\"Facebook“What a great way
\nfor everyone to show
\nthe results of learning new
\ntechniques here. Inspired
\nfor us to challenge our creativity.” ~Jocelyn-C<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A lot of emails have come in lately, asking for instructions on how to upload photos to the new Polymer Clay Facebook Gallery<\/a>.\u00a0 So I figured it was time to create a resource page with all of the information you need to know, here on one place.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

First of all, everyone should realize that the main reason I set up the Facebook Gallery, was for you guys to be able to share pictures of your beads and jewelry in a central location. You now have the ability to upload your own photos, rather than having to wait for me or Doug to get them posted for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

The gallery allows both members as well as non-members to easily browse through a large collection of photos for quick ideas and inspiration. And along with each photo, are links that point back to pages here at this site, which provide more information about the techniques used.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

And yes… there is a contest that is happening in association with this Facebook Gallery initiative. Periodically, I will be doing a random draw to give away a nice big batch of beads<\/a>, handmade by me, your Polymer Clay Tutor. The value of my bead giveaway prizes amount to roughly what you would pay for a 2 year membership at the Polymer Clay Video Library<\/a>. This is just an added perk to give you extra motivation to share your photos with everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cindy and Doug, thanks so much for taking the time to design a fun way for folks here to showcase their wonderful work. I know it takes a lot of time to get all on board with new formats and systems, but, once that’s done, then it’s just a glorious picture share for all of us to oogle either here, or on Facebook. What a great way for everyone to show the results of learning new techniques here. Inspired for us to challenge our creativity. I love it. <\/span>~Jocelyn-C<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Photo Upload Instructions and Contest Details:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

b)<\/span><\/span> <\/strong>In the Write Something<\/em> text area for each photo, add your description, caption or story. If you know how, please also include an http:\/\/ web link that points back to the page on my blog which provided you with creative inspiration for your project. Usually the best pages to reference are the are Tuesday posts with the teaser video clips. If you don’t know how to add the link to your description, then don’t worry about it. Someone else will do that for you. Just be sure to say which techniques were used in the making of your project.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

c)<\/strong><\/span><\/span> When you are all done, click on the Share<\/em> Button to complete the process.

So the more photos you upload and describe, the more chances you have of winning.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

d)<\/span> <\/strong><\/span>OPTIONAL:<\/em> If you have published a longer write-up or story about your contest entry (at your blog for example), add an additional comment to your Facebook photo(s) which includes a link to your own blog post (the permalink url for your post). If your blog article contains additional anchor text links<\/em>**<\/span><\/strong><\/span> that point back to my blog, each of those anchor text links will count as 3 more bonus contest entry points for you. This will really increase your chances of winning the grand prize.
