"Visual Chronicles" has been used before, as a title for various art books and publications, but I like to think of my blog as my visual chronicle. So, I like to record pictures of stuff I've made, such as the seed-beaded starfish and beach glass pendant here. I only got one picture, and it's kind of fuzzy, but since I posted the beginning of the project here, I wanted to wrap it up properly.
The other way I keep a visual record is not only by posting my photos on Flickr, the photo-sharing site, but also by making Moo cards every now and then of my photos. Moo is a service found on Flickr, and for $19.99 you can get 100 different 1" x 3" (approx) photo cards of your work with your contact info on the back. You can also get stickers, albums, labels and much more. But I like the Moo cards best. This is my third set of 100. I posted some others on my Blythe blog.
Visual Chronicle is a perfect title for blogging - I guess that is exactly what we are doing... both for ourselves and for our friends in blogland!
ReplyDeleteHI Gina!
ReplyDeleteI wish we could have our blogs printed out in book form. I also wish I could have a book of all the pics I've marked as faves on flickr!
I keep meaning to check out the moo cards and have some made.. I should do it right now before american idol comes on!
have a great night!

I'm totally with you on the visual chronicling thing - I think blogs are great visual journals.

I love how you called your blog a visual chronicle!!! I sure wish you could have joined us at the retreat but we will try to organize one yearly!
