Momiji are traditional wooden Japanese dolls that have a space for secret messages inside. LoveMomiji.com is sponsoring the Momiji Couture Contest, which takes Momiji in a creative new direction.
To enter the contest, you can use the templates they provide to create your own fabric Momiji doll using any textile method you’d like, such as embroidery, knitting, weaving, printing, and so on. The options are only limited by your imagination!
The goal of the contest is to assemble a “catwalk of exquisite Momiji dolls” to showcase the inspiration and skills of textile artists from around the world. A panel of experts will choose ten finalists based on overall “wow factor”, in addition to skill and craftsmanship.
The finalists’ dolls will be displayed in Los Angeles and judges will vote to select an overall winner who will be featured in Selvedge magazine and will work with a press team that will tell the world about their talent.
Get more news about the contest and keep up with official blog at http://www.momijicouturecontest.blogspot.com/. To get the templates, meet the judges, or view more information on how to enter, visit Love Momiji.
