Enter Contest, Win Fame Among Re-users
The website Extreme Craft, whose awesome tagline is "A compendium of art masquerading as craft, craft masquerading as art, and craft extending its middle finger," is soliciting submissions for an upcoming book of craft ideas. The blog's intent is to create a book of what they call "21st-century craft and design, all made with recycled, upcycled, repurposed, and reused items." The people running the contest are open to all varieties of final project: jewelry, clothing, accessories, household items, kids' toys, vehicle accessories...if you craft it, they want to see it. And of course, the more esoteric and counterintuitive your foundational materials are, the better.
So if you've ever spent a fevered afternoon making a purse out of old pieces of bubble wrap and scraps of yarn, then sat back, admired your work, and thought "The world needs to know about this!," now's your chance. Only hurry - the deadline is January 6.
