Here are a few of them (click the thumbnails for larger version):

While I am barely a coffee drinker, much more a latte drinker, this was all new to me and after a little digging, I discovered that decoration of cups of latte by artistically swirling the milk dates back at least to the 50’s in Italy and is popular around the world. Unsurprisingly, it has come to full flower on the coffee crazed west coast of North America, particularly Vancouver. There are even competitions to crown the most decorative baristas in which the Vancouver folks do very well and you have superstar Vancouver baristas getting gigs in Italian restaurants in New York. It must make it hard to actually drink the coffee!

Aside from the beautiful recreation of Navajo designs, the history of this tribe’s weaving is very interesting. I always thought Spiderman & Spiderwoman were comicbook heroes. Not so!

I don’t have my friend Beth around anymore to show me how to draw rocks in streams or a salad or other things one might have to illustrate to communicate with someone but this site will help. I particularly liked the steps in drawing a bee and trees in woods. I can’t draw but I can think & I often want to draw just something small to feed my artistic thirst. This is a great place for me & for those of you lucky enough to understand the mechanics of building a picture – this should be right up your alley.
