Combating Creative block

"Penny Plains" and "Two-pence Coloulred:" English Theatrical Portraits 1799-1847 in the William Appleton Collection

This image is from The New York Digital Library . I have found the digital library to be a great source for inspiration, education, and reference for crafts and art among other things. They have thousands of digital pictures you can access.

This is one of my favorite sites for inspiration. I'd love to hear from all of you what sites inspire you. Please share with all of us your favorite sites in the comments section and leave a link if possible.

  8. Hi bunbun,

    cute little site, thanks for sharing. I just glanced over at the site quickly, it looks like scanned Japanese stationary. I'll have to check it out again when I have more time.

    I love craftzine too. Very inspiring.
