I’ve finally joined the Pinterest brigade and could spend
many hours looking at gorgeous and inspiring images. If used well (as opposed to a way of playing
on the computer, pretending to be useful!), it is a great research tool. I’m still making work based on ancient
goddess figures and was amazed at how many amazing images were out there – I had
performed numerous internet searches when I first got interested and was
rewarded with scant pickings. However, 15mins
on Pinterest and there was sufficient imagery to last me ages.

I know there is an ongoing debate about copyright and
pinning on Pinterest, so I’ve only included a screenshot of my board. You can see the whole thing here. Just to whet your appetite I’ve also included
a couple of images that I took myself at the Ashmolean in Oxford and the
Burrell Collection in Glasgow.

I’m hoping to make this a regular Friday feature, which
gives me an excuse to waste/spend time on Pinterest! Have you got addicted yet?
