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.

Love your green totem, really nice shape to it too! If you are using Photobucket, you can just click/check each picture you want on the page, go all the way to the bottom of that page and click on the box at the bottom right side that says "generate IMG and HTML code". It takes you to the next page where you can right click on the first box and select "copy", now go to your post and right click and select "paste". Your pictures will all show up when you hit "preview message" This way you can post one or the whole page of pictures all at once without having to go back and forth. Give it a try.

I bet that will be a sparkler out in the garden! Love the cherub on top with his "mushroom." Great innovative idea for odd pieces like that. Wonderful job! I can't wait to see your next totem (because I know it's coming ... lol).

My first totem - Glass Garden Girl
Q

Adorable!! Love the colors for her!! My Garden Ladies have so far been clear. You definitely will need something flat and large on the bottom to keep her from being tipped over. I mostly use microwave trays that I pick up at GW. They can be covered with mulch or dirt. Here are a couple of my Garden Ladies that I've covered the bottom plates on. Seal well with silicone, so they don't sweat. Ladies don't like to sweat! LOL Mine are a couple of years old and holding up well. I do take them in for our winters here in Ohio. They're a lot taller than they look here! LOL Poor angle...and a tall planter! Poor lighting too...you hardly even notice the little one in the top part of the planter! ~Sandy~

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.
