“Forgotten Fields” Photography & Artwork / by Holly Kempe © An old moss covered timber gate at the corner of a field of grass. “Whenever my journey gets hard to bear / To fields I go to meet You there. / The Holy psalms I shall recount / My horse of courage I shall mount. / My journey through this land gets longer / My hunger for Your home gets stronger. / When hills to climb get only steeper / My love for You gets only deeper. / I shall not stray nor lose my course / With rein in hand, I’ll guide my horse / To fields of good and plenty be / These fields, the ones You promised me / Are void of enemies and grief. / These fields supply me with relief. / I mount my horse, I’m on my way / And in Your fields, My Lord, I’ll stay.” / ~Marie Paradise

USA, Montana, Glacier National Park, Saint Mary Lake. Shot this in July 2005 during a camping trip there. Just my little digital Kodak Easy Share camera that takes awesome images. Using Photoshop, I adjusted the levels and saturation a bit to see the bark of the tree better. One of my favorite pictures I’ve taken.

I recommend printing these instructions so that you have them handy for reference. It is easier than switching back and forth to this screen. Sometimes the examples of framed photos can take up quite a bit of room on our profile pages. Here’s how you can make them smaller to take up less room. SHORT VERSION: Save the framed image to your computer and re-size it in a photo editing program. Then upload the smaller version back to RB using the “hide” feature. Once uploaded then you can right-click on the image to get the URL address in order to post the smaller version on your profile page. That was a quick-and-easy version for the more computer saavy. STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS: Below are more detailed instructions that explain how to add smaller examples (card, laminated, matted, etc.) to your profile. You can view my profile to see an example of the size I used. Click on “my bubble”. Click on “art” (on the 2nd row of links – not the top one). You should see “My Art” page – this is the page where you can edit your pics. Choose your photo and click on “Show Public View”. Click “Buy/Preview”. (Note: You won’t actually be buying, only previewing) Choose the frame of your choice, mat, color, etc. When the image of your framed photo appears on the screen, right click on the photo. A pop-up box will appear. Click on “Save Photo As”. Be sure to save as a jpeg (.jpg) file. A dialog box will appear. Choose a folder or location on your computer to save the framed pic. Remember where you save it. You are done with RedBubble for now. You can close your browser window or leave it open for later. Resize the Photo: You now will need to open the saved, framed image on your computer using a program such as Photoshop or Irfanview. You can use any software that will allow you to resize the image. For this example, I will use Irfanview. You can download this free software by going to www.irfanview.com If you are using another program, you will need to use the resize/resample feature. Open Irfanview. Open the framed image that you saved to your computer. Go to “Image” (top menu bar) – in the drop-down menu, choose “Resize/Resample” In the dialog box, you will need to change to a new size. For my own profile page, I chose approximately 175×141 pixels so that I could fit two images side-by-side. See my “profile page”: http://www.redbubble.com/people/patmonty/ for an example. These numbers are not set in stone. You may need to tweak the numbers to suit your own needs. Save your resized image in Irfanview, but be sure to remember where you have saved it. Close Irfanview and open RedBubble in your browser window. Add Smaller Image to Redbubble: Now you are going to upload the resized pic to RedBubble. IMPORTANT: Be sure to “Hide this work from others” When you upload, the resized image will be private and only can be viewed by you. Once uploaded, then right click on the private, resized image. A pop-up box will appear. Right click on the photo. In the pop-up box, click on “properties” (at the bottom of the list). The “Properties” box will pop up – highlight the address (URL) . {Click & drag will highlight the entire address} IMPORTANT: Be sure to highlight the entire address – only two lines will be visible, but if a third line of the address hidden, be sure you drag down to highlight all lines of the address. Next copy the URL address. Press Ctrl-C (press the control key and the “C” key at the same time). You won’t see anything happen on the screen, but that is fine. Click OK to close the “Properties” box. Go to “edit your profile”. Press Ctrl-V (press control key and the “V” key at the same time). You should see the URL address. Put an exclamation point ( ! ) in front of the URL address and another one at the end of the URL address. It should be similar to this example, but without the spaces: ! http://images-0.redbubble.com/img/art/cropped/size:xsmall/view:main/993259-1-yellowstone-in-winter.jpg ! Remember, NO SPACES before or after the exclamation point (!) – the beginning of the URL should look like this: !http:// The end of the URL address should look like this: winter.jpg! Now check the public view of your profile to see if the smaller-sized image appears. Now you can add the html code for your next image. Keep the html code for each image separated by one space. If you have problems or questions, please don’t hesitate to let me know. Have a blessed day, / Patricia CLICK HERE FOR ALL TUTORIALS BY PATRICIA

I am certainly no expert at making tee shirts. I know there are others out there who are the real experts. So I’m just going to share a few helpful hints that came out of my struggles to get two tee designs uploaded on RB. Here’s what I did: Opened Photoshop Elements (or any other image editing program) and set up a new empty page. Set the dimensions to 2400 width x 3200 height with a transparent background. IMPORTANT NOTE: If the background is not transparent, it will not work! If you are one pixel off on the dimensions, it will not work! You cannot transpose the pixels either (NOT 3200 width x 2400 height) as it will not work! Transferred (copied) an image to the blank/transparent background. Added text to complete my design. Saved image as a .png file. NOTE: Other file extensions (such as .jpg) will not work! It must be a .png file! Uploaded to Redbubble with a default color and a default style. This will be the color and style (short-sleeve, long sleeve, etc.) you want to display on the page to showcase your design. NOTE: If you forget to choose the defaults, it will not work! Should I have a contest to see who can guess all the things I did wrong when I first tried to upload a tee shirt design? LOL! Don’t hesitate to let me know if you have problems or further questions.

I have written this tutorial more for the new bubblers that have recently joined. But if you have been around the site for awhile and still haven’t yet attempted to put a link in your profile, image description, or bubblemail, this should help. FOR THE COMPUTER SAAVY: Put quotation marks around the words you want to be the link. Then type a colon. Copy and paste the url address for the page, image, etc. that you want to link to. No spaces anywhere in the code. BEGINNER STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS: I would suggest printing these out to have next to the keyboard. It will be easier than switching back and forth to this screen. -Type the words you want to be the link: Bubblesite for Patricia -Put quotation marks around the words: “Bubblesite for Patricia” -Add a colon at the end: “Bubblesite for Patricia” : -Then add the url address for the page/photo you want to link to: http://patmonty.redbubble.com/ -It should look like this (without the space): “Bubblesite for Patricia”: http://patmonty.redbubble.com/ -I put a space after the colon so the html code would be visible in this journal. Take out the space and waa-laa! It becomes a link! Bubblesite for Patricia NOTE: In a bubblemail, it becomes a link after it is sent. In a comment, it becomes a link after the comment is added. In a journal or profile description, the clickable link is only seen in the public view. If you have problems or questions, please don’t hesitate to let me know.

This is Bassenthwaite Lake in Cumbria. Taken after several days of rain and floods, which has raised the lake levels to flood the shoreline. This is a rare moment of reflection on this lake, especially this late in the morning. The winter sun almost made this bush look on fire Shot in the Lake District
Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery View to Cradle Mountain Cradle Mountain National Park, World Heritage Area, Tasmania. Cradle Mountain forms the northern end of the wild Cradle Mountain to Lake St Clair National Park, itself a part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. The jagged contours of Cradle Mountain epitomise the feel of a wild landscape. The Cradle Mountain region is an area of marked geological contrasts. The region has been extensively shaped by glacial erosion and deposition over the past 2 million years. The various glaciers which covered the area have left behind a variety of glacial features including the U-shaped valley of the Dove River.
