Art, photography and puzzles...

Ranked #344 in Squidoo Community, #49,733 overall

My parents have three kids and I'm the least artistic. That's not saying much, because both my brothers aim to be professional artists. Between the two of them they do poetry, performances, short story writing, music and yes, visual art as well.

Me? I write nonfiction and I design websites. But the family bug hasn't skipped me completely. For instance I make ceramics. On this lens I share everything along those lines that I've published online. Whether it's collections of beautiful calendars or posters, or my own own holiday pictures; whether it's jewelry collections or a mandala art project or a collection of Art jigsaw puzzles.

Defining Art

On this lens I'm defining art as widely as I can: whether it's the visual arts, music or creative writing. Since I don't do creative writing and haven't made lenses about the subject either, what's left is music and visual art. I'm a visual person, so most of my lenses about art are about visual art. Still, I'm also sharing my one musical lens here.

Art Jigsaw Puzzles

My dad loves a good jigsaw puzzle: you know, the kind with thousands of pieces and lots of details to make the puzzle fun and doable. On this page I've gathered some jigsaw puzzles that I'm sure he'd love to try (to my mom's amazement btw).

Spiritual puzzles

I made this lens when I found out that vintage posters were being turned into puzzles in the UK. Unfortunately, as I made this lens, I found that these were usually not available in the USA. Still, I think it's a fun idea to have the classic images of the aura and chakras available in puzzle format.
