If you want to see the image Frank you just put

[img]

in front of the http part with no space, and then at the end of it

[/img]

On photobucket I believe it's the last link at the bottem of the picture, the IMG code, which will put those [img] tags on automatically for you, so all you have to do is copy and paste the code here in your post.

For those who want to look I have uploaded 3 projects into my gallery. The alpine cottage was the first fairly major one I did, I was conned into doing that by Sylvia as it was something she wanted to do but didn't have the time as she was always too busy doing birthday and christmas cards. I had previously been stitching tapestries and have several of those, most are fairly big and took about a year to finish each one. I suppose I have some reasons to :)

Hi Frank and welcome from Canada!

I had problems when I joined Photobucket and tried to post photos here. But I found I could post pictures from my Gallery here OK. I see you have set one up, so you could try that. Just follow the directions given earlier about how to post using the 'image' info.

They're all wonderful projects, but I love the 1920s ladies!

I have now put some of my tapestries into my gallery. As they are all framed the pics have some reflection on them.

Frank I tried to have a look at them but they don't seem to get any bigger when i click on them, which is a shame because they look lovely even this small but it would be great to see more detail -- do you have bigger versions of them?

This is one thing I do not know how to do, I will ask my Son who must know as he does it on his website. I have sent him this link so he will tell me if it can be done.

Done it! What I did was to save these for the web and then resized them too small.

Hey ho, one learns even at my old age.

Hi Frank - Welcome from me too. I have also just joined recently, but I've not got as far as you with the photos. I have taken some and am now going to try to read and follow the advice given to you about posting images. Keep up the good work by the way. :applesauce:
I can see no reasons - 'cause there are no reasons.

I have added a couple of Sylvia's projects to my gallery. She was very proud of her Crinoline Lady which was her first major project and took her a year to complete, and I was very proud of her. :D
