Entries are officially being accepted today and will be accepted until March 27th, 2009.

To enter please email me at jennifer@jangles.net with the following:

1. An image of your fabulous jewelry containing Jangles beads. It must have at least one Jangles bead in the piece. It must be your original work which you own the rights to. Pieces can be necklaces, earrings, or bracelets. The image should be a jpeg. and 1000 pixels in either height or width. A neutral background is always you're best bet for photographing jewelry. Don't freak out, this is supposed to be fun.

2. Please include your name, any contact information you would like posted on the blog. Examples, blog addresses, Etsy shops, website...you can't pass up free advertising if you have a business. You don't need to have a business to enter the contest.

3. Materials list for the entry.

4. A bit of background info. This can be either about you, your inspiration, or your design, whatever you feel you would like to say about your piece.


You may enter up to three entries, please make sure to send only one entry per e-mail. Incomplete entries will be disqualified. Judging is based on originality, craftsmanship, and aesthetics. Judging will be by me, Jennifer Heynen, and two other non Jangles judges.

Once I receive your entry, I will send you a quick e-mail letting you know I have received it.


Good luck and have fun.

Side note...if for some reason I don't get at least 30 entries for the contest I won't be able to go through with it. It would be a pretty boring night without your designs.

Excting Announcement

I have had it with winter and I am officially declaring it spring. I am going to be doing some fun stuff over the next few months. As you know I have been working on my new years plans and I think I have come up with some fun stuff. Let me list the fun...

I think I mentioned the new flower beads I am working on... well I will be debuting some as well as some other new and springy fun beads over the next few weeks. Stay tuned.

Next, I have been working on lots of craft projects lately. These are crafty projects that are all made with beads. I am going to declare March Jangles craft month. I will be featuring new projects every week for the month.

Now what I think is the most exciting bit of information....Jangles is hosting a Creative Celebration. Here's the scoop. We are kicking it off today and it will all culminate on April 1st. Let me explain the Jangles Creative Celebration. It all starts with a contest. I will be hosting a jewelry design contest with fabulous prizes. Jewelry should contain Jangles beads. (I will explain the official rules in another post tomorrow.) On April first I will be hosting another online event. If you attended my Holiday open house, you know it was fun. This one will be similar, but not exactly the same. I will announce the winners of the contest that evening, as well as feature designs throughout the night. This is a great chance for everyone to get a little inspiration and if you sell your jewelry it's free advertisement for you. I will also be having some sort of sale, but don't ask me what it is right now because I don't know. I will be working on some door prizes and other fun things once it gets closer to the date.

I hope you're all on board for some fun in the next few months. I will post the official rules in the next post. Feel free to pass it along to anyone you know, it's free to enter and there are some great prizes. Get your thinking caps on and start working on those designs.

Happy Spring!
Jennifer Jangles
