Question for the "I'll Show You Mine, If You Show Me Yours" Crowd
I've mentioned before that I make jewelry. One of my product lines are miniature paintings not much larger than a quarter that I make into pendants which eventually become the focals for necklaces. My subjects are mostly animals and flowers.
After seeing the many gorgeous photos posted in the daily "I'll Show You Mine..." threads, I was wondering if the photographers would be willing to give me permission to use their photos for my paintings. I'm not quite sure how to go about it though.
It's not my intention to put anyone on the spot publicly, but I'm not sure of the etiquette of private messaging here or if it's even possible to send private messages. I suppose if people are comfortable with it, they could say 'yes' or 'no' here on this post. If they'd rather keep it private, I understand that too. Or, there is always the option of ignoring this message. If any of you have suggestions on a better way, please feel free to post it.
So that the photographers can see what type of work I do, I have posted a few examples below to help you decide how you feel about your pictures being used as a source of material for my paintings:
I thank you all for considering my request and apologize if I have overstepped my bounds. I've been thinking about this lately and it was the bird photos this morning that pushed me over the edge!

Comments (11)I think it has been illegal in Great Britain since 2005, where historically the purpose and goal was to catch and kill the fox. It is not illegal in the United States, where it is about the chase. As soon as the fox goes to ground, the hounds are called off and cast out again to try to find another scent. On the Thanksgiving hunt, perhaps because it was warm and dry (which make the scent hard to follow) they didn't scent or see a fox the entire time they were hunting. But even when they don't see a fox, they are still riding through land like this:so it is still a pretty good time....See MoreI'll Show You Mine if You Show Me Yours Tues Dec 29
Comments (12)Not my picture, but taken by local newspaper in Gadsden. I grew up going to the falls as a kid. Crowds of onlookers gathered to take pictures and shoot videos of Gadsden's Noccalula Falls this morning, swelled by heavy rains and shooting steam into the air. They received 20 inches of rainfall over a 24 hour period during Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, according to the county's Emergency Management Agency...See MoreI'll Show You Mine if You Show Me Yours Thurs June 22
