Yesterday I changed form Internet Explorer to Fire Fox, and I noticed right
away that my blogposts didn’t look the way they were supposed to look…
Of course I was aware of the problems with layouts that stagger on
different browsers (*sigh* each web designer knows this) but I’m not the
“expert in da house” and when it came to problems like that in the past,
I usually yelled “Help!” and than the expert came running and helped me
out every time.
But now that I notice my OWN blogposts go jump up and down, and shows
text on places I don’t want to have it – I’m afraid I will have to give in
to something I kept away for such a long time…
I will have to learn more html-code myself!
As if I have nothing else on my mind right now…
But I will learn it. I promise. The expert will teach me. My private teacher.
And I will practise. I will. I promise.
I want to learn at least enough code to give my blogposts the look I want it
to have on EVERY computer. Until then, no text next to the pics anymore.
Sorry for those who were used to that, and hooray for those who used Fire Fox
all along and always looked at the strangest things on my blog – and puzzled
over which words belonged to which photo.
Having that said, let’s move on to something more fun, shall we?
INSPIRATION!!!! Where do you get it from?
For me, inspirations is everywhere – love your blog title Michelle 😉 –
and I want to show you a bit of inspiration I found last week…
I knew this artist and architect from my art history classes long ago, and I
recognized the style when I saw this picture in a magazine right away
(and all kinds of facts came to mind… good to know my brain still works
and I haven’t forgotten ALL I learned back then!)
This is The Hundertwasser house in Plochingen
But this time my eye was drawn to a detail… look at that mosaic!
Now THAT’S inspirational! And yep… I used it!
This is a detail of the page I’m working on right now for “One Year in the Life
of an Art Journal”. I will finish the page this weekend and publish it next week.
I made two Music ATC’s too this week.
The songs I made these for are not particular “faves” of mine –
I had the images first and found these texts/songs to go with it.
“Lovers in Japan” – Coldplay
I had already glued a “paper” on the back to fill out my info.
After I did the stitching I thought it looked nice so I let it stay this way.
“A Woman’s Worth” – Alicia Keys
And that’s it for ME being creative…
The “students” at my workshop were creative too and with so many
talented ladies in one group it’s very inspirational and a lot of fun!!
If you want to see work they made using prompts from my workshop,
go to my website and take a look at the public gallery.
Work from students will be exposed as we go, so the gallery will
slowly become filled with lovely art. Check it out regularly!
And there’s a lady in my group who just wrote her 100st post on
her blog… there’s a give-a-way too, so if you’re in for something
GOOD go say HI to Mirjam!
And now I’m on my way to do the weekend grocery shopping…
Have a happy weekend and see ya all soon.
