• NO SPINACH FOR YOU... OR ON THE ROAD AGAIN...

  My husband, Monty, and I started out Saturday morning on a road trip. We drove about 10 hours the first day and made it to the Oklahoma state line, stopping in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Our plan is to drive straight through for two days to get to our western-most point and then make our way very gradually back east toward home (and new granddaughter, Ella!) via old Route 66 through New Mexico, Texas, and Oklahoma. On Saturday night we had a bit of trouble finding a room. All the rooms on the east side of Fort Smith were full to capacity. “Why?” we asked the clerk at the first hotel stop. “Why, because of the Spinach Festival!” “The WHAT festival?” “Spinach Festival.” Okay, we heard right first time. We have never been to a spinach festival (have you??) and if we did not need to make it further west, we might have gone to our first one. No spinach for YOU! For Popeye, maybe but not us!

• Inspirations from Buck's Mountain

  One of the inspirations I draw on for my own work sometimes is a trip we took to Georgia some years back – and the girl (well, woman really) who lives, surrounded by nature, on the top of Buck’s Mountain – Patricia Montgomery. She’s been at the art of photography for a number of years, and her array of filters for her digital canon amazed me. Even more amazing was some of her photographs – some are what she thought of as vacation photos, but many them could grace any travel magazine or brochure. She has an eye for composition and scenic views that results in these wonderful scenes of nature through all the states they have visited. Some of my favourites aren’t here on the bubble (yet), but there are plenty of lovelies in her gallery. The Golden Gate Bridge in Fog Wyoming Butte King of the Alpine Tundra and who could resist this: Go have a look at her gallery and leave a comment or two – she’s a great southern gal with lots of southern hospitality. She’ll charm the socks off ya! On to the interview. What drew you here to the Redbubble community? On your recommendation my dear friend, Gracey! Since joining in April, I have been pleased with a first-rate site to showcase my images, uplifted by a supportive community of artists, and blessed by new friends. How does your creativity affect other aspects of your life? So much to do, so little time! I first discovered my creative streak at the age of 11 when I wrote a short story, a silly little Christmas mystery about Santa’s missing bag of toys. Over the years I have tried a little bit of everything, from sewing to hand-tinting photos to woodworking (with all those big-boy power tools). Never afraid to tackle something new, at this point in my life I have probably forgotten half of the countless things tried over the years. I still sew and occasionally hand-tint black & white photos, but haven’t built a piece of furniture in several years. But for more than 20 years, photography has been the constant light that has never dimmed. Ah, I digress. The actual question was how does my creativity affect other aspects of my life? Because photography is such a consuming passion, the dust bunnies sometimes run amok. That aside, on an fundamental level my creativity is a gift from my Lord and just one part of the many parts that sum up the whole me. What is currently your favorite medium? Photography, hands down! My earliest memory is looking down into my mother’s old box camera, seeing that tiny bit of world reflected back at me, and being totally fascinated. Fast forward to now. I was a late-comer to digital, clinging to film a bit longer than most. On our last trip I took over 1600 images. With the expense of developing, I could never have done that with film. Fully captivated now by the digital world, the LCD monitor on the back of the camera produces instant gratification and the computer permits tweaking that can make a good photograph into a better one. These are exciting times in the world of photography! What subjects do you enjoy the most in your work? My love for nature and outdoors has manifested itself over the years in landscapes and wildlife shots, most taken on our travels. A recent road trip on a stretch of historic Route 66, created a new passion for photographing disappearing American icons: old signs, antiques, vintage cars, store fronts, restored architecture, dilapidated buildings. After returning home, I have been more aware, seeing there are the same photo opportunities right here in our hometown. My next undertaking is to capture them before they are gone forever. Tell us about one person or moment that has made your time on Redbubble particularly special or meaningful. That would be you, Gracey! I met Gracey over 10 years ago when we started out as pen-pals. That was back in the day when people actually sat down to write letters, lick stamps, and put the letters in the mailbox. With the advent of the internet, we progressed to email. Eventually there were face-to-face visits back and forth between Canada and the States. Lucky for us, our husbands hit it off, too. Gracey is an incredibly gifted and successful talent. Her work on Redbubble is incredible, especially when she wields the digital paint brush to create a digital painting Yet what makes her even more special is her big heart. Always willing to share new ideas and techniques, Gracey wants her friends to be successful, too. Show & tell: What three people on Redbubble have moved or inspired you? Oh, how I would like to mention all on “my watch list“, because each one is special and talented. It is difficult to narrow it down to just three but in choosing Elaine, Maria, and Susi, it does not in any way detract from the others. Elaine Farmer has a warm and sweet spirit that is evidenced by her lovely and imaginative images, such as the soft and delicate Baby Pink Her encouraging words through her comments are a bright spot in everyone‘s day, especially mine. Maria Dryfout has an exceptional creativity that is unmistakable as soon as you see her profile. Her work is not only ingenious, but absolutely beautiful. Her images will inspire you, comfort you, bring joy, make you laugh, and sometimes make a point Susi Lawson has an artistic energy that you don‘t want to miss. In her portrait work, my favorites are those of her little neighbor, Cassa In each one, you get a glimpse of Susi’s artistic soul and see in her work the gift for capturing the essence of her subject’s persona. I cannot write of photography inspiration without mentioning my husband, Monty. Even though he is not a member of Redbubble, he shows steadfast interest in my work here. A generous benefactor over the years, he has provided cameras, lens, accessories and upgrades along the way. More importantly, though, I am blessed by his love and constant encouragement. Our journey together has been a joyous one! What goals do you have for your work outside of Redbubble? My personal goal in photography remains unchanged and can be summed up in one word: improvement. I strive constantly to improve my work through better technique. In recent months I have discovered the exciting world of digital fine-tuning, an area where I want to develop a skill set. My newest goal is more sales in the coming year. I plan to aggressively promote my services and images through my own web site (currently in the design phase) and the Redbubble gallery. Next year I hope to be ready to set up a venue in the numerous fairs and festivals that are so popular in our area in the autumn. Any parting comments? Thank you, Gracey, for the honor of this interview! Edit: for the life of me, I can’t figure out why the text links don’t work in the last half of the journal…new one on me.

• This is for YOU! Take a Bow...

  Hello everyone, How time does fly when one is having fun! It is hard to believe that it has been five months since Gracey invited me to join RB. If you have taken the time over the past months to look at my portfolio and/or comment on my images, I want you to know that I truly appreciate it. It means so much to me. Even though I don’t respond back with individual comments and thank-yous, I hope each of you know how important your comments are. Have you heard the rumor that I serve cheese with my “whine” when discussing my slow dial-up connection? Sadly true! :D Soon after joining I quickly realized I would need to pick and choose what I would do with my time on RB. With the slow loading images (others and my own), it can be time-consuming depending on the dial-up speed on any given day. So I try to spend most of my limited time uploading my images and commenting on your work. RB is an amazing site for inspiration! Did you know that YOU have inspired me to work harder to improve my skills? This small-town girl didn’t even know that photography techniques such as fractals, infrared, and HDR even existed! I continue to be amazed by YOUR creativity! Do you hear the big round of applause? Take a bow! I am so fortunate to be a part of such a supportive community of artists! Have a blessed and safe week!

  I just came across an online photo editing web site that is FREE and easy to use. If you or anyone you know can’t quite yet afford an photo editing program, this is a good web site. Just sign up with a username and email and start editing your images immediately. I signed up and took it for a spin. In my opinion it is a good editor for a freebie. If you want to use any of the advanced options, it is $24.95 a year. But there is no requirement to purchase the advanced options. With the number of editing options that are completely free to the user, there is really no immediate need to buy the advanced options if you don‘t want to. Here is some marketing info from the site: Fix your photos (exposure, colors, sharpen, red-eye) / Use advanced controls to fine-tune your results / Crop, resize, rotate in real-time (great tool to straighten those horizons) / Tons of special effects, from artsy to fun / Astoundingly fast, right in your browser / Awesome fonts and top-quality type tool / Basketfuls of shapes from hand-picked designers / Works on Mac, Windows, and Linux / No download required, nothing to install / All this for free! Here’s the link if you want to try it out: www.picnik.com Be sure to pass this on to your friends if you know anyone who might need a good editing program that won’t cost anything! P.S. I don’t own any stock in the company. LOL! CLICK HERE FOR ALL TUTORIALS BY PATRICIA Links for more free editing websites are listed on Gracey’s blog, photographyblography.

  I’m going to add writing several times a week that are a result of my musings. Usually each one will be based on a quote I’ve seen or something that has happened during my day. My RB world is busy and I know that yours is, too. So the good news is that it will always be short and to the point. Not more than a few sentences. I merely want to share these thoughts with my friends here. If you take a moment to read my ponderings, I will be honored. Comments are welcome, but not an expectation. If your time is short, I would rather know that you are using your time to comment on the artwork of those on your watchlist! Blessings! / Patricia ~~

  calling loving fellow Red Bubble Friends Hi guys, we all know a lot of people have been suffering and children and such due to the poor life in Africa and Fires in Australia. But what of the other children, The animals. You know, they have been suffering too and need help as well. Here at Red Bubble there is one group that collects for this cause. Wildlife-Appeal Group of photographers and artists that are dedicating their work and their time to help raise money for the Wildlife Rescue and Protection Agency Now I for one don’t do too much donation, i am always fearful of it. BUT I have been doing it with this group and a few others. And I found it to not be fearful or hard to do. You still own the rights to your works of donation, and you still can sell your own works. What I did was send full file to the ones in charge and give them “duel rights”. My term meaning, they can sell my works on their site and keep all the money for the animals and I can sell that art on my site and keep what I sell. It is that easy. So don’t be afraid my friends, this kind of act will bring you such JOY and also RESPECT in the art world as an artist, a real artist. So if you are so moved, join the group and make a donation to the babies of the earth, put your art to GOOD USE. LINK:Wildlife Appeal Patricia Anne

  This tutorial was written for all of the Redbubble newbies. It is not always clear how to search for a specific group. If you use the regular search function, it will not bring up any groups, only people and artwork. So how do you search for specific groups? Here are some simple step-by-step instructions for newcomers to use as a guide. Click on Groups (top menu button, 2nd from last) Notice that a 2nd set of menu buttons appeared on the right side of the screen. Under the 2nd row of menu buttons, you will see a 2nd search box: Find Groups In the search box, type any applicable search word to find out if there is a group for that subject. For example, if you are looking for a covered bridge group, then type covered bridges and click the “Search” button. Happy Bubblin’!
