over the past 6 years i have designed a lot of products...some with Prima, some with Unity, some for the gift industry and many original pieces sold.
sometimes i am lucky enough to see pictures of what others create using my products, like the image above sent to me by Joy Taylor (it really does get me giddy). the act of sharing your work has the same momentum that is built by putting ideas out there...they multiply and inspire others to create beautiful, tangible pieces of art.
so i was thinking, what if there was one place to see everything?
after searching...there's not a perfect solution, lol!
but i would love to do my best to create one?
i really would like to use Pinterest, but at this point Pinterest doesn't do #hashtags (which may be good because they kinda confuse the hell out of me, lol), however, if you have used one of my stamps or any of my products i would really love to be able to collect them on a Pinterest board and create an idea center everyone can see!
so i created this board on Pinterest, "made with donna downey"
if you post your project photos using my products i will be able to search them out by the words, "made with donna downey" in the description and then i can simply add them to my "made with donna downey" board.
it's not the perfect solution, but it should work!
i would really love to see how my face stamps are getting used and see how each have been transformed in your creative hands!
"she is" stamp set
How about ideas from your videos that I have put into my own work? I have used some of your techniques. I didn't duplicate anything but an idea here or there has definately shown up.

Sounds like a great idea. Sadly, I'm not on Pinterest. Trying to resist because I know I'd just spend more time in front of my screen on it - instead of trying to create stuff! LOL

Brilliant idea!

Great idea! I've been putting just your name and not "made with" so I just edited a couple of pins to see if it would show up in the search with the whole phrase. They don't... oh well. Until the word gets out to put the phrase when originally pinning, you could look using your name... of course you'd see lots of your own work. Here are the 2 pins of mine I tried to edit with the phrase: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/253538653995896109/ and http://www.pinterest.com/pin/253538653995896123/

Hey great idea Donna! I went to the 'follow me on social media' area of your blog to be able to follow you on Pinterest ... But you don't have a link. When I searched for you on Pinterest there are 2 one with just your name and one that has the word 'artist' after your name .... Which is the real you? Thanks for always being so inspiring!
