More new stuff for you, and a few hints on what’s on the way soon… 1. Change the order of your art and designs! And check out the stats on how many views, comments, favourites and sales each has received. 2. The Portfolio in MyBubble has been split into Art and Clothing sections. This is a precursor to giving art, writing, and clothing their own separate public areas. 3. “Journal entries” have been renamed blogs. We are working towards separating out “written work” (e.g. poems, stories, articles) from blogs, which should make a big difference to all you writers! 4. The old “people” page has been upgraded to community . Find out what’s happening on RedBubble, see which work is popular right now, meet featured people, and get involved in activities and competitions. Phew! It’s been a big week, but there is plenty more on the way soon…

Making an image show up in a journal entry or forum post

Go to an image that you want to display in a journal post and right-click on it, then select “Copy image location”- Now go and open a journal entry (or forum post or whatever) and paste the link in there. It will look something like this: Now, just add an exclamation mark before and after the image and you are done adding an image. Now you can add text and other images and save the work and your image will show up. For Internet Explorer users: 1. Right-click on the image and go to properties. Then: 2. highlight and copy all of that text and then paste it into your journal entry or forum post. 3. Add the exclamation mark before and after the link as shown above. 4. Add other text and images and you should be able to save and see your pictures! —-—-—-—-—-——- Trying to do this using Safari: Here is an image I loaded. I right-clicked and chose “Copy Image Address”. Let’s see if this works:

The next in my ‘taking me home’ series of Infrared photographs taken while on a journey to Antarctica. One of the charactaristics of IR film is that sometimes, just sometimes it will capture something that just can’t be seen by the naked eye. It is this quality that I so love it for. It lets me think I can peer beyond the veil so to speak. To record things that really shouldn’t perhaps be visible to us mere mortals. These scribbles in the sky over the fantastically etched top of a little iceberg is one of those photo’s. Apart from minor cleaning up in PS this image is as it is on the negative. And the sky was perfectly clear and bright blue with not a cloud in sight. My particular research area has to do with Captain Robert Falcon Scott and his doomed 2nd expeditition to the South Pole in the early 19th C. On the occasion of the Midwinter Dinner at the base camp in1911 there was an extraordinary Auroral display which all the men went outside to watch and which moved Scott immensely. I am going to put in some lines from his journal from that occasion and it is these words of Scott’s that for me contexulize this little photograph of mine: “There is infinite suggestion in this phenomenon, and in that lies its charm; the suggestion of life, form, colour, and movement never less that evanescent, mysterious – no reality. It is the language of mystic signs and portents- the inspiration of the gods-wholly spiritual – divine signalling. Might not the inhabitants of some other world (Mars) controlling mighty forces thus surround our globe with fiery symbols, a golden writing which we have not the key to decipher?” Who is man and what his place, / Anxious asks the heart perplex, / In the recklessness of space, / Worlds with worlds thus intermixt, / What is he, this atom creature, / In the infinitude of nature?*

Running Sheet for Exhibitions

Looking for a ‘check list’ or ‘running sheet’ for your next exhibition? Thanks to the power of google.com, and a spare hour on a Saturday afternoon of sporadic rain, I found a few PDF’s that should help you: Events Management Check List ... I really like this one! It’s comprehensive, has tick-boxes, and could easily be modified to suit any type of event. Running, Promoting and Organsing your Event / ... Page 1 to 17 have great information on setting up and ensuring your t’s are crossed and i’s are dotted. Page 18 to 20 are the pages you want to print! Club/Association Management Program / ... This is a most extensive booklet (36 pages) outlining EVERYTHING about exhibition running. Whilst it is aimed at sport clubs, the information is easily transferable to anyone’s exhibition. Page 19 says … / ” It is essential that an event has an evaluation process that is more than simply monitoring the planning and implementation. Evaluation should be carried out through the life of the event as well as at the end. Information recorded from monitoring provides a record and can be kept as a historical record for events that are held regularly. Criteria for success, and methods for measuring those criteria, need to be set when the event is first planned. Measures depend on the important questions to be answered. Questions may have to do with attendances, quality of staff, revenue, public opinion and press coverage. Methods for obtaining the information needed to answer the questions might include statistics for attendance, questionnaires from participants and spectators, and financial records. “ Survival Guide to Event Management / ... Another long-winded yet comprehensive (56 page) PDF that has a lot of useful information. Visit these pages for the details you really want: 9, 16, 24, 27, 32, 36-37. But you MUST read every other page in conjunction to get an overall and complete view of how to run your exhibition properly and successfully! Submission form for Major Events / Activities in Adelaide / ... Maybe your exhibition is SOOOO BIG that you need to fill this in. Event Guidelines / ... This could easily have been ripped off from any one of the suggested PDF’s above, but it still has some interesting information. You’ll want pages 21 to 24.

Red Bubble Tip #1: Adding a Portfolio Banner to Your Red Bubble Profile Page

I am not sure if someone else has already posted a tutorial on this, so I thought I would have a go at it. I read this very insightful tutorial by admin Xavier Shay about posting a Portfolio into an email signature. I was toying around with the code, and discovered how to place the code on your Red Bubble profile page. I have noticed that some people have already figured out how to do this, so there are some who probably already know about this. I, however, did not know this until I toyed around with it and, so, I am sure that there others out there who might find this of value. I would first recommend that you read Xavier’s post and the comments that follow, as they were a very big help in learning how to do this. (1) The first step is to use the image location link that was provided in the forum tutorial: http://redbubble.com/people/username/recipe:banner;back_color:ffffff;orientation:horizontal;limit:4/username_banner.jpg (2) Next, paste this image location link somewhere in your “About Me” section between exclamation points, like this: !place the image location link here! (3) Now, notice the bold areas of the above link. You must insert your Red Bubble username (not your real name) where it says username (there are two spots in the link where you have to do this). So, my link would like like this: http://redbubble.com/people/bchrisdesigns/recipe:banner;back_color:ffffff;limit:4_;orientation:_horizontal;/bchrsidesigns_banner.jpg Can you tell where I have replaced “username” with “bchrisdesigns”? (4) Finally, if you take note of the italicized text in the image location link directly above, you will notice that the values of “back_color”, “orientation”, and “limit” are all italicized. These values are yours to control and manipulate to get the proper look and feel that you would like on your page. back_color: is the image’s background color, which you can change to any color using the standard HTML Color Code. Note, that you do not need to use the # (pound sign) that normally precedes HTML Color Code (i.e. ”#ffffff”) – you just need the code (i.e. “fffffff”). #ffffff is the color code for “white”. limit: is the number of thumbnails that will be seen in your banner. I have experimented with this in my blog and have discovered that the most you can set it to is “6”. On your Red Bubble profile page, the most you can really set it to is “4” for horizontal images and “6” for vertical images orientation: is the way your portfolio will be seen. This can be changed to either “horizontal” (from side-to-side) or “vertical” (up and down). And, that is it. Once you have decided how you want your image to look, just save your profile and presto! You’ve got a nifty banner on your page. BUT… If you would like your banner to be click-able, you need to add a link code to it, such as: ”! image location here ! ( link description here )” : hyperlink here You can copy and paste this example into your “About Me” section and then fill in the blanks with your information (make sure you delete any and all spaces). In the above example, replace the underlined text as follows: image location here: replace this text with the finalized image location link that we worked on in steps 1-4 above. link description here: replace this text with a description of what you would like people to see when they hover over your banner. (Mine says “View My Red Bubble Gallery”.) hyperlink here: replace this text with the actual hyperlink that you would like your image to link to (i.e. a specific Red Bubble section or your profile page; you can also link to your blog/website/etc.). Once you replace the text as indicated, simply save your edited profile and check out your radical awesomeness! Here is an example of mine (with hyperlink): I hope this helps everyone! Cheers! P.S. I am adding this to all of my groups in the hopes that everyone can use this tool to display their beautiful works of art (from Atmospheric Optics to Zoophoria). Much love!

Recently I got to thinking about some lines from one of my favorite books by Paula Rinehart, entitled Strong Women, Soft Hearts. They read: “How else can we learn about ourselves if not by forcing our hands to tell the truth about our hearts?” Nicole Johnson writes. It is incredible to see the way feelings and conclusions you did not know you even had slip out the end of a pencil. ...journaling is like a farmer tilling the soil – only this is the earth of your life that`s being tilled. It really is true; I find that when my heart is troubled, if I take the time to sit and do some journaling, by the time I`m finished I have a much greater grasp of what truly is going on inside of me, and I always feel much more at peace – not because things have changed, but because I have a better understanding of what`s going on (both internally and externally, usually!). And most importantly, it brings me to a place where I can more fully turn the whole situation over to God and release my sticky fingers of attempted control, realizing that it`s all in God`s hands anyway, and I`m just stressing myself out by trying to control something that I can`t. : ) A fascinating phenomenon, journaling! When was the last time you sat down with a pen (or at a computer) and just wrote/typed what you were feeling/thinking? Perhaps some great revelations are hovering just behind that pen or computer. Will you take the time to discover them?! I pray you do.

This is my mother, Lettie Grace. Born in Tennessee in 1922, raised with 15 siblings, she lived thru the great depression and worked in torpedo factories. She moved to Washington State in 1950 and has resided there since. She has eight children, sixteen grandchildren, eleven great-grandchildren (soon to be 13) and one great-great grandson, She is my inspiration, my mentor, my guiding light and my best friend. Just turning 87, she writes in her journal faithfully everyday. Spending time with her makes my heart happy. I was visiting one day and she began to write. Perfect opportunity and luckily I had my camera. Some editing on Photoshop and this is the end result. FEATURED IN “YOU’RE ACCEPTED” 3/23/2009 / FEATURED IN “HAPPY HAVEN-PHOTOGRAPHY” 4/26/2009

Created for the Create an exhibition poster for Make up Your Mind exhibition challenge. “Creativemums.com is a membership free network for females with a creative vision.” Hand drawn and painted in Corel Painter; outlines in pen and colours in watercolour. This is a combination of a little Art Nouveau and my own style. I tried to include a few of the Womanly endeavours of Creativemums such as painting, writing/journalism. I also included one of my poems in the drawn book. I Miss You / I sit so high upon a tree / And sing a song for thee, / A song of love, / A song of glee, / If only to have you here with me. / —Anne Hale Featured in Digital Brushstrokes group. / Featured in Make Up Your Mind group. © 2009 Anne Hale. / /

I began a journal of the natural world around me in April of 1990 (Hancock, NH, USA). I took walks and recorded and researched things I saw. And I mused. The paper is a highgloss. The book pages are apparent in the photos. I hope that doesn’t bother you. I find it quaint. Of course, it is my work.

Another entry from my leather moleskin journal. This was a reflection on how we’ve all got so many untold stories. I don’t want to go to my grave without passing on my stories that are worth passing on especially if there’s a chance those stories could affect or help another in any positive way. The same goes for my whole family…. I don’t want them passing without me finding out their important untold stories. I still don’t know half as much as I’d like to know about my Grandfather’s prisoner of war days and he passed many a year ago. So that story is with my Dad now and once he’s gone the story will be too. Perhaps I’ll sit down with Dad soon and write it all down? And then there’s so many of my own personal stories that only I, myself know. One’s that Im’ just not ready to share with another yet… whether emotional, physical or spiritual I just can’t put them out there just yet. I am sure one day though I’ll probably be ready to share them. What untold stories do you have that you’d like to make sure get passed on before you die?

If you’re not used to promoting your own work, writing articles or showing off your talents, there are some simple things you can do to test the waters and build confidence. Self promotion needn’t always be about saying ‘here, look at my art’. Your expertise, experiences and knowledge are just as good advertisements for you as an artist: Write a journal about an art event, gallery opening or exhibition you’ve attended. Sell someone else. Tell us about another artist you’ve spotted. Interview them. Give us a behind the scenes look at how you work. Show us pictures. Share hints and tips or write up a tutorial or ‘how to’ about the techniques you use. Share some great resources you’ve found online. Let us know about a big exhibition or show that’s coming to your town. Collaborate on a work with another artist then write about the experience. Tell us the story behind one of your works. Where it happened or what it means to you. Teach yourself a new technique or skill and write about what you learnt. Test drive (borrow) new camera equipment or computer software and write a review. / Once you’ve done these things, make sure you take the opportunity to get them out to the wider world. If social networking is your thing, post it as a note on Facebook, tweet about it on Twitter with a link back to the article and use relevant keywords so others may find it in Twitter search. Drop an email to a local paper or press if you’ve written about a local event. If you’ve written a great tutorial or review, think about bloggers that may be interested in sharing it with their readers. / / The key to getting started is to find something related to your art or your work that you’re confident in sharing or writing about. Don’t just focus on RedBubble as an audience, think about how you can get that extra bit of mileage out of what you’ve written about and who else might be interested. Above all, don’t underestimate your own knowledge or expertise, or assume people won’t be interested or they’ll already know about it. Writing the Community posts has revealed time and time again that this usually isn’t the case and for every 10 people who are familiar with the topic, there are 10 more who really gain some insight from what you’ve written.
