Sometime within the past few months I saw what looked like a poster of multiple quartz specimens. There were several posters posted.

Can anyone point me to one of these posters?

Thank you,

Hi Ray,

maybe you mean my mineral collages?

That is exactly what I was looking for.

Are you interested in sharing a template together with brief instructions? These would be a good way for FMF members to share collections or stories involving multiple specimens.

Best Regards,

Hi Ray,

sure, I would be interested in sharing a template, it's just that there is none ;-) And the only instruction I can give is that I look at my mineral gallery, then I pick the best specimens/photos and put them together in an arrangemet that looks good to me. In the easiest way - with Microsoft Paint. It's just adjusting the size of some photos and then arrange them together in one file. And then, of course, adding the specimen information, a caption and a frame. Everything with the very simple functions of MS Paint ;-)

I hope I could help eventhough I can't share a template other than an empty BMP file ;-)

Thanks for the response.

Could you share one of collages? Say the one with Quartz.

I'll get a copy of Microsoft Paint.

Best regards,

Hi Ray,

feel free to save my collages from the FMF forum. I think this site scales the pictures down so if you want them in original resolution, you can give me your e-mail address.
