Selkie Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Ya -'bout that desperation thing ..... a little help here please ... Yikes - will RL ever stop interfering with my plans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Too late for stitches, but I did get the shot. Then I spent all afternoon pampering the __________. The Rosedale got a wee bit of prime, but she's going to have to take a back seat while I finish up the spring fling. I think it's safe to say that I painted THE CEILING today. That didn't give anything away, did it? Hahaha! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgansmith Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 My fling is being so sweet and kind. No real dramas to deal with....everything going fast......wait till tomorrow, huh? Nah! I'm having fun. This is the first time my build has changed over and over but stayed the same. It's what I started with but different. It's telling another story now too. I'm hoping for my original more elaborate idea next year So......my question is this. Has anyone ever carried an idea or build over from one fling to another?

Jo Med Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Me too. I'll just be on my way back from North Cyprus on 31st, so something good to soften the blow of returning to cold wet wintry weather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkie Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Me too. I'll just be on my way back from North Cyprus on 31st, so something good to soften the blow of returning to cold wet wintry weather. Hope you have a wonderful trip. But don't forget the albums won't be up until the judging is over :popcorn: and, from past experience, that takes a lo-o-o-o-o-ong time !!! :whistle: It might even be Christmas before we find out !! :xmas_tree: But I sure hope not. Hope Dean has his judging team all primed and ready to go so we have results in a 2 weeks max - anyone else have bets on how long it will take this year? Bagged a major center focal piece from ebay today.... Whohooo and yay, happy dance with a much needed twirl! Hugs Congrats - that's always exciting. Hope it speeds it's way to you in time.

jrchob Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Hope you have a wonderful trip. But don't forget the albums won't be up until the judging is over :popcorn: Weren't the albums posted after the deadline for submission last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Once your pictures are submitted isn't it OK to start making your personal albums public? The winners' album is what goes up when the judging's done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Weren't the albums posted after the deadline for submission last year? Holly's right. Once the deadline has passed, individuals can post their albums and many do. It's the winners that aren't posted for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 True, true, true - individuals can post whatever and whenever they want - before even if they choose to. However, not only the winners are posted. Everyone's 3 photo entries are posted by Dean in a GL SF album and that includes folks who aren't members here. For me, that is how I find everyone's pics because when people are just posting in their own albums, since I don't know who entered except for a few folks that I follow, I don't know where to go look. I missed tons of them last year until the winners were announced and the complete GL album by Dean was posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 IMHO all the entries in the Spring Fling contest are winners! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Drying time is the pits!!! But then again, using the fire extimguisher as a heav item while assembling the base worked like a charm ;) now to make another part for the base and then finally it is time for the clay... Darn it, more drying time then..... :wub: Hugs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Blow dryer, Anna. Not sure the materials would approve... Cracking as well as warping might occur, maybe...... One piece is dry, still needs some bits and bobs and a second spray paint session, but all in all it is there. If I had a drying cabinet, now that might have worked wonders!!!

Jane S Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Not sure if I should PM the head cheeses or not, maybe you folks can tell me? What is the largest file or px size when submitting the photos? What is the earliest that you can submit photos? Do you folks get a received reply when you submit your shots? Thanks for informing the "newb" ....Now I can go freak out about the finishing touches ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhggggg!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I believe the suggested size is about 600 x 800; I wouldn't overwhelm them with photos in the thousands of pixels range and anything smaller is going to make it hard to see the details. And you want them to be able to see the details. You can send the photos whenever they're ready Yes, you'll get a notice when you submit. If it's getting near the deadline, be prepared to wait a day or more. It gets BUSY in the Greenleaf plant! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I set up 2 rooms today to get a visual of what is wrong. I just don't "see" things properly sometimes until I take a picture. I still have 2 custom walls, 2 giant windows, 1 floor, a bunch of glass and railings, and a roof to figure out. Course then all the finishing details and then the decorating. That was some of what I tried out today. Just to see if it was even going to start to work. Most of the accessories I tried today were ok. I also have been busy sewing up things. Bled on one item today so it makes it mine now I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momof2Moos Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Jane, I am so jealous of your picture taking! RL has come crashing into me lately and for a good chunk of time there, I wasn't sure if I was going to finish in time. But after two days of ignoring my life (but still keeping my kids alive) I am nearly there. A lot of little pesky things are left.... like the roof. And cleaning up the edges of the base. I suppose, I could be finished this week, since all that is left after that are the details. We all know that it's the details that make a piece soar though. Chugga, chugga. Then I have to figure out how to move the beast outside for pictures.... *thud* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
