 What's Next?
 We want you to win!
 We're still soliciting your mixed media submissions.  We'll enter you in a drawing and post your project in our gallery (see announcement below).  Don't wait!  Thanks to those of you who have already sent in your pictures.
 

Join us for the Sir Mix-a-Lot Challenge (or Madam Mix-a-Lot).  If you enjoy mixed media, i.e., you enjoy combining 2 or more crafts like crocheting, beading, and embroidering, for example, here's your chance to mix things up and have your work featured in our Spring 2008 issue gallery.  Use an existing pattern or feel free to design something. Send in a photograph of your mixed media project for us to put in the gallery, and we'll enter you in a drawing to win a prize (to be determined, but it'll be a good one).

Issue: Spring/April 2008
Deadline: Send photos by March 7, 2008. Drawing will be held on March 10, 2008.
Contact: submissions@black-purl-magazine.com
