I am an artist wannabe

Since I am NOT an artist, I have to rely on those who are.
I found a great site. It is called
Feed your Soul:the free art project

(Check out this beautiful photo!)


The concept is simple. Artists donate an image (or a few) to the site for anyone to download and use however they wish. The artist that started this site wanted people to still be able to have access to art during tough times.
She said "Well, I love art and I know you do too. I also know that when people start to tighten up the purse strings they tend not spend money on things that aren’t necessary for survival, things like books, magazines and art. But, art is important for your soul. It helps rejuvenate, it’s thought-provoking, offers inspiration and can generally brighten an otherwise dreary day among other things. In addition to helping brighten your day and put a little spring in your step, I want to help promote some of my favorite artists."
How cool is that?

So,if you are needing an inexpensive way to brighten a spot in your home...here it is!

I think this one is fun and a bit quirky,...but I like it.

I'm a sucker for silhouettes. Great color.

This would be sweet in a kid's room.

Pretty. Different.

Fun and quirky.

If you happen to be an actual artist and not just a wannabe, they will be happy to accept some of your work to add to the freebies.

Such a cool idea!

I love these too. Thanks for the tip. I will have to download some since I seem to be spending all my money on the necessities...fabric!
