. . The net is so big, what can I tell you? Here are some of my favorite sites. Explore! Keep clicking! I set these up to open in new windows, so you can surf as far as you want and come right back here. An amazing site -- beautiful visually, well written, thoughtful, and a treasure trove of links to explore (San Antonio to Florence to Paris in three clicks). If you start browsing through here, don't be surprised if it's 2 AM the next time you look up: The Artchive, formerly the Texas Net Museum of Art They dont call this the World Wide Web for nothing. Click here and visit Little Red Riding Hoods grandma. I bet it takes you three clicks to find out what country you surfed to! I come here every so often for a magical five-minute vacation. They have an English language page somewhere; Ill leave you the fun of finding it yourself.Rocca Al Mare Open-Air Museum For stamping, I like to start with Rubberstampmadness The best on-line article I've seen about eraser carving is this one by Raven of the Carvers Consortium e-mail list. Heres an offbeat site run by a long time mail art friend of mine: Lime Green Evolution World of Art Individual craftspeople are finding that the web is an ideal way to show their work. This beautiful site is by a quilter whose work we saw at the Paradise City crafts show: Colorquilts An essay about web site design led me to the first online journal I had seen. In general, web journalers read and link to each other, so if you find one, you can find lots more. The trick is to find ones that are interesting to you. Here are some that are interesting to me. Bill Chance, from Dallas, usually focuses on one thing that happened in the day and talks about what it means to him. His writing is sometimes superb and always thoughtful: Daily Epiphany What John Scalzi writes is really a column, not a journal. He's a pro and can be extremely funny: The Daily Whatever CJ Silverio is the person who got me started reading journals. She has strong opinions and is as intelligent a person as I've found on the net: Ceej's Black Book Diane Patterson, an aspiring screenwriter, has a diary of a trip to Israel as well as knowledgable movie reviews. She's been writing less regularly since having a baby than she did before: Nobody Knows Anything Shelley is like a friend who drops in, helps herself to a beer, kicks off her shoes, and blurts out whatever's on her mind. I love it. Language may not be suitable for children: Shelleyness.
