other's inspiration photos

16 years ago

Hey Everyone, I was thinking about setting up an Inspiration Album on my Photobucket. I did one for my forum buddies on Holiday Decor. Using things they'd done as well as photos from off the web. The years I've been a member here, I've saved pix myself of things I really liked.

But you know how posts drop off, photos go away, and new members come on often. So I'd like to do an album that could be accessed anytime any of the GJer gang wanted to browse thru stuff. However, a lot of the pictures I saved, I didn't note WHO made this stuff so can't add a name unless you tell me its yours. Plus I don't want to make anyone mad using a photo of theirs without permission. So for future pictures, do I have permission to use yours? If you'd rather I didn't, just let me know and I won't. And on my old pix, if you see one of yours in the album, tell me and I can remove it then. Also, if I don't use a photo of someone's, I sure don't want hurt feelings. I can't save them ALL unfortunately, so in the past I just picked favorites tho there were MANY more I liked a lot.

I'll set up an album if you guys would like me to do this.

Karen

I think that is a great idea! I have some of my favorites saved in my "clippings" here. But it sure would be great to see some awesome stuff all in one place! I say go for it!

That sounds like a great idea to me too. I would love to have a one stop inspirational page to visit.

I also would not have a problem seeing my own photos there.

Great idea Karen.

I know this isn't garden junk, but I've been making jewelry from silverware. Maybe you could try that. Over on Crafts and Decorations I have some spoon pendants and beaded bracelets posted. I even made some lapel pins from silverware. I plan on using my grandchildrens photos in one, and you might be able to make a pendant with your mother's photo( a copy of course :) ) and some of her little things inside it. I used my grandmother's tatting in ones for myself,and pieces of old crochet and tatting I found at yard sales for ones I'm selling. You could put in small pieces of her old jewelry,or just anything that reminds you of her. I hope this helps with some of the silverware. Here is a link that might be useful: spoon jewelry

Hi Carol, I use Picasa, but the procedure is probably the same. There are couple of different ways; the easiest for me is to go to the host site (Picasa, Photobucket, etc...) and RIGHT click on the image that I want to upload. Choose "copy image location" or something equivalent, and then right click again to either load the picture in the message or in the link box. If you want to put the picture in the message box, you must paste the link between the quotes in the following sequence: ..... This will allow you to view the picture without having to click on the link, and will also allow those of us that have a filter on our internet browser to view the pic at work. Uh, I mean, I would NEVER try to check out the forum while I'm at work between the hours of 8:30 and 5 pm.......HA! Hope this helps! Tanya

Judith - thanks for the site for the china "animals". I didn't realize that they were manufactured by the china company as well. Unfortunately, those pieces were just as expensive if not more expensive than the Herend china pattern place settings. I was surprised, expected them to be a bit pricey, I was definitely low balling what I thought they would be priced at. Most were about $1,000 or more and sizes are about 4-6 inches. Not affordable for me, but inspired me to look for a similar look. On the hunt once again... Also, I am admiring your Lenox pattern above. Just happened to see it in Macy's this afternoon while I was over at the mall. It is very pretty and perfect for the garden look you wanted. I once did a ivy with butterflies from AC Moore as a center runner down my d/r table for a shower for my SIL. It really looked nice. We didn't use china, but the papergoods were a lilac background with butterflies on them. Despite not being china, they were good quality and looked nice tied in with the table decoration. It is amazing how a look can come together very inexpensively. The butterflies cost me next to nothing, and I already had the ivy. In fact, the ivy were 12 candle "rings" that I tied together with those ties that come with the trash bags (I save the green ones, LOL). Just placed them down the center of the table and intersperced the butterflies in different colors and used several candle sticks. It took some creative thinking, little money and got lots of compliments on the tablescape. I am in search of some salad plates and there were alot of patterns that would compliment my wedding china pattern. There are several "spring" colors in that set and I don't think I will have a problem with finding the color, I just am trying to find a bargain. LOL

LOL, OA..loved your last sentence. I think you nailed it. All those photos are not just 'inspiration', there's a lot of learning there too I guess. I've got so much on Too Long To Do list now to try and do or make. I probably should post an occasional reminder, but I feel sort of like it might sound as if I'm pushing for attention with the albums. I hope most of you keep the main Holiday link to them bookmarked, so its easy for you to get to them, and reminds you they are there. Frou, generally its easy to move photos, tho it does break any links to pictures already posted. There is a 'move' link on each picture, and you direct it to which album you want it sent to. You can't move a whole album tho, which is why the Tablescape one stays in wrong place on my home page. I'm too lazy to start over with it and move all the photos to new albums in our Holiday section. hugs, Karen

Hi Karen, You're welcome to use any project photos in my album. Are you saving the pics on your computer, then posting them, or just moving them within the site? Linda

I save photos in my personal filing cabinet, then put them in albums when I need to clean out my computer. LOL. I love pictures and save too many, of too many things. I started the album for my Holiday pals a year ago, and think its up around 11 or 12 pages now. I don't delete anything but add frequently. I'll do same with an album for GJ.
Should have a link for you tomorrow or Sunday. I'm going to go thru some old posts meanwhile and see what pix I can grab since I've not saved much lately. Been lazy I guess.
So if your photos are "off limits", better tell me soon.
LOL

hugs, Karen

Great idea, Karen!

I wouldn't post anything I didn't want used by someone else. It's my understanding that if we post a picture that isn't copyrighted, anyone can use it. How nice of you ask!

I started saving some pictures to my own file a few years back for my own use. I didn't put the name of the poster on some of them back then, and now I'm sorry I didn't.

Hi Karen... you can use anything you want from my pics, too! I've also saved tons of pics in a personal file on my pc but I put the name of who posted it and sometimes I even put the date from the thread it came from - when I wasn't crunched for time, that is.
Sounds like it will be a fun album to peruse!

This is a little off the subject but I wonder what everyone else thinks.
My garden album has photos off the web & I try to caption them as such. It's sort of my idea album too.
I recently received info from an upcoming big quilt show & it states that we are not to publish pictures of entries on public websites, ie, webshots, photo bucket etc.
What do you all think?
I love to save other peoples pictures to enjoy & I think if they are on the web we should be able to copy them.
I guess there's a fine line. Jill

easy stitches...I think if it is a quilting show, they kinda have the rights to the pics for their use...in future brochures, magazine articles and maybe books.

I title a word doc and put a copy of pics on for my own use. I do not save pics to my actual jpgs. If I post a pic here, I do not care how it is used...just my stuff. If I use someone elses photo I say who it belong to or where I got it. Often I get some by email that I have no clue who took the original pic.

Jill, I know I've saved photos to my personal files that I shouldn't have "borrowed". But I make sure not to share these with anyone else and just have them for my personal pleasure. You can also make albums private (which most of my Kodak ones are). My Photobucket stuff however is all public. I am working on an Inspiration Album now for my Garden Junk forum, but I've told folks if they see one of their photos in there and don't want it in the album, to let me know and I'll remove it. In the beginning I was bad about saving things without note to myself on WHO or WHAT the pix originated from. I want to give credit where due on the two Inspiration albums tho.

hugs, Karen

Purplemoon ... When I post pics, I figure it's great if anyone wants to copy them...and when I post graphics, they are usually ones that I've purchased in a book or something that's been ok'd to use...i.e., b'day cards, etc. I would love to visit your Inspirational Album...I also save in a Word Doc things I want to remember and re-visit. Go for it! Jeanne S.
