You wanted to know...
Should I choose color or b&w for my photos?
The photos you send can (and should) be in color, but how you would like them in your finished bracelet is up to you! I usually suggest b&w because it ties the images together and just plain looks great! About 90% of my bracelet orders are requested in b&w. Don't forget when selecting your images that I cannot and will not reproduce professional or studio images. To be safe, select pictures from your own albums (or your sister's or your cousin's)!
What size should I order?
The sizes are in inch measurements (6.5, 7, 7.75, not necessarily exact), but I consider them more like S, M, L.
I fit a medium as does most everyone I know. If you can wear a watch straight from the store it is probably true for you too. If you tend to have to get watches tightened (petite wrists) then you need a small. If watches are typically tight on you, then try a large. Being elastic based, you do not want to wear something too small as it will feel tight all day long and leave marks on your wrists.
Can't I make one of these bracelets myself?
You sure can. Now that doesn't sound like a great marketing tool to tell you that you can make these yourself HOWEVER several clients buy bracelets from me because they HAVE tried to make one themselves. I am a professional photographer and I know about color enhancement, cropping, sizings, printing... so you will get the best prints you can from your selected photos. I also laminate the images for added protection. I have assembled 100s of bracelets so I have a system for cutting and inserting. It will take the average person about 4 to 5 hours to figure out the sizing, printing, cutting, and inserting - often using multiple copies before getting a "good" one. If it is worth it to you, then do it! But if you prefer to save 5 hours and sore fingers, then send your pictures to me!
