Scratching the itch
When I started thinking about changing my blog design, I stumbled across a couple of sites that are custom made for people like me who don’t have an artistic bone to call their own. The wonders of the internet.
I had a good time fiddling around with the Bgpatterns.com site. That’s where the backgrounds, that you see, came from. If you’d like to spruce up your computer’s wallpaper, this would provide some possibilities. Besides being a marvelous way to waste some time...although I don’t really think that creating something is a waste of time.
And here is another fun place to scratch your creative itch—TartanMaker.com. With the entire color palette at your disposal and with control over the number of colors and threads you want to use, the possibliities for designing some stunning tartans are quite endless. There are enough detailed ones in the site’s gallery to give you an idea of how it works and how to do it. Can’t tell you exactly how much time I’ve spent there fiddling around. It’s kind of addictive. I suppose, for a weaver, this would be an invaluable tool. For the rest of us...lots of enjoyment.
So, go create and have fun.
