Outrageously Impractical Jewellery...

I think the title speaks for itself really, but I just had to share these. 

I love the uniqueness of artistic jewellery and the talent required to create them but am often baffled by the need of some to create jewellery that is so outrageous in form that it is unwearable. 

I think perhaps at my soul I must be a terribly practical person, because whilst I realise that for these creators its more about art, I cannot help feel that handmade jewellery should, at the very least, be wearable.

But don't get me wrong, I think anyone with the vision to create these unique pieces is talented and has an unusual creative mind.  

A Super How to Tutorial on Making Collage Images Clickable...

I love Collages, Don't you!

Anyone who has visited my old blog before the move would know that I love montages or collages. They are a fantastic way of sharing multiple items in one image, keeping your post clean and uncluttered and visually short. 


But the one thing I don't love is having to add a list of ugly website links at the end of the post to share where the collage items came from and give credit to their owners like in this post I did over at the old blog sharing some cute little critters. It really ruins the aesthetics of a post, especially when the links are long. Unfortunately, when I started posting regularly this was the only way I knew how to share the links or credits for the owners of these fabulous images.

Of course there are lots of ways to make the links more attractive, but having a post like Going Dotty where every image in the collage is linked back to an original source is cleaner, more appealing and so much easier for readers.

So today I thought I would share what changed for me. As you can see from the two posts, at some stage I had an 'ah-ha' moment. Actually, it probably wasn't an ah-ha moment so much as I just found this great tutorial on how to make collage images clickable. 

The tutorial is available at Anyonita Nibbles, a little food blog I found recently. 

The instructions were so simple I cannot believe I ever did it any other way. If you make collages to share online, whether in a blog, website and even just on Facebook and PInterest, you have to head over to Anyonita's site to check out this great tutorial, its the best thing I every did.

Really, you only have to look at the two screenshots of my blog posts to realise what a difference it makes visually. 

Hope you all find this super useful.
