World Peace Painting

• With the New Year approaching I just want to wish everyone Worldwide Peace. Create your own colorful chinese name or word with this fun online generator.

Hockney style Collage

• Go to Pixisnap in order to create this polaroid collage.

Beaded Ornament

• I found this idea in Bead Magazine. Create a retro style ornament with beads collected from thrift stores and vintage shops. Most bead stores supply the wire templates. I doubled up on mine for effect. A good pair of pliers and E600 are all you need to finish them off.

Paint Online

• Ok Rothko this is not. But give artpad a try and hang your canvas in a virtual gallery. Sometimes you just need to work with color without getting your hands dirty.

Craftsman Style Tile Designs

• The Victoria and Albert Museum online site offers a wonderful variety of interactive art experiences. I found this tile generator along with others that allow people of all ages to play and create. One will find it hard to exhaust the possibilities of making pleasing designs.
