The Bags of Fun challenge

About the Project :

This was a challenge run in late 2005 between September and November. The idea was to make a bag or container of some sort, from recycled jeans embellishing them using any technique available to textile practitioners.

Options were wide open, to encourage people to use their imagination and creativity. The bag made from recycled jeans just had to be embellished.

All copyrights are held by individual artists.

For reference the guidelines that were used at the time are:

This is a challenge to make a bag or container of some sort, from recycled jeans embellishing it using any technique available to textile practitioners.

Options are wide open, to encourage people to use their imagination and creativity. It’s a case of anything goes. It does not have to be in any period style ie limited to a 70’s look nor is it limited to any one technique. The bag that you make from recycled jeans just has to be embellished anyway you wish.

There is a 3 month deadline which means the deadline is November 8th 2005. Anyone can join in at any stage if they feel so inclined just email me or leave a comment. The only thing is that you will have shorter period to work your bag. In other words there is no deadline to sign up just a deadline to complete.
