Flickr Favourites Mosaic and How to Get Mosaic Links

One Little Acorn has recently been playing with the Mosaic Maker over at Big Huge Labs. She was wondering how to get the links to the photos. Of course, that seemed like far more fun to play with than marking tests like I should be....

This is a mosaic I made with some of my Flickr favourites.

1. Hiyori, 2. Labels, 3. Mushroom House: Red, 4. SPFW inverno 2008 - by Ronaldo Fraga, 5. cupids, 6. Grace, 7. Passport Wallet-Kokeshi Dolls (Interior), 8. Passport Wallet-Kokeshi Dolls, 9. shibori furoshiki

After you hit the "create button" it takes you (after a short wait) to a page with your new mosaic. Under that is a box that says "Copy this html...".

Do that, and you have your links! Mind you, this will only work if you've got the photos from Flickr (or I believe another online source). You can't get links for photos you've uploaded directly from your computer files.

Store Stuff

I've just had a busy couple of days sorting, sorting fabrics and store items. I've just updated the store. I've got some gorgeous new tins and some funky new retro origami paper just to name a few.

I've promised Wayne I'll come to bed before 3am tonight. I love staying up and working late at night. It's strange, it's like my creative brain doesn't wake up until 9pm and when I can, I love to run with it through the night. Not something you can do when you have to be at work at 8am though. I start back at school in a few days and really have to get my body clock back in line.

But just before I go to bed... I found some funky new tools to use with digital photos and flickr. I made this mosaic using this site, they have lots of other fun stuff to play with too.... a very fun way to pass the time....

But for me, I'd better get off to bed!
