Wow, this took a while! The delay was partly because I was still adjusting from the move and partly because there were two entries I just couldn't decide between. Finally, I realized that since it took so long to decide, I could only conclude that it means both deserve to win first prize.
So here are the two winners:
starlit-sorceress.deviantart.c… Check out the wonderful magical chaos in this girl's hair!
starlit-sorceress.deviantart.c… I wish I had a dress that could turn into a secluded forest pond.
Each will win a $20 necklace with free US shipping (or $5 off international)
Runners up win free US shipping ($5 off international) until May: AJ333, CherrieNova, angeldust1997
----------------------
I'm moving to Mississippi, so the winner will be announced by the end of this week. (I want to be fair and choose a winner when I don't have so many things going on.)
-5 entries! First prize (a $20 necklace) will come with free shipping!

Jewelry-Inspired Drawing
For January's contest, create a drawing or painting inspired by one or more of my jewelry pieces. Who might own that pair of earrings? Could that necklace have magical properties? The jewelry doesn't have to be visible or even in the drawing at all. I'm mostly interested in the characters and background imagery inspired by it.
Contest begins now and ends on the last day of January.
-The medium is drawing or painting, either traditional or digital. (No photos or photomanipulation of any kind.)
-Also, no more than two entries, please. (I'd feel bad if you spent days making a whole bunch and then didn't win.)
Rules and tips
-------------------
Comment or note me with a link to your piece that....
1. is categorized appropriately for a drawing or painting (either digital or traditional), and once again no photos or anything that you didn't draw yourself.)
2. isn't obviously fanart. Yes, I know I've done fanart jewelry such as Arwen's evenstar pendant, but that's way too easy.
3. is submitted to DA during the month of January, 2013. (This is so I'm never biased toward any "old favorites" that people have already sent me)
4. Has a description in the comments about how they're connected and what you were inspired by. (Don't forget to link to the related jewelry pieces and credit me!)
5. is G-rated please. (PG is okay for implied romance and light action/adventure)
Prize Rules
---------
If at least two people enter, first prize will be a $20 necklace with shipping paid by the winner. If at least five people enter, I'll pay shipping. If more people enter, there will be more prizes.
Honorable mention(s): Free shipping until the end of February. (Note: Every entry that follows the rules and shows reasonable effort is an honorable mention!)
New rule: Only one entry can win a prize. So if you submit two entries and they both win something, you'll get the better prize, but not both.
Permission rules
---------------
I get permission to copy/paste every entry into my pictures folder and use them to promote my jewelry for as long and as often as I want. (I won't change them, and if I use your work at all, I will link to you on my website.)

Freebie Island has faded into existence!
Rising from the dark nothingness and shadowed in the hidden places of the internet that Google cannot find, it beckons to curious adventurers with the promise of ebooks, printables, tutorials, and many other ways to enjoy your new jewelry.
I wanted a way to reward people who subscribe to http://www.starlit-sorceress-jewelry.com/Newsletter/ my monthly email newsletter , and this seemed like the most awesome way to do it.
What's in the newsletter? Well, it's pretty much the same thing as watching me here on deviantART, only more convenient, more content, all in one place, and only once a month.
Thinking about it? You can browse past issues h
WINNER! Re-design slave Leia! Win earrings!
This contest was extremely hard to judge, and once I'd narrowed it down to half the entries, it was almost impossible. If I hadn't added a runner-up prize level, I'd still be judging now.
Thank you so much to everyone who entered. The variety of entries was better than I could have imagined! I was really amazed by all the creativity. I saw the bra turned into a vest. I saw the neck chain used as a signature weapon. I saw the red drapery turned into skirts and loose, baggy pants. I was amused to notice so many people leaving the boots as they were after I mentioned that I liked them. I saw Leias suited for ballroom dancing, sneaking around da
