I recently visited the UNESCO world heritage site of Hampi, in south India. Absolutely breathtaking. The entire city was built of granite during the 14th-16th centuries. Why granite? the area was (and still is) a bouldering paradise, with a river nearby -- the perfect spot to build an empire, because the materials were at hand.
I could spend hours looking through art supply catalogs thinking of new ideas. But some of the best ones come from making the most of whatever is close by.
