Cutting each bracelet out in photoshop, from each angle mind you, that equals five separate pictures. Then creating a background etc. I feel like I spend as much time with the pictures as making the actual piece.<\/p>\n<p>Many people have pieces that lend themselves to soft \u00a0backgrounds or they are just great at picture taking. I want to clay&#8230;..not spend hours trying to get ready to sell.<\/p>\n<p>I had this digital collage that I worked on awhile back and it was back and white checks with the saying , &#8220;treat me no differently than you would the queen&#8221; When I made my &#8220;Alice \u00a0in Wonderland&#8221; bracelet, I thought of it and printed it out and used it as the background.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/polymerclayetc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/alice2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2487\" title=\"Alice in Wonderland - Alice Stroppel\" src=\"http:\/\/polymerclayetc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/alice2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/polymerclayetc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/alice2.jpg 300w, http:\/\/polymerclayetc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/alice2-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I thought it really worked for this bracelet. So I tried a piece of fabric that I had for the next bracelet that day.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/polymerclayetc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/earringgirl4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2491\" title=\"Fashionista\" src=\"http:\/\/polymerclayetc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/earringgirl4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/polymerclayetc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/earringgirl4.jpg 300w, http:\/\/polymerclayetc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/earringgirl4-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And this wasn&#8217;t bad either. At least I didn&#8217;t have to spend the time preparing it for Etsy. But we&#8217;ll see how it&#8217;s accepted by my customers. Translation&#8230;will it sell????<\/p>\n<p>I have a really great big book of clip art and I found some pretty neat backgrounds and will be trying some of them as well. I liked the words in the background of the &#8220;Alice&#8221; bracelet, maybe I&#8217;ll play around with that some too.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have clip art, you can make your own background with regular copy paper and markers. I&#8217;ll be trying that too I think and I&#8217;ll let you know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been spending a lot of time with my photos for Etsy.
