This is my husband Larry or Cullodenmist, doing a pose at our last trip to Montsalvat. / At least now he carries his own tripod…. ===================
This is one that I had to have. / This is Robert Mullner working on an image. / There are also a few other RB members around the area as well. / Are you one of them ??? / ( better viewed when enlarged ) ==========================
*These images where all taken during the RedBubble weekend at Sorrento on the Mornington Peninsula and Point Lonsdale in Victoria. Australia *
*So I look to my friends to add light to my soul / to take charge of my bottomless pit / To strengthen my bond to the ones that I love / and…
I have been inspired to write something because of the friendships I have made on RedBubble. / So this is me and how I feel.
The love of a woman for her partner will shine / for the rest of the world to see.
This is just a small Valentine that I was inspired to write for all of the women on RB, that have showed me support, and given such wonderful comments over the past 12 months. / I thank you…

This is for those of you who are overseas and away from Australia. / I have just been inspired to write this after having a comment left by Owlspook. / Please note that this is factual and is happening now. / . / Take some time out to think about the animals. / . / I cannot begin to tell you how much has been going on over here. / Here is just one example that was on TV last night…… / As the police were checking burnt out properties, they came across a ginger tabby cat. / Its face was burned away; one of its eyeballs had exploded in the heat, and its fur and feet / were burned away as well. / But they took it to the Vet, hoping that something could be done. / The surgeon’s took a photo of it and posted it on the notice board in the blackened town, as they had been doing with all the domestic animals. / The owners had been looking through the burned out countryside for a week for there beautiful cat. / They went and checked to see if it was at the veterinary clinic. / And yes it was. The only thing that was to make the cat recognisable was the fact that it was still wearing its green collar with its bell. / The cat is now returning from the dead with love and devotion. / But what about the thousands of Kangaroos, still wandering the countryside with no face or no legs that are left unattended to starve in the black ash. / Or the Wombats, that are now nothing but walking charcoal. / The list and stories go on and on. / The little glider’s that have no trees. / The Koala’s with no feet and claws, let alone water and gum leaves to survive on. / Then there are the horses and goats and sheep and dogs and…and…and…and… / We need to let us humans get on with rebuilding our lives and towns with the help of donations and assistance from the gov’t, and think more about the animals that don’t have anything other that us….. / So please give something to the Animal Funds in the hope that all of our wonderful rare Australian Wildlife will not become extinct. / North Eastern Victoria is gone. / North Western Victoria is partially gone. / Wilsons Promontory is gone. / Towns like Kinglake, Marysville and others are gone. / And there are dead and dying animals everywhere…. / wildlifeappeal@hotmail.com
We rope them off. / We take away there habitat. / We eat them. / We make slaves of them.. / We use them for experimentation. / We abuse them.
This is how I feel at the moment. / And somethings must be said.

Here’s a chance to get your own work promoted a little. / All you have to do is find one piece of work where: You posted the first comment; and It has 3 or less comments when you post here. Upon posting of said image here, I will then delve into your folio and display my three favourite pieces of yours. (p.s. I won’t link any nsfw (safety filtered) works) Show one, get three shown free, how easy is that? I’ll get the ball rolling
This image was Annibels…..Click here.... out on the rocks at Point Lonsdale here in Port Phillip Bay, Victoria Australia, just after sunrise on Saturday July 11 at about 7 ;15am. / It was windy, but it was worth meeting all the other Bubblers who turned up ( approx 12 ).. / Thanks for a great morning shoot….... / . / Taken with a P & S Panasonic Lumix FZ30. ==============

Here are instructions for the T-Shirt. **Update / You need a transparent background – use these programs to make the transparent background. / _________ / You can use any graphics software that supports PNG files. We recommend Adobe Photoshop (which costs a bit of cash) or http://www.gimp.org/ / (which is free!) Other popular graphics programs which support the PNG format include Photoshop Elements, Adobe Illustrator, Corel Photo-Paint, Inkscape (another free one), Paint Shop Pro, Pixel image editor, Paint.NET and Xara. / _________ / I USE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENT 7 (aka-PSE-7) To make the transparent background. 1- open the image you want to make transparent. 2- by default, Elements creates a single layer for an image called Background layer. In layers palette, double-click the background layer, and change its name in the Name field to something like “Regular Layer”, then click OK. 3-Using any combination of selection tools (I used the QUICK SELECTION tool) you choose, select the part of the image that you want to be transparent. 4-Choose Edit-Delete to remove those selected parts of the image. A checkered-board pattern fills those areas, indicating they’re now transparent. 5-Choose File-Save for Web to open the Save for Web dialog. 6-Select any one of the GIF formats from the preset drop-down menu. 7-If it’s not already selected, click to select the Transparency check box. / The image in the optimized preview area will be displayed against a transparency grid pattern. There are other steps after this, but they are about putting in a color to replace what you removed. You don’t want that for your transparent background. NOW get the RB template and load you picture. / _________ 1-Go to your T-shirt section and download the RB’ template on your computer. 2-Open the template and CTRL + ALT + DEL to delete all the text on the template. 3-File and import your picture and place it on the template. Remember not to put it too high as otherwise the picture will be stuck on top of the tee. 4-Save as PNG (it should already be a PNG file). (I make mine a PNG before I start and also I make the size 2400×3200 for the template requirements) 5-Upload it on RB and you’re all set. You can click on “file” and choose “import” your image on the template. The template has the right size, but your iimage can be adjusted to the size you want. Bear in mind that it’s only vertical. / _________ / I use photoshop to put my picture in the template. / I use edit image size in photoshop and set it at the 2400×3200px, then save as PNG. / I then pull up the template, make sure it is clear and then bring up my picture. I copy and paste it to template. Sometimes you will need to use the size tool and squeeze the picture to fit in the template. Once there, size it to template space. / Save and your done, make sure it is a PNG
This is RB member William Bullimore and his mate I met at Uluru sunset,please check out his oustanding portfolio.
I had to snap this, as it is such a contrast. / I took this whilst walking through my friends garden at Woodend in Victoria. / The silver is Eleanor, a very dear friend. / And the gold is my wife Dawn. ( spinwych @ RB ) / Both women are in there 50’s, and there hair colours are natural…. taken with a p & s Panasonic Lumix FZ30. ============

HI! / Many of you will be aware there has been somewhat of an upheaval across this website these past weeks regarding in general – the rules and policies re expected behaviour and how they have been enforced. In response to this, RB admin and management are working really hard to put together as clear a statement re what is, and what is not acceptable behaviour, and what the resultant penalty for ‘overstepping’ any particular mark should be. Excellent!!! They now have an (apparently draft) document on this that is beginning it’s process of ‘solicited feedback’, firstly by having been assessed by RB staff, currently it is available to group hosts to view and comment on, and sometime (soon, I expect) it should be made available to the general RB membership to add their feedback. This is all a very fine, extremely difficult and confusing (due to the already extremely varied viewpoints expressed) and SLOW process. I have read the proposed new rules and guidelines pdf document I believe now 7 times, making notes as I go. On the whole, there are a few rather minor issues that I believe MAY be queried re how they are to be defined and enforced, but overall, everything is extremely clear and well set out. The earlier ‘rules and policies’ (when I finally found them) I ALSO thought were quite clear, well set out and defined. The one major difference between these 2 documents is that the new one allows for a ‘review process’ for those who wish to activate it, whereas there was no recourse to review before. / This is, in principle, a truly EXCELLENT addition to the rules and guidelines. So far – all fine and good and excellent??? Yes??? With, in my honest and truly thought through opinion, ONE EXTREMELY SERIOUS OMISSION WHICH IS BEING TOTALLY IGNORED AS EVERYONE (well – only hosts so far) RUSH TO AIR THEIR OPINIONS AND ARGUE OVER THE FINE PRINT IN THE NEW GUIDELINES – AS WELL AS ISSUES NOT IN THE NEW GUIDELINES AT ALL (LOL)....... The primary reason there was a great upheaval and huge anger and disillusionment throughout the RB community was NOT the ‘enforcement of any rule or guideline per se’. The primary reason for the huge upheavals and the extremely upsetting and destructive arguing in the forums over the past weeks was the PERCEPTION OF UNFAIR AND INCONSISTENT APPLICATION OF RULES AND GUIDELINES. RB management HAS ADMITTED that, since it’s not well advertised assumption of altered rules in February, it’s application of those rules HAS NOT BEEN CONSISTENT OR FAIR. Nowhere in this new document, or in any of the information provided to, or solicited (from so far only staff and hosts) does Red Bubble management provide ANY information at all on how they intend to implement not just this new rules and policy document (in whatever slightly edited form it may finally see the light of day), but also on how they intend to firstly make sure that these new guidelines and rules are implemented CONSISTENTLY AND FAIRLY, and, how they are going to be made to BE SEEN TO BE IMPLEMENTED CONSISTENTLY AND FAIRLY. If the previous rules were unable to be administered consistently and fairly – what reason does anyone at this point in time have to consider that the implementation of ANY format of ANY rules and guidelines will in future be able to be more fair and consistent than to this point in time? In my honest opinion – an EXTREMELY BIG HOLE in RB management’s response to the recent upheavals. I would hope this could be addressed well BEFORE any potential new rules and guidelines need be submitted to ANY feedback at all….. I welcome any and all opinions here on this – my statement of my opinion. However, I will not reply to any comments left here until, at the earliest – sometime tomorrow. / I am, at the moment, extremely tired. I have spent by far the greater proportion of the past weeks on RB policy and procedure issues, with virtually NO time to myself and / or my artwork. For the sake of my sanity, I am now, on posting this journal, going to turn my internet off, and concentrate for a bit on what I should be spending most of my time doing – my photography (as well as resting lol). / I resolve truly to not delete any comments here that may disagree with what I have written – I am interested in fair and open expression for all. / Cheers - / Kallena xx

Inspired art for my favorite song by the brilliant Platters’. ‘Twilight Time’ / Heavenly shades of night are falling, it’s Twilight Time / Out of the mist your voice is calling, “Tis Twilight Time” / When purple colored curtains mark the end of day / I’ll hear you, my dear, at Twilight Time. Deepening shadows gather splendor as day is done / Fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun / I count the moments, darling, til you’re here with me / Together, at last, at Twilight Time. Here in the afterglow of day / We keep our rendezvous beneath the blue / Here in the sweet and same old way / I fall in love again as I did then. Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old / Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold / Each day I pray for evening just to be with you / Together, at last, at Twilight Time ♥♥♥ / Created at 2am in approx 10mins. Using Photo-shop, brushes & several actions I created. I had this image in my head and am pleased it turned out the way I saw it, the window is actually a photograph from my daughters room, the chapel in the background is from 2 images layered together taken from a beautiful Roman Catholic Church in Sydney.
