Something has been bothering me for a while.
I have heard an artist should never limit themselves to colouring inside the lines, but the fact that the writing ends outside the link-up button for our weekly WIP Wednesday posts bothers me. I love to see the logo on the blogs of our collective members... but I've also noticed that other link-up buttons are more appealing to me.
I thought I could hide it. I thought I had it under control. But I've given up and an seeking help. I have "link-up image envy".
What do you think? (Please reply below, in the "leave a comment" section.) Do you think we should change our link-up button? Can you help? You are an incredibly creative and resourceful collective. I think we can make a different button that is as symbolic and beautiful as others' buttons.
As Monika and I work out some details about how to create a new button and keep you all involved in the process, please let us know what you think. I promise to read all of your ideas.
With thanks,
Laurel
YES PLEASE! Change the button and update it. Most "buttons" are square now.
ReplyDeleteI like the button and the fact that it is outside the lines.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I have not been able to grab the button to post on my blog.
I think it's great that you're asking the collective for input and creative ideas! The words outside the lines never bothered me. . . maybe a red maple leaf as the background? I think a new button is a good idea and look forward to the results.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a maple leaf, maybe incorporate a needle and thread either stitching it down or the stem be the needle with thread thru it?
ReplyDeleteIt's our 150 birthday next year so wave hrs maple leaf!
