Share Your “Flavor of the Month”

Quilting Arts magazine has issued a new reader challenge – for their 2011 calendar!
The new calendar will feature the theme “Flavor of the Month” and they want you to use fiber art to express your creative take on the theme.
Think about the different “flavors” you could incorporate into your art quilt or mixed media artwork. How would you express the crispness of snow? What about the feel of autumn – apples, falling leaves – I can think of lots of flavors that could be used! How would summer taste – would you go for the salty tang of the beach or the smell of ripe fruit from an orchard?
There are very specific rules you must follow to be eligible – but the winner for each month’s image will win a $200 prize pack!
- You must create an artwork that is exactly 12″ X 12″ (they photograph it at real size for the magazine).
- Quilting Arts requires three 8″ X 10″ photos of the quilt (one full page, and two detail shots).
- There can’t be any kind of copyright infringements and it must be your own original work.
- It is for an art quilting magazine – so don’t forget it must be embellished, quilted or use mixed media techniques.
