Pinterest a Curious Cats best Friend

I found Pinterest a while back,not sure how I found it,weather I was told or just searched and it came up.Either way I soon realized that this was a great resource for my curious mind.Unlike search engine this allows you to see  pictures,and as we know I am a visual person.This has been a gold mine for me .

Here you can find things a little easier because other people are pinning things to their board, this allows easy access to things I find interesting.This is not a search engine at all.It does not pull up all the web pages and such .

What this does is allows you to find what interest your by allowing you to see and repin other's finds online.You can start your own board and make pins of your own.To me this allows me to save something I find interesting and allows me to 'save' it without having to bookmark the site.If you are like me I hate bookmarking because I am lazy and do not name the bookmark for what I was interested in .Therefore I can never find the site or image I booked marked it for in the first place.

I also have a problem with saving things to my computer and then forget where I put them. Pinterest has allowed me a fast easy way to save all the sites that I want to re find fast and easy.All I have to do is go to my board look up the interested site and that's it.When I click on the image it takes me to that listing on my board and then I just click once more and it opens the website that image is on.That easy.I  love it !

 If you want to find something like old looking tables and such ,you can type it in the search box on the top left of the pinterst  page and anything anyone has placed under the word old will come up for you to view.From there you have a vast resource of others that have already searched the web for the same things you have.You also get the added benefit of finding things that you might not have thought to look for.
You can add Pinterst to your blog allowing others to see what you find interesting.They have made it easy by  allowing you to create your own button to add to your site ,people can follow your boards to keep up with what you find as well as you can follow others so not to miss something someone out there that shares the same interest you have ......Millions of other people finding and sharing things for the love of exploring.

Photo Light box tutorial from Luthien

image is the property of Luthien

 I have often wondered how Luthien took great images of her art.They are very professional looking and inspiring.I love her work very much.So when I saw this tut she had on devantart i was so excited!She shows you how to make a light box like the one she  uses. Above is the image of   Luthien s   finished box and as you can see it looks very simple to  make. I am in the process of finishing my box .Mine is different than hers as I used the materials I had on hand.It was modeled after hers and so far it works great here is a image i took with my simple camera.(remember I have not finished mine yet.)

As you can see I still have some things to 

solve on mine but they took better pictures than I get with just my camera and house light . If you want to make one head on over to http://luthien27.deviantart.com/#/d4j6hu8
