To celebrate Beadwork Magazine’s love affair with bags, Beadwork announces their fifth international juried exhibition: The Beaded Bag! For some, a stylish handbag is the epitome of bags. Others may conjure bags as diverse as an amulet bag, a shopping bag, or a doctor’s bag. From glamour to utility, bags tell many stories! Beadwork looks forward to seeing where your skill and imagination will take you! The winning new designs will be featured in a gallery in Beadwork magazine and the bags will be exhibited at Bead Expo in 2007.
Preliminary Deadline: 12 January 2007. Visit the site for details.
