We were so impressed with the Vlad hats that we wanted to give y'all another chance to shine. The Lughnasadh '09 issue (yet to be named) is going to be embroidery projects (crewel, needlepoint, cross stitch, WHATEVER), and the winner of this brand! new! contest! will have their patterns featured.

Seeing as how no one is currently impugning our collective craft honor (Hi, Steven!), we decided to juice up our brain-hamsters to come up with a suitable theme. Drumroll, please!

Interpret that however you like. No really... there were some drugs involved and we really can't be held responsible for any sane explanation of the theme.

So then!

1. Come up with some kind of embroidery project centering on the theme of Luchador Boudoir.
   
   
2. Send your entry to submit@theanticraft.com. Be sure to do the following things. Entries not meeting these conditions will be disregarded. (If you need to send multiple emails to get in all your photos, that's fine, we'll go by the timestamp on your first email.)
   • Put "Luchador Boudoir entry" in the subject line.
   • Send photos of the front and back of your project.
   • Write instructions following the submission guidelines.
   
   
   
3. Your email must be timestamped in our mailbox by 11:59pm on May 20 June 1, 2009. Winners will be notified by email around June 1. (Winners will also keep it to themselves until the issue publishes in the first week of July.) Entries not meeting these conditions will be disregarded; winners who can't keep a secret will forfeit their prize.
   
   
4. PRIZES! We have a bunch of craft books piling up at HQ. When a winner has been chosen we'll send them a list of available titles and they can pick 5. We'll package them specially in a project bag and throw in some other goodies, too.
