Nice pics!!! I have a pair of those hands too!!! I call them my GOD hands and put my hand in them everytime I pass by! He's Got the whole world in His Hands....

I'm back to my old stick-in-the-mud self reminding everyone of Garden Web/iVillage's terms of use when posting pictures or personal content:

By submitting content, which shall include your member name, to any "public area" of the GardenWeb Network, including, but not limited to, the forums and your personal website, exchange page and journal, you grant iVillage a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive right (including any moral rights) and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, sublicense, assign, derive revenue or other remuneration from, communicate to the public, perform and display the content (in whole or in part) worldwide and/or to incorporate it in other works in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed, for the full term of any Rights that may exist in such content.

They gain the right to use any photo (or content) you post here in perpetuity along with the right to alter it, FOREVER.

If you don't care about that, fine. But be advised of what you are agreeing to by posting here.

You can get around this by providing a LINK to your work on another site rather than posting the photo here. iVillage has no rights to your work elsewhere.

Back to your regularly scheduled post.

mosaicwench1:
I've read that a number of times and for some reason...I think I just got what it really says....
thankyou.

I guess it never occured to me, that it's possible to keep it more protected than I was aware of.
now I need to learn just how to do the link part of it.
does that mean to have the pictures uploaded to a site, like snapfish or photobucket?...
tell me more....us more...

thanks again

ohtobedone:
the pictures sure do show a lot of time and effort put towards them. great job and thankyou for sharing.

These are absolutely WONDERFUL! I sooooooooo LOVE the window. Tell me how you did this. Your pavers look like you definitely used the indirect method. Very neat. Do you use a ring saw, or score/nip and grind? Beautiful work. The window/bricks, instructions, please.

Ohtobedone, BEAUTIFUL art work! I am fascinated by your glass in the stone. Thank you for sharing!

MW, thanks again for your reminders on copyright issues.

Yes seaglassic, upload photos to yahoo or photobucket or wherever you like and then link to them here.

Just FYI d3bbi, one always retains copyright to ones own work (unless given away in WRITING) but by posting them here you are granting ivillage almost unlimited rights to use your work for their own purposes - forever!

very beautiful! maybe one day you could post a tutorial on making the stepping stones?

I wanna know if the window is made of faux stones, and is this a window in your house?

The stained glass window is in a replica carriage house in Iowa. He had me make the pattern of his business card which is selling cedar homes. He must have some very spoiled horses! I poured the hands. I have several latex molds which are fun. And the stepping stones I pour. I have a ring-saw which is a God send! I do a lot of pet memorial stones from pictures of their pets. I'll add some more pictures after I get this yard work finished!!

Nice work, I like that tree!

Mosaicwench, we discussed this on the ponding forum back in '98 or '99 and I would like to find a free photo hosting site with hot linking that does not have rights to use our stuff as they wish, tho' sometimes restricted to the time the service is used. Photobucket and Yahoo are quite clear on that point.

Nice pieces OTBD! Love that window!
