| Betsy

Leanne Prain, who with Mandy Moore wrote the fantastic Yarn Bombing, is asking for submissions for her next book, Hoopla: The Art of Unexpected Embroidery! She is accepting submissions until June 15, 2010, and the book will be published by Arsenal Pulp in the fall of 2011.

Direct from the site:

Hoopla: The Art of Unexpected Embroidery rebels against the traditional notions of quaint embroidery with motifs of flowers and songbirds. The book will feature unusual stitch work on a variety of surfaces and textures. With off-beat patterns including subway maps, feminist Girl Guide badges, and metal band letterforms; Hoopla will demonstrate that modern embroidery artists are as sharp as the needles that they work with. If you describe your stitch-work as arresting, subversive, quirky, or conceptual, Hoopla should feature your design work.

There is no entry fee, and designers are encouraged to submit multiple designs. Please include your complete contact information (email and mailing addresses) with your submission. Hard-copy submissions will not be returned unless an SASE or International Mailing Coupon is provided. The deadline for submission ideas is June 15th, 2010.

Designers who are chosen to participate will receive the materials necessary to create their project, an honorarium, a free copy of the book, and credit for taking part in the book.

One thought on “Submission call!!”

  1. Hi Betsy,

    Thanks for mentioning my submission call. I appreciate it – I only have a short time to get the word out.

    I hope all is well – I’ve been following your online project with Kim. It has been a fascinating journey.
