Mini Man Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 If you are interested in participating in the White Orchid Blog, please use THIS LINK to send me a PM. I will not be reading these, they are only to setup the blog. Please only send one PM. To participate, all you need is the house and a story to tell about it! Thanks!

havanaholly Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Since I'm on the Building Team I'll tell my story in a Gallery album so more of the members who have this lovely house can tell thier story in the blog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wenlaine Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I'm not a member of the Building Team but I will do the same as Holly. It's going to be awhile before I'm able to start so I'll just do the Gallery Album too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doogster Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 (edited) be sure to check out Andrew's posts on the techie stuff, I got some of the solvent-type adhesive stuff to use on it, so I'll be building it mostly on the back porch. Why? I use methylene chloride all the time indoors. Unless you don't like the smell. The fumes are less toxic that CA (superglue) by a long margin. What do you think professional pattern makers use?

Deb Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I can do the same. Me too. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I can post on my own weblog (http://kleinspul.punt.nl) so there is more room for the other White Orchid builders. I do have a story to tell, but it is probably going to be a long one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Don't y'all drop out of a group blog, Wendy & Peggi; I was'nt being all that altruistic: we might want to limit the numbers of entries each member can make. I'm just so terribly long-winded & tend to spend a lot of blog space & entries with how-tos (& how-NOT-tos)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Maybe instead of a community blog, there could be a pinned post that has clickable links to the various individual albums or blogs? I think the idea for the blog was so we could see and compare the original White Orchids, but now that there are so many of us doing them, I can see how a blog would get unmanagable in a hurry. I, for one, would like to be able to go to one place as a jumping off for looking at everyone's effort. It doesn't have to be a community blog. Just a thought ...

Ms. Mini Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I'm still so excited to do a community blog! i think its going to be a great way to show off all that we are going to create! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Man Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I was thinking the same thing Kathie. Maybe a better approach would be a special gallery. Then everyone could just make an album in that directory. It would be more visual which might might be better to showcase every one's work.

I like that idea ... each entry would have a single photo showing, and to see more, just click in. I knew you'd work it out, Dean. <grinning big> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missymew Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I love the idea of a special gallery. I've ordered one of the White Orchids and it would be such fun to see what everyone does with their kit. Thanks Dean!! -Susanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mini Man Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Sorry for the delay everyone! I've created a new category of our Gallery called "Community Built Houses" and in that category there is an area for the White Orchid. Everyone should be able to create an album in this area. How you decide to approach your album is up to you, but please stayed focus on this particular house. I look forward to seeing what everyone does with this house. Hopefully, this format will prove to be interesting to our members which might lead to other projects down the road. Let's keep using this topic for discussion/questions on this project! Thanks!
