, Teresa Hill) said, “Hey, this link is great for images,” naturally, I went.

And then my head exploded.

God bless you, Daily Kos. I may finally be able to find all the visuals I’ll ever need to make my collages and write my books. May. I’m not sure. But it’s definitely looking possible.

If you’re an image junkie, you gotta go HERE.

    Here I was justminding my own business. All I wanted was to read some good ol’ blogs. Sure I knew I _should_ be collaging book 2 but, really, I just felt like being lazy then *bam* Now, I’m clicking on all these links and printing far too many lovely, lovely pics and getting out my scissors and my glue stick …

    Hi Jenny. I’ve been reading your blog for a while, but this is my first comment. Thanks a bunch for sharing this site. I loved the images from old books.

    Well, I’m glad the emails from 2006 are gone. No point in going through that again.
    Nothing but good times ahead.

    Thanks Jenny, these may save quite a bit of time and effort searching out those “free” image and clip art sites.

    (Bob, Bob, Bob, and this is helping how? Glad to see some things just don’t change.)
