Landscaping & PotteryAll You Want To Know About Landscaping

Help! I need inspiration to get my creative juices flowing!?

I love art! All kinds. I used to draw, do pottery and paint. I want to start again. I am really interested in doing some mosiacs and pottery. I also would like to learn about recycling glass bottles and making something creative out of them. Does anyone know of any websites that might be helpful or any other resources I could look into…books and the such?
Anything would be helpful
Thanks for the answers, but I guess I am looking for some how to info and I don’t have a lot of time to go to classes (I’m a stay at home mom).

In addition to what’s been said in the other answers there are two websites I’ve found recently which might interest you.
The first is really for school students but it’s interesting in that all the projects are artist led, a lady demonstrates how she does her mosaics in one section of it.

This next one is a bit more wacky and dubious, it’s a community (a bit like YA) called Instructables, people send in their step by step instructions with photos about how to make, do and invent a whole variety of things, so I would imagine the quality of advice varies like it does here!
There’s an art and crafts section, which includes something about bottle cutting.
