I rarely follow tutorials"<BR/><BR/>I can't remember the last time I followed a tutorial - maybe 2002? I find it far more effective to just flip through books, magazines, videos, and soak up the inspiration. How it all comes together is something that is uniquely me. That, to me, is when artmaking is it's most satisfying.Lisa Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09480144027967954246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21873768.post-27556866098496541932008-03-14T17:09:00.000-06:002008-03-14T17:09:00.000-06:00Hey Molly...thanks for the support.

I hear what you're saying about being influenced by others' work - I take in the techniques but create from my own ideas. I was making PC mosaics before I ever heard of Laurie Mika, but I wouldn't dream of copying one of her designs. My work comes straight from the heart. Hope you'll visit my blog sometime.<BR/>Regina<BR/>Omnium-Gatherum ArtsReginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04492431605123516972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21873768.post-82437384120487807082008-03-12T17:41:00.000-06:002008-03-12T17:41:00.000-06:00Made sense to me.
