1.  Inspiration and information from Marney Makridakis herself. Marney is the creator and founder of Artella, and in each "Musings" she shares her heart -- personal notes, insights into ArtellaLand and the world at large, and hints and suggestions for improving your art and your life.  Each issue of the ARTELLAGRAM includes an interview with an artist -- one of Artella's own, or one that has an especially meaningful relationship to Artella. You'll find insights into the artist's life, art, and attitude, plus information that you'll be able to use in your own studio.  In this section of the ARTELLAGRAM you'll find an "Art Tip" that shares an art technique, project or tip for you to try on your own -- usually with a link to a photo for further inspiration and ideas. We love search the artistic world to find the very best ideas to bring you! The Creativity Tip section also includes a "Writing Tip", which offers a writing exercise, approach, or prompt to try to help you stretch your writing muscles and try something new. Perfect for both beginning and seasoned writers, our outside-the-lines tips are sure to challenge you...and they are included in each and every issue!  We bring you "hot-off-the-press" news from the world of Artella, including the newest freebies, sales, contests, and magical opportunities. This section also includes notes about what's new in the Artella Cafe. (Note: For the most complete and up-to-date Artella news, visit the "Hot News" forum in the Café – which will be updated frequently. You can go to the "Hot News" forum by clicking here!)  "QuotzCrystal" is a printable "golden nugget of wisdom" included at the bottom of each and every Artellagram as a gift of inspiration!
