...when I paint my own creation, it never seems to be good enough no matter how long I spend on it. Why does this happen? My paintings have received compliments and offers for purchase, but I always feel as though it's still not "finished". Any way to overcome this?

Okay, I've been at this a while and I'm here because I am truly stumped! I have no artistic ability, so making/drawing/carving/sculping these myself isn't an option.

I have created a 2-player strategy boardgame themed around the seven deadly sins. I need 14 pieces all together, representing the 7 sins and the 7 opposed virtues. THey should be about the size of chess pieces. IDEALLY, each sin/virtue would have its own token, one that fit with the sin in question (wrath, pride, etc.). Here's what I've tried so far:
* Stealing from chess sets. There are seven sins and six different chess pieces in a set, so it never works out right.
* Looking for clip art. The problem is find 14 drawings that match one another. I can find individual symbols that work, but not a complete set.
*Hiring someone. Too expensive! While I'm willing to spend some money on this, 14 original pieces of art is out of my range.

So, are there casts I can buy, art I can use, something out there to make my tokens? :)

Someone made one for me of a moderate size (a long time ago) ... how do you make one that is really big? Are there places that sell these supplies like wood, and where do you get a canvas that large (like 5'x4')? Do you need alot of space to do it? Outside or inside?

I'm making a website and I need some cool backgrounds instead of just boring solid colors. Anyone have a link to a place where I can copy and paste backgrounds? Thanks if you do!!

(Unfortuanately, my website isn't published yet, so no one can see it unless you have Yahoo! SiteBuilder.)

I am just curious to know what if there is any special meaning or if it is just a design that people choose.

okay, i know about intensity, like orange with blue, yellow with purple, and so on, colors across from each other, but like take blue and orange for example, with red and yellow, you make orange, do you put blue to orange or blue to orange to make an intensity chart?
