SPRING BEADING CONTEST!!!

I am working with a bead shop on Etsy.  They have put together identical kits of beads.  If you want to participate you can buy the kit, to enter the contest and will have about 3-4 weeks to create anything you would like with those beads.   April 1st is our goal for now to have all submission turned into us!

Then submit your finished photo's back to me, and I will list them on our contest page. 

galla15@verizon.net  Please submit your finished piece photo's to this e-mail address, with the subject:  Trinkets Contest

 I will have voting buttons below each submission, and we will allow voting for 1 week.  I have multiple sponsors offering 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes.

Here is a link to the shop and the kits to buy:

You can use any technique you want, wire wrapping, straight beading, beadweaving, mixed media... The only requirement is to use the beads in this kit.  You can add to the kit, use your own components to add to it.  You can make any type of jewelry with this, rings, to watches, necklaces, earrings etc.  But make sure you use the beads in the kit to be eligible.

Submit your absolute best, bright photo's... otherwise many won't vote on something they can not clearly see!!  Depending on the responses we may extend the timeline to create.  Because if people want kits and we run out I will need an extra week to get those kits out!  So come to this page frequently for updates.

Start spreading the word.

Some prizes will be:  Gift certificates for more beads, and free advertising for a month on some really great websites!  Plus the Title of Trinkets Jewelry Contest!!

I plan on having a contest 3-4 times a year, with various themes, and challenges.  So I look forward to all of the creative submissions.
