Although there are many text links on my pages, there are some special sites I
would like to add
a logo for. The first few listings are credited with being exceptional
tutorial sites, where I learned many of the tools and techniques for creating
graphic arts.
Those following are gifted artists who have also shared their graphics
expertise, but have also become "cyber friends". *smile*
The second group gives special recognition to those "cyber friends" from
Graphic Buds! Have learned "volumes" since I became a part of this very sharing
group of people! *smile*
|
Aesthetic Web Creations is a wonderfully helpful site. I learned how to use
the "basic tools" of Paint Shop Pro 5 there and then went on to discover Blade
Pro. ;-)
|
Mardi Wetmore has wonderful tutorials from "beginner" to "advanced" graphic
techniques. She has claimed to be "colour impaired", but no one will ever
believe her on that point.
Her site is phenomenal from start to finish (which, hopefully, it never will).
;-)
|
Carol Brooksbank is always willing to help. Whenever I ask a question on
"Jolly Roger's Forum", Carol is first to leave an answer. She has a
"delicious" sense of humour, too! Her tutorials cover several graphics
programs. Don't miss her gallery. Some really beautiful work on those pages!
|
Dr. Jo Ann's "jewels" are more than the opals, pearls and amethysts found on
her pages. Her tutorials are insightful and rewarding. She encourages
experimentation, but gives you all the tools to do it with.
|
Robin Rowlands, (aka "The Hoods"), is very technically/graphically gifted. Her
gallery housed spectacular digital oils and unique "sci-fi" special effects
graphic renditions. Besides being a very sharing person, the lady from "down
under" has a sharp wit to boot.
This link is once again working because she has allowed her tutorials and tubes
to be,
once again, uploaded to the web. I missed her and am so glad she has
reconsidered....she has so much to offer and was sorely missed. You're special
people Robin....thank you so much!!
|
Donna is another special person. If you like left-hand jewel borders, hers is
the site to visit. She recently has started sharing some of her graphical
expertise with the net. My cabinetry is from her "shadow box" tutorial. She
has very unique Blade Pro presets and a tutorial for needlepoint stitching in
Paint Shop Pro. You just gotta go see for yourself! ;-)
|
J.L. McKenzie, (aka Kenzie), is not only a very gifted artist, but one of my
very best "cyber" friends. *smile*
If your interest is geneology, then she can give you expert advice.
Be sure to visit her gallery while you're there.
My special favourite is the victorian silhouettes. Absolutely gorgeous!
|
My very first client, (she and her husband), and now a very good friend and
fellow graphics enthusiast. *smile*
Crystal's cavern is chock full of wonderful crystalisms and graphics. Be sure
not to miss her "Grotto" in her gallery pages. Some very special treasures
there!

The links below are my special tribute to my friends at "Graphic Buds". They
have enriched my life in so many wonderful ways....I would like to give
something back to them....no matter how small.
|
Shelley's new domain...."Design Delights" has an abundance of visual treats!
She also has some great backgrounds, websets and resources you will definitely
want to check out. Don't miss her tubes....she's got lots of great ones set up
by category.
Shell is a very special friend that I feel privileged to know! *smile*
|
Such a tiny logo for such a "big web presence"!
Please visit and see "Web Warriors"!
|
As Deb would say "Some of the best PSP Resources on the web"!
Deb has
volumes
of tubes to share....many, of which, are on CD for purchase.
Know you'll enjoy a visit here! *smile*
|
BJ is a very dear friend and has a multitude of treasures to share with
you....hummingbirds, butterflies, herbs, Java applets, mouse cursor trails,
and many wonderful tutorials for KPT 6.0, Poser, Bryce and so much more.
Don't miss her Art Studio....it's a real treat!!
|
Jane
Braz, of psptubes.com, has something for everyone! Pages and
pages of beautiful, original tubes have to be her most famous
contribution to the graphics community, but you should't miss
all the other
goodies
she so generously shares with
graphics enthusiasts.
There are beautiful wallpaper
fills...often with complimentary picture tubes, borders, and
terrific tutorials! While you're visiting...check out her
gallery. Some spectacular artwork found therein! *smile*
|
Wompuss has wonderful things to share with you too!
Gorgeous websets, "wompietiles", gift cards, bookmarks, clip-art,...just to
name a few. Don't miss her tutorials, or her gallery...they're pretty special
too! *smile*
|
Janet B. has much to share with her visitors...PSP tubes, waterfills, and tons
of gradients. She also has many "Blade-Pro Presets that you might want to view
and download. There are also PSP tutorials that you might want to try out,
(purchase-ware, only).
Her galleries are outstanding...so, don't miss them!
Love all of her images, but especially love her "Blinkies"...they are
exceptionally cute tiny animations...dispersed about her pages. *smile*
"CK"...as she is fondly called, has lots to share with her friends, but I think
my most favourite are her Poser "Koshini" figures. They are the cutest little
girls with an "animee" flavour to the artwork. They are available on her site
as "tubes...some are "freebie" downloads, others are available in her "on-line"
store. *smile*

Rhonnie had tubes, tubes and more tubes to offer. They were all spectacularly
made!
In my humble opinion....this was a "must have" link for tube lovers.
Unfortunately....this has become another site that has been discontinued
indefinitely. We love what you have given the graphics community and wish you
were back with us. Miss you Rhonnie!!!!
|
Barry's Clip Art Server is a great place for copyright free images. I mostly
look for black and white images to colour in Paint Shop Pro.
|
A wonderful site for dingbat fonts. I'm definitely a "fontaholic"; last count
was just over 200. Some are regular fonts, but most are dingbats. A great
resource for graphics!
|
A special thank you to "Spectrum Glass" for allowing me to use their samples in
my stained glass renditions.
For those of you interested in real glass art, this is a terrific place to shop.
