My Angel Blessings - Clip Art Lenses

I received my Squidoo Angel assignment to visit lenses in the clip art neighborhood on Valentine's Day, 2011. I couldn't have chosen a better day to start showing love for the wonderful creative clip art lenses - they're all about my favorite topic!

This lens is my album of all the wonderful clip art lenses I blessed within and around my Squidoo neighborhood on April Fool's Day, 2011.

Update, March 2012: I'm still flying around in search of great graphics lenses ...

What Makes a Great Lens?

Blessing qualities this angel looks for in your lenses

Pastiche's Squid Angel Blessing GuideAs a lensmaster and Squidoo Angel, I look for these key elements to award a thumbs up to a lens:

Original content - your own work presented as written text, topic outlines and ideas you're sharing that are yours, not copied from another lens or source.
Pictures and graphics - photos, clip art, divider graphics and backgrounds that relate to the lens. I like to know that the clip art used is original or used legally. Adding a credit note is a good idea.
Well-researched links to external sites with complementary content, or RSS from complementary blogs.
Copyright respect - content that links back to reference articles, news stories, quoted text, graphics and photos you've used with permission and credited to the owner/artist.
Shared love - featured lenses that were created by other lensmasters.
Guestbook(s) - I like to leave a comment when I visit a lens (whether I'm angeling or not). it's part of our community culture to encourage interaction and conversation.
Interactive elements - polls, plexo lists, duels, quizzes, bookmark buttons, tweet buttons and so on.
Design - Effective use of HTML or CSS, if used. I don't expect extra layout tweaks, but I do give credit for nicely done customizations. I also want to see at least 5 modules in a lens.
A bio paragraph with a photo or avatar are important - I want to know who you are! You can add an About me module, too, if you want to share more.

Note:I don't fuss too much over small typos or occasional spelling errors. If I hit a broken link I might send you a private note just to help you out. Stuff happens. And I make allowances for lensmasters whose primary language isn't English. If the lens is good and the intent is worthy, not to worry!

    Loved your lens! Cute clip art!!! Wish to be blessed someday for a nicely made lens too. Right now I still am learning to create lenses. Baby steps.

    Thanks! These little angels are my own clip art graphics, changed up a bit from some Valentine and baby shower graphics. Keep working on your lenses and you'll earn blessings from your neighborhood angels one day.
