Wow. Two posts in as many days. I’m sure everyone out there is stunned.
But it is just really exciting when things actually start to mesh and workout.
I know I mentioned previously that I wouldn’t bore you with the details of our blog outage. So I won’t give you details. But part of the problem was the amount of images we generate and the willingness (or unwillingness, depending on your point of view) of our hosting company to allow us to continue. So, in order to continue to offer customers and clients as many images of our work as possible we found a neat little work around. Flickr.
Now we’d had a Flickr account for years, but never really used it. Turns out the good folks at tantannoodles have a great little plug-in for WordPress that allows you to store and retrieve images off site on your Flickr account. Presto! We’re back in the image producing business. Impressed? I was. If you are still as fuzzy as I was when it was explained to me let me give you an example:
This is a nine foot long custom Codfish we designed and created for the new Main Street location of Nantucket Looms. If you’re on island drop by and see it in the window – provided it hasn’t found a new home by now.
Still not convinced? O.K. we’ll try another one, but this is the last one:
This is the window display piece we did for our June gallery show at City Folk Gallery in Lancaster, PA. It is a solid tabletop swan with a crooked neck position and ‘flying’ wings.
A few months back I would’ve hesitated to post these images on our website because of the server limitations. So they would’ve been filed, only to come out when a client asked to see other fish or other swans we’ve done in preparation for ordering a custom piece. But now I can throw caution to the wind and toss images around willy-nilly like Annie Liebowitz playing 52 pickup!
So as long as I have the time for updating this site (unless I can train someone in the studio here to do it!) we’ll be posting more images.
And I apologize for giving out boring details. But you did get two posts in two days out of it didn’t you?
