Fabulous Art Blogs

One of the things I enjoy most about blogging is how one blog can lead to another, and another, and another.  I find some of the most interesting blogs that way, don't you?

Lately, I'm really drawn to blogs which showcase the works of other artists, past and present. 

Artisans Gallery Team (http://artisansgalleryteam.blogspot.com/) is a new blog put together by a group of talented artists from around the world. They have created a unique on-line art gallery of high quality handmade items ranging from clothing and jewelery to mosaics, pottery and mixed media pieces.

The Textile Blog (http://thetextileblog.blogspot.com/) is a fabulous resource for anyone interested in a wide range of textile designs.

A Polar Bear's Tale (http://polarbearstale.blogspot.com/) is a feast for the eyes in so many ways, you really need to take a look for yourself.

Portraits of Painters (http://portraitsofpainters.blogspot.com/) is a gorgeous collection of artist self-portraits.


Gather Ye Rosebuds While Ye May (http://gather-ye-rosebuds-while-ye-may.blogspot.com/) is one of the most beautiful collections of the art of John William Waterhouse, the Pre-Raphaelites, William Morris, the Arts & Crafts movement, Art Nouveau and various Victorian artists.

Anonymous Works (http://anonymousworks.blogspot.com/ ) is an eclectic assortment of anything interesting.  You never know what they'll find next.

Love the Art Forever (http://lovetheartforever.blogspot.com/) is a collection of the blogger's favorite art prints.


The Constant Gatherer (http://theconstantgatherer.blogspot.com/) is an interesting art treasury, which also features architecture.

I'm always looking for more blogs which feed my mind and soul and imagination.  I'm sure I've missed listing  a few which I already know about.  And I know there are many more out there I haven't discovered yet.  Are there any you'd like to add to this list?

I knew I was missing one!

Be sure to have a look at this one, too:

A Faerietale of Inspiration (http://a-faerietale-of-inspiration.blogspot.com/) is another feast for the eyes where you'll find anything from delicate watercolors to art dolls and sculptures and jewelry.
