You all know about my soap box over copyright protection. Well, Pia, Erin and Yvette have created a wonderful visual break down of how to know if you can or shouldn't post an image. Click here to see a larger version at Yvette's site. (And yes, they give permission to share it - with credit!) They're even talking about making it available as a poster. Groovy.
Do you wonder how you can properly use my Coloring Page Tuesday images? I try to make my copyright guidelines clear with my Angel Policy.

Here's my latest Luv Monster - really a Luv Chicken. He didn't turn out as well as Luv Monster #1 and Luv Monster #2. I used a velour fabric for his body. Loved the color (a gorgeous aqua/teal), but it wouldn't hold an edge fer nuthin'. Neither would the upholstery sample I used for his belly. Hm. So, back to felt and simple cottons for the next monster. Anybody know of a good resource for non-standard colors of felt fabric?
Lego Printer
I was thinking about replacing my Epson with this one...

Blogger has a cool new feature which works with blogs like mine. Curious to enjoy my content in some neat new ways? Check out the MOSAIC feature. Or how about the FLIPCARD feature?
What about the TIMESLIDE view? Ot the ever groovy SIDEBAR view? Oh, and my fave - the SNAPSHOT view.
If you'd prefer to follow my blog in one of these layouts from now on (although none of them seem to pull up my coloring page images) - the trick is to add "view/flipcard (or whatever)" to the end of my URL. So, http://dulemba.blogspot.com/view/flipcard. Or just bookmark the URL in your favorites. Groovy, eh?

The Thieving MagPie
Illustrator pal, Barbara Johansen Newman recently turned me on to a fabulous creator - Richard Dunbrack of The Thieving Magpie. Richard takes found and sculpted objects and turns them into new, wonderful, whimsical pieces like this grandfather's clock. He's also been known to turn kitchens into works of art as well. Is it too early to start wishing for birthday presents?
Judging Books By Their Covers
With eReaders becoming more prevalent, there's been a lot of talk about the future of book covers. This is an especially good story on the subject by CBS Sunday Morning:

Author/Illustrator Katie Davis is well into her "30 Days of Marketing Tips" as she prepares for the release of her latest picture book LITTLE CHICKEN'S BIG DAY. There is some great advice in there - so I highly recommend the read!
Arts in Schools Grants
Did you know that I do school visits? Yup. Most children's book authors and illustrators do. However, school budgets have lowered and teachers are busier than ever, so it doesn't happen nearly as often as it used to.
Which is a shame, because I've seen remarkable things happen when children meet adults who were once just like them, wide eyed with wonder and possibilities, maybe from the same state or even the same town, who are now doing remarkable things with words and pictures.
These days it takes a very dedicated librarian, media specialist or teacher to make a school visit happen. And when it's not just time, but you have to beg and borrow for the funds too? Well...
Target is trying to make it easier. They are offering $2,000 grants to send creatives to your schools. (Between the honorarium, hotel, travel, etc. that's about what it costs.) Applications are accepted between March 1 and April 20th - so now's the time to apply!
Thanks to SLJ for the heads up.
