Thanks so much for your support Bella Beads. This piece is made Lucite Beads from our one and only favorite shop Bella Beads! Thanks to all you Bella bloggers out their for your support for your votes and support.
I learned something from this contest that I will pass along so others don’t make the same mistake. I took a picture with a great photo setup but failed to recognize that they might shrink the original size. So make sure that your jewelry fills the full frame no matter what shape you have to put your piece in. The requirements state that the entire piece must be in the viewed in the picture. My piece is multiple strands and large beads so I had to lay it out in a circle. The dimensions for the pictures were rectangular so keep this in mind when designing for a contest. Look at the photo dimensions before you design a thing. Lesson learned! It looked great on my home computer large screen! Even the best setup can’t fix this type of error. What do they say “live and learn”. The photo can sink your beautiful work!
Great tip Rebecca! Best of luck!
Sorry to disappoint you, but you can only vote once total, so make it count!
Michelle, thank you for the correction. I’ll make that change.
