- Please post pics you are ok with the world to see! You might get featured in an upcoming video!
- Try to take your best photos, ideally with the piece being worn or displayed prominently.
- Please upload pics that frame your work centrally – images that are cropped in extra tall or wide may display poorly.
- At any stage of the process, if you feel like something could be better…
- Or if I missed something important when building the content…
- Or if our FAQ is missing something…
