Not that great artists of the past aren't real, but you are right about the encouragement we can receive from the ones we know, either IRL or in cyberworld :-)Cyndi Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564900810103675653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10301121.post-89876880062641229012010-05-07T08:39:31.547-04:002010-05-07T08:39:31.547-04:00This is a great question. Lots of people are going...This is a great question. Lots of people are going to mention all the "stars". Of course they influence us on an "artist" level. But my biggest influences have come from those I have met on the internet and have a personal cyber relationship with. <br /><br />Susan Elliot<br />http://plays-with-needles.blogspot.com/<br />who I met through the BJP and have become blog friends with. Her inspiration is her amazing talent in so many different areas from beading to CQ to being just the best aunt in the world (not mine) ~lol~ If you have never visited her blog, go and enjoy yourself.<br /><br />Christina is also a good cyber friend who is reaking with beading talent and never too busy to help with a question or just say hi.<br />You may know her:<br />http://goodquillhunting.wordpress.com/<br /><br />There are many more, but I must also mention one last inspiration.<br />http://ravenmoonmagic.blogspot.com/<br />Sheree promotes her art. But her inspiration for me is the way she turns pictures of her everyday life into a fairy tale that intriques and pulls you in and, if just for a moment, takes you to another place of serenity and entertainment. Another place you will not be sorry you visited.<br /><br />Course, you can always visit me too...I like to inspire..if not art..a positive attitude to make your dreams come true.<br /><br />Have a great day. <br />CarolCarol- Beads and Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062821517519300477noreply@blogger.com
