1. Share Objects for Display
Sharing Your Cherished Glass Clown Collectibles and More
- Glass Clowns: We extend a warm invitation to share your glass clown items, representing various forms and originating from diverse manufacturers and locations. Your glass clown collectibles are vital in expanding our virtual museum’s collection and showcasing the artistic diversity within the world of glass clown craftsmanship.
- Catalogs: If you have catalogs related to glass clown collectibles, please consider offering them. These catalogs serve as valuable reference materials for enthusiasts and scholars interested in this unique art form.
(Before providing a catalog, we kindly ask that you ensure it’s not already part of our collection as we may be searching for a better version in some cases.) - Sticker Images: Contribute images of stickers associated with glass clown items. These images add an extra layer of authenticity to our collection and aid in the identification of these collectibles. Some items come with manufacturer or distributor images, which are particularly helpful in identifying makers and other relevant information.
(Prior to providing a specific image, please verify that it’s not already within our collection, as we may be looking for a better version in some cases.) - Signature Images: Share images featuring signatures on glass clown items. These signatures often carry historical and artistic significance, contributing to the overall understanding of each piece’s origin.
Image Submission Guidelines
Ensuring Uniformity and Quality
- Background: When supplying images, kindly place the items on a neutral background, preferably white. This practice ensures a consistent and professional look and feel across our entire collection. Please refrain from including your fingers or hands in the images.
- Multiple Images: We request multiple images of each glass clown item. This 10-sided view should include images of the top, bottom, and eight distinct views around the item. These comprehensive visuals provide our visitors with a thorough understanding of each piece’s unique features and craftsmanship.
2. Share Information and Stories
Enriching Our Collection with Context
We ask for a range of information about the items you supply, and while you can return to add details, the sooner they are added, the more helpful for the research effort.
The details we ask for include, but are not limited to:
- Dimensions: Include information about the dimensions of each item, providing valuable insights into the size and scale of the collectibles.
- Weight: Share the weight of the items, offering further details about their physical attributes.
- Shape, Colors, and Other Characteristics: Describe the specific shape, colors, and any other distinguishing characteristics that make each item unique. These details are essential for a comprehensive understanding of the glass clown collectibles.
- Item History (“Story”): Share any information or anecdotes you may have regarding the item’s history, significance, or unique features. These personal stories add depth to our collection, connecting the items to the people, places, and memories that make them special.
3. Receive a Unique Code
Ensuring Secure Image Submissions
Upon submitting your items, you will receive a unique code.
This code serves a dual purpose:
- Secure Image Submission: It enables you to securely send images of the items to our Gmail account. This precaution ensures that all images are free from unintended malware or viruses.
- Item Linking: We have programs in place that link the images you send with the specific item you’ve contributed. This meticulous process safeguards the integrity of our digital archive and maintains the connection between the items and their visual representation.
4. Your Very Own Unique Collection
Display Your Collection with a Unique Link
When you contribute items, they become accessible across the internet.
You can also create your own collection link, allowing your family, friends, or anyone you share it with to find your unique collection of items.
For this reason, it’s important to include only items you own in your collection.
Your contributions extend beyond physical objects. They help us preserve the cultural heritage and stories behind these glass clown items, enriching the experience for all visitors to our virtual museum.
If you have questions, need assistance, or wish to explore other ways to contribute, please do not hesitate to contact us.
