I consider knitting an art form. I love creating the end result, whether it's texture or colorwork. There's nothing that inspires me more than seeing the design emerge from my needles as I knit.

The short answer: I find inspiration in books, in people, and in other art. But my main source of inspiration is nature, and its awesome and loving Creator. God is the ultimate artist, and gave me this talent and desire to create.

The patterns and designs on shells are produced naturally by the animal that makes the shell, and the pattern is actually part of the shell, not a surface ornamentation. Each species has some patterns that are common to its members. [2]

A boy found an eagle's egg and he put it in the nest of a prairie chicken. The eagle hatched and thought he was a chicken. He grew up doing what prairie chickens do-scratching at the dirt for food and flying short distances with a noisy fluttering of wings. It was a dreary life. Gradually the eagle grew old and bitter. One day he and his prairie chicken friend saw a beautiful bird soaring on the currents of air, high above the mountains. "Oh, I wish I could fly like that!" said the eagle.

If you can't get help from places like the HTML Writers Guild, try WebMonkey. An HTML generator, like Dreamweaver, is an invaluable tool for those wanting to create pages but are prevented by the fact that they do not know how to code. Of course, there is a learning curve for Dreamweaver, too. Many free sites, like Geocities and Tripod have their own templates for creating simple sites, but usually they are limited in the amount of graphics/images you can display.

I believe that every one is beautiful when they are open to being Truly Seen. If open your self to truly being looked ‘into’ and share this intimate experience with me, I will paint the beautiful person I see to the best of my abilities. I painted Isabelle at 80+ years. She brought forth a mischievous young side. I painted what I saw and am told the portrait is young. The Truth is, so is Isabelle.

Protect such items by hinging them into mats that have both a back board and a window board. Ask your picture framer for museum-quality mat board. To be of museum quality, the board must be free of acid (alkaline, ideally pH 7 to pH 9) and colored with non-damaging dyes that don't run if they get wet. The board could be 100% cotton rag or chemically purified wood pulp (high alpha-cellulose and negative to lignin). Poor quality mats can damage the pictures they are supposed to protect.

The student owns the work regardless of whether he or she used University or state funds in the production of the work. There could be an unusual case where a student used extraordinary (expensive) resources of the University, like a supercomputer or something really expensive, such that might give the University a reason to want an interest, but it would have to work out such a deal with the student. I don't think it would happen automatically.
