I thought you might like to know where I go to get ideas from, where I find infos for my job or my hobbies, what I am interested in (remember I am not responsible for the sites and contents)
I have categorised my links and I hope it will make it easier to see what there is. If you have links you think will fit in with the general feel of my site, then mail them to me. Please notify any broken links.
I have a lot of links here.
Before you go off looking at them, make sure you bookmark my site - - because once you have started surfing away you will, after a few sites, no longer find back here. Bookmarking the Word-Painter will help you come back easily. And if you liked what I have offered so far you might want to come back in a month or so to see the changes I have made to the images and/or writings.

Search Engines:
About
- About is a bit like a web ring but there are "guides" who specialise in the topic you are interested in; you often get a long list of sites based on your search topic. I find it informative and varied.
The one below gives some english-language search engins with their logos. Some I have never used before as I live in Europe. 16 search engins on one page
Ask Jeeves
- Ask Jeeves, he's a knowledgeable butler as far as web sites and subjects are concerned.
On the other hand, you can ask a well-informed Mamma ;-)http://www.mamma.com
And now for KIDS !!!
- Not only a list with search engins for kids and a description what might be found there, but also possibility for kids to search on well-known engins. A good idea.
Below there is a nice search engin for people searching things in and about Canada. Lots of names I don't know, that means I have a few hours ahead to look around. Just have to think of something I'd like to know... native american, towns, regions, and also French language ones. Canadian search engin list
on which TOPIC do you need a specialist German search engine?
- Having done something for French and English speakers and learners, here is something for people wanting to look around German sites in the original language.It is a list of all search engines which specialise in a subject. Type in your subject, you get a list of the engins carrying info, you just go and look what is listed.
And now a german search engin to help KINDER do their research (=kids...)german language search engin for kids/
Search for topics in the Sciences (english)
- If you want to get info about a science subject, this is a good site. I'm a frequent visitor here on the health, psychology, social science pages.
If you are looking for sites that treat a special subject, you might find them in a web ring. All sites about the same subject get together, have links between each other, you just type in your topic of interest and get a list of all rings connected to the topic (with number of individual sites who have joined). This can end up as serious surfing !the home page of WEBRING

A mix of links: fun, non-representative, in no order of importance - - but it gives a rough idea of the areas of my interests if you have not already got an impression of those. According to what I need for job, home, hobby, my list of 'interest' sites changes quite often...
HARP info ! here started my wind-harp project

Below a link to an interactive guide to the works of TOLKIEN, comprehensive dictionary, other interesting "research"you like the works of JRR Tolkien
Calligraphy supplies and links
- If you like beautiful writing, calligraphy, have a look at what they sell and offer. UK site. Get paper, books, seals, ink, pens. You only need to add your patience ;-)
And here is the same subject from an american (or a canadian?) site. In English and French! It's vast, prepare for a long stay unless you know exactly what you want.american calligraphy supplies and links

The following gives an incredible amount of info, dictionary, anything to do with disability and handicap and health in GermanGerman link site "Disability"
Medieval links and links
- medieval links. What more can I say. Be prepared to surf if you are interested in medieval things!
We all know about the magick of herbs and plants we eat and drink; here is a german site with info (and you don't have to be a witch to be close to Nature and heal with and benefit from, what She offers). An English and French translation is, I think, available for some of it. magical plants
More about our connection with Mother Earth
- Find your roots, find the Earth, find yourself, sing out your Being and the magic and mystery of life. There are special CDs for thinkers and mysics here with texts; good for relaxation -
Ecology is the buzz word. Global warming a real danger. We have for too long been "all mighty". The Earth lives. Gaia, forgive.Gaia and James Lovelock
Search an Encyclopaedia
- Encyclopaedia Britannica - get your information.Nothing to add to that :-)
French is a beautiful language even when one does not understand it. I have problems with its grammar and spelling, but nontheless I got my brilliant diploma in France. This site helped me a lot! So it might interest scolars and students. No fear: it's a lively entertaining site. I'd like the same for English and German (please e-mail)About the French Language.
Another of my favourite medieval pages: recipes for foods. I like the look of the site, too as everything is theme coordinated, from images to scripts. If you have a similar site on clothing and shoes to make oneself, please e-mail me the URL. Medieval recipes
Maori site, beautifully made
Take a trip to New Zealand : lots of info if you are interested in the Maori culture, music, e-cards. I have a pen friend there, we know each other since 1968. "Hi Johneen :-)" - - It's interesting to observe people, but social workers, educators etc often have to read and interpret gestures and behaviour where someone can't or won't talk. The following is a fairly scientific psychology site about what gestures reveal.Non-verbal communication
beautiful photos of flowers, animals, landscapes etc.I like to send e-greeting cards and the 'nature' ones from this site are beautifully presented. A lot of other themes,too.
- An essay on the development of writing from cave paintings to html. I liked the look and found the contents fascinating.A personal research site about WRITING
Sites in the Art Heals groupI am interested in understanding the mind, reducing stress, helping people to feel good about themselves. It's part of my job, it seems in my temperament. This group of sites deals with this aspect in a way that I feel happy with, and can relate to as an artist, an educator, a care worker, a human being in harmony with myself and my world, someone who lives with and respects Mother Nature.
Sometimes I need some specific information on how the brain is affected by circumstances, so I can research into how we can help. I am finding this site useful Brain function
A French Art and Crafts site for children The site is in french, but easily understandable through the images, and here is another site with a huge collection of links for children. This site is in English ...Kids sites for the young at heart
My page presenting work ideas for educators, support workers, social workers caring for disabled people......SORRY...... this page is not yet available.........
