Today brings our first #AfricanFabricMonth to a close! Thanks to all who participated. Of course, every month is AFM for most of us, but still it was fun to designate a special month! And we look forward to growing it bigger in 2017 and beyond. Until then, we wind up this inaugural month with another opportunity to show off, and to help keep the creative energy flowing right into October — I wanted to remind you to enter CE’s Fun and Easy Handbag Challenge!
Bag by Akonnoba Designs
Simply email a photo and 1-2 sentence description, including the maker’s name between now and October 10. We’ll show them all off on this blog at the close of the Challenge, then choose one lucky winner to receive a selection of handbag-making supplies & goodies, including a copy of my third book, African Accents On The Go! No entry forms, no fees…no excuses not to enter ; ) Email your entry to info@CulturedExpressions.com
You don’t necessarily have to make something new for the Challenge now, but if you’re looking for inspiration, check out DIY Handbag Highlights.
We’re lovin’ the entries we’ve received so far, and there is still plenty of time to send yours. It can be an oversized weekender bag, a wallet, crossover, satchel, zippered pouch, Vintage coin purse, or any size in between. Mix your favorite African fabrics with accents of upholstery, leather or anything else.
