my new interest, Pinterest

Well, after a day of really getting into delicious, I found a tool that better fits my needs: Pinterest. I love it.

Basically you collect images from online that you like. Lots of people use it for interior design or fashion. I'm using it for my art classes - one for 2D Design, one for 3D, one for Drawing. It's so so helpful. I can't wait to share with my students for some inspiration.
