I love seeing work in progress Maria, your cats look great can I ask
how did you get the photo of your bunny rabbit and the wording in the blue box , like Max has also done, I can just about manage a straight forward photo insert

I just copied and pasted the link to the listing. How do you insert just a picture?

Ahh, I have got it, all this time I didn’t realise you can just use the link uploader single rectangular box,
I have been doing the uploading with the more button at the bottom of the rectangular box , which then gives me two rectangular boxes for link info,
for the pic only you have the two boxes, put image url in the first and then the page link for the item, which I am greatful to @fionaT for explaining on the images thread so well.
useful to use both methods I think, sometimes the pic alone has greater impact, sometimes the wording is really important

Hi All!
I’ve decided I need a big clear out of my growing pile of ACEOs so they are all buy one get one free for a few days!
Went to brilliant watercolour demo at the local art society last night and now really feel the urge to do some big landscape paintings, just got to get some of the colours he was using to experiment with!

good luck with your ACEO sale Clare. It’s strange that you don’t have a link to your shop against your name as the others do? Have you tried logging right out then back in again?
I’m assuming that if anyone takes advantage of your offer they’re refunded via paypal?

Here’s that rose I was struggling with at the weekend, it’s from Anna Mason’s book and it’s an exercise in getting tones right. I gave up following the instructions before long and just tried to get it to look reasonable as best I could!lol

I’d not noticed I hadn’t got a link against my name so thank you Margaret!
Yes I will refund via Paypal for the second ACEO bought in my sale, could really do with making a bit of space for all the new ideas buzzing round my brain!
Your rose is beautiful Margaret, they are really difficult to paint too!

Sadly the beach triptych is a non starter, they didn’t like the quote. I can’t reduce it as the materials are pricey and each one would take about 10 hours work. Hey ho. I’ve detailed how the quote was made up, maybe they’ll come back to me.

That’s a shame, I wonder how much they thought it would cost. Maybe when they’ve thought about it they’ll get back to you.
