Bag designing challenge "Outside of the Frame"


Marianne Seiman of Heegeldab and Leina Neima of X by Leina Neima  have proposed a new international bag designing challenge called “Outside of the Frame”.  The aim is to encourage crafters to push boundaries, to play and creatively interpret a given theme and make a bag.

The challenge is open to everyone beginner and experienced fiber people alike. It is a challenge, not a competition so there are no prizes as such.

Every two months a  theme is announced the challenge is to design and make a bag. There are no limitations on size, style shape, material or technique. You just have to use your imagination and make a bag.

This challenge runs from October 2009 till January 2011.

It looks fun and you can find all the details about the “Outside of the Frame” bag challenge are at Craftwerk

There is also a flickr group for the challenge and as you can see from the screen shot there is already some bags created.
