Yes you! I know for sure there are a few artists on here (painting, photography, graphic arts...).

Would you like to share a picture with us?

I'll upload one to get the ball rolling but I hope to see your stuff too

Here's a silver ring I made (today...sorry for my facebook buddies this is a repeat

) featuring an emerald gem:

I LOVE emeralds. It's a beauty Weena.

Weena · 06-03-2011, 07:36 AM

Thank you Luci! It's your moon sign stone

How about you upload one of your paintings? I think I read you paint or used to anyway?

Oh sorry, I'm at work and the pic is blocked here. Can't see it

. But I'm sure it's mind blowing.

elucidate · 06-03-2011, 07:38 AM

I'll see what I can do.

Or Eluci can post one of her own pics which I consider as fine art

elucidate · 06-03-2011, 07:44 AM

Damn. The ones I want to show, it's saying they are too big on image shack to upload...what do I do?

open MS paint if you are using windows. Reduce the image size

Yes, I am. I'll do that, thanks. And thanks for saying about my pics as well. Maybe I'll post one you guys haven't seen yet?

Weena · 06-03-2011, 07:52 AM

I always reduce my images with paint as well for quicker uploads. Looking forward to your painting

HighPriest: thank you, I hope the image will come up for you soon...

elucidate · 06-03-2011, 07:58 AM

Ok, I'm gonna confess, I don't know what tha hell to do? It will only let me skew or stretch it, and I haven't done a good job of that even. Can someone direct me?

Weena · 06-03-2011, 08:03 AM

Yes give me a sec and I'll open my program to give you a step by step...

elucidate · 06-03-2011, 08:05 AM

Awesome, thanks.

Weena · 06-03-2011, 08:06 AM

Our programs must be slightly different. In your skew and stretch, do the same numbers for both until the photo is at your desired size, then save it or "save as" if you want to keep the original (I recommend this in case you want to print the original). Does it help at all?

Weena · 06-03-2011, 08:07 AM

Oh and when I make them smaller I go by 50% at a time until I reach what I want...

Ok, that's a good tip. I wasn't sure where to start so I started at 20%...but that was way too small. This might take a while.

Weena · 06-03-2011, 08:28 AM

I guess it depends on the original size

don't worry, once you've got the trick it'll take you not even one minute to re-size them!

KaleidoskopicVision · 06-03-2011, 08:29 AM

Sometimes I paint things. Only pic I could find on my computer currently.

It keeps saying there "isn't enough memory or resources to continue" when I change the dimensions to 50% on skew, and I've shut down all other programs going?

Weena · 06-03-2011, 08:30 AM

You know this already, but I'm a fan of your stuff KV

If I ever astral travel, this is kind of what I expect to see...

elucidate · 06-03-2011, 08:33 AM

Yeah, I love your work man...so cosmic.

You'll probably just see your room first

Any of you other creative types have the hardest time ever motivating yourself to work to completion on projects or is that just me?

Open MS Paint > Open your image > Go to Images at the tool Bar > stretch/skew > reduce the height and width to 50%

Yeah...I did all that. As I said...it keeps telling me there aren't enough resources (whatever that means) or memory?

KaleidoskopicVision · 06-03-2011, 08:37 AM

And Weena your jewelry is beautiful. I especially like the new direction it seems to be taking, with the little furled tendrils of metal encasing the stone.

Well, my room is artistic enough. Not really. Very bare but I have lots of crystals in a corner (nature's art!). For the motivation, honestly if I did not have to run a household I'd be creating all day uninterrupted. the motivation is definitely there and I take any chance I get to get to work

Phil says it sounds like your hard drive is too full and your program needs the space, even if temporarily, to resize the image. Perhaps if you move a couple of things to a memory stick to free up some space?

Ah, see we agree again. My personal favourites are the caged ones as well, especially after I apply a patina

Ok, I'll try that, though I don't own a memory stick right now. Maybe I can ask my housemate if I can use hers temporarily?
