The Beaded Bag
A
Beadwork Magazine Juried Exhibition
| Be the first to see the winning bags at Bead Expo (April 11-15, 2007). An online gallery will be available at the end of April. |
 |
About the competition: To celebrate our love affair with bags, Beadwork announces our 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! We look 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.
