I'm sure many of you by now are on Pinterest. If not, you need to be. It's become such a great way to organize my favorite images on the internet. What I like even more is that it links the image back to the original site to give credit where credit is due (something that's been in the news lately online).
I've created an art as craft board on Pinterest where I post works by artists I've featured on my blog as well as other articraft artists I've discovered. Here are some of my favorites.

i just started using pinterest. it so easy to get lost in there, but so full of amazing things.
As a visual bookmarking tool, I am in love with pinterest, though sometimes, what @Ludid said, I get lost and overwhelmed. I just popped over to look at your board (I adore that it's titled art as craft and not the other way around) you have so many beautiful images. Off to repin them all!
I love "Pinterest" but we need to have a facebook or Twitter account....
I apparently live under a rock, and had no idea about Pinterest until about three weeks ago, when I stumbled upon some of my work there, (much to my delight)!
The "request invitation" has had me confused, (trust me, it doesn't take much to confuse me) so I would be delighted to have you send me an invite.. thanks in advance!
P.S. Your boards are wonderful. I am always amazed by the treasures you find!
@Victoria, I'll send you an invite (wierd I know!).
@LaRimule - Oh no, I guess they assume everyone is on both!
Thanks Kathryn, it worked!
So far I've managed to resist Pinterest - I really don't need to spend more time online - though I can see what a good way it is to organise things. I expect I will give in eventually! You might have just lured me in with your delightful choice of images.
I'm really enjoying using Pinterest too. Thank you so much for featuring my image in this post
@stitchinglife, it has amazingly saved me time by helping me find some great artists online. @claire, you're welcome! Love you blog, I've learned so much from it.
thanks for the heads-up, Pinterest had thus far escaped my notice. mind you, the thought of yet another time-vampire lurking in the shadows is a bit unsettling!
i love this board of yours. love, love. and i agree that pinterest has quickly become one of my favorite online spots, it's endless inspiration!
So, i have to follow you :) I'm also on pinterest..i'm gonna search ..
your boards look great and make me want to use pinterest more but gosh - it's another thing to do...just started on tumblr - fun and actually easy but less organized that pinterest..
I love your board! Just got to get on there. Thanks for putting some of my posts on there!
