Online inspiration for your projects

    To travel can also be a big source of 

    inspiration. I always bring my camera 

    wherever I go. Often I don't have to 

    travel far. This gallery of art tiles, for 

    example, is from a store in Huntsville. 

    It reminds me that there is strength 

    in numbers and that you can mix motifs 

    pretty liberally as long as there is one or 

    two unifying features; in this case the size 

    and shape of the tiles.
