I have no idea why my pics come out sideways!! Grrr, I rotate it in paintshop, save it, upload it to photobucket (where it shows up sideways),,I even rotate it in photobucket, but soon as I post it it's sideways, go figure!
Is there a better photo hosting site out there?

I'm not sure why your rotating doesn't work, but your totem is great. I didn't even notice if the top is crooked. And your yard is wonderful, you should post more pix for us.

My very first garden totems

Thank you Purplemoon, Luckygal, andluna llena feliz, the brim on her hat is actually a clear glass salad plate, but I liked the design on it and you couldn't see it very well, so I painted the actually top of the plate with red enamel, I didn't even SEE the hat brim until I set it on top of that vase, then the wheels started to turn! FAST! LOL We had a frost last night and one of the first things my hubby did was be sure my totems were secured in the garage! What a guy! A warning to you all, I have two more on the workbench drying right now! will be outside soon and pics to follow!

Good work!The blue totem is awesome. Isn't this the best site ever? I haven't been here very long either,and you are already better at the pics than me. Your right it is addicting, in one month I've made 14 totems, 3 bottle bugs, and a plate flower and my lunches are consumed with searching thrift stores. Look foward to more pics. Syble

Looks beautiful! Can't believe it's your first one! And I love the setting behind it as well...except, is that a snake on the ground behind it? Perhaps a plastic one?

Great job!

Did you click "Save a copy" after you rotated it in "edit"? Sometimes I forget! And this way we can't tell "it's a little crooked"...looks wonderful...I'm especially loving the trio of green glass & then another added in-between. Good work! TFS! Jeanne S.

Here it is (beautiful, too!)

That turned out lovely! You should be proud of it.
I was going to ask same thing as Jeanne did, did you hit save after you rotated it? I've never had a problem with Photobucket and used it for years.
Sometimes when I rotate one there, in my album it still looks sideways till the NEXT time I open it. But its been rotated fine. I actually hit "replace original" instead of "save a copy", not that it matters.

So, are you planning your next totem? The darn things are like potato chips. LOL.
hugs, Karen
