craftgrrl | Bag Patterns Book - Call for Designer Submissions

For you crafty kids....Shannon Okey from knitgrrl.com says:

A major fiber arts publisher has asked me to write a multi-designer book of bag patterns, and they want to really focus on independent designers. If you'd like to submit a design for consideration, I'd love to see it! Here's what I need from you now:

* a photo or photos of the bag in question -- if it's not made yet, a sketch is fine
* info on the materials and techniques used so we can make sure there's a wide range
* your contact info (name, email, phone if you want, website if you have one)

Send this to bags@knitgrrl.com

I'd like to see bags of all material types and techniques -- everything from sewn, quilted, felted, knitted, recycled, nuno-felted, embellished, lalalalala to (surprise me).

You will be paid, plus get full credit and bio info. This publisher is particularly designer-friendly in terms of copyright, too.

I'm also interested in interviewing designers who primarily create bags for "designer spotlights" (if you've seen my book Spin to Knit, think the spinner profiles I did there).

Please send questions to the email address above. Thanks so much!
