I've got two bids already. After I get a couple more I'll have you guys look at their profiles and ideas for how they'd make the bag. You can help me decide who gets to make it.

Whoa, four more bids now. Here, I'll start posting them. Bid from ComestibleKid Request changes Cost of item: $250.00 Shipping cost: $5.00 Completion date: Nov 10, 2009 Description: hi, i can make your head for you, probably out of fabric mostly, but it may need have a bit of support from something like a light plastic mesh. i can definitely do it though, it would be a really fun project, i can picture it perfectly tell me what you think, terry Payment Terms: due up front Shipping Terms: 1st class Bid from pattio Request changes Cost of item: $200.00 Shipping cost: $10.35 Completion date: Aug 31, 2009 Description: I envision a rounded tote bag with some areas stuffed with batting to give them depth. Her eyes would be closed, and her mouth partly open. There would need to be some paint and/or appliques to give her detail. I don't think her face needs to be grey or blue; just pale. I envision lots of snake "hair" both hanging and attached around the sides, back and wrapping around handles. This would be fabric wrapped cotton cord 3/4" and 1" widths. It would be lined with a couple of pockets inside and could close with a magnetic snap. You won't see anything like this on my shop site! But, everything there is my own pattern. Payment Terms: Paypal or check; 1/2 in advance and 1/2 upon completion, but before shipping Shipping Terms: U.S. Postal priority box Bid from AmysArtWorld Request changes Cost of item: $300.00 Shipping cost: $0.00 Completion date: Nov 10, 2009 Description: A medusa bag with dreadlock stuffed snake hair, embroidered eyes , some sparkle and flare- I make purses quilted and reversible -I also made this pillow and wanted you to see it as an example of my work in creativity when someone wanted 2 pillows inspired by horror. http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=7904570 Payment Terms: half up front half upon completion Shipping Terms: post office Bid from squarejane Request changes Cost of item: $90.00 Shipping cost: $6.00 Completion date: Jun 9, 2009 Description: Hi there. This is such an awesome and fun idea i would absolutely LOVE to make this for you. I have all kinds of material that is perfect for making totes including but not limited to super durable vinyl in many colors. great for tote bags. I would suggest the light greeny color i have for the face and an extra durable shoulder strap... Hair would be made of brown, green and black vinyl that would then be attached to the head and up the strap to make the strap almost invisible... naturally, all of those snakes would have eyes and tongues. i would sketch up the imagery before starting to be sure you were content with the look. Bag would be fully lined and have inside pockets for your stuff. Payment Terms: once drawings have been agreed upon and work has started. Shipping Terms: well packaged and shipped via parcel post. Bid from BrandysHenNChicks Request changes Cost of item: $199.99 Shipping cost: $0.00 Completion date: Nov 9, 2009 Description: Hello! I would love to make this bag for you! I think it would be a lot of fun. I would use burlap or muslin for the head. I would color parts of the face so it is not just one color- like browns or greens. I could put in glass eyes, made by an etsyan, to make it really creepy! The snakes will be made of different colors and maybe textures of cotton and other materials. They can wrap and twist and mangle around the handles and also around the head. To shape the face, I will stitch and stuff so it has lots of features and character- not just flat and boring. You can see my shop at BrandysHenNChicks.etsy.com - now these items are not as artistic as Medusa's Head, which is a cool idea, but you can see the quality of my work here. I do a good job and take my time to do it. I use other mediums as well including clay, paper, paint, etc. Please let me know if you are interested in working with me Payment Terms: pay after complete Shipping Terms: usps parcel post Bid from imacreativesoul Request changes Cost of item: $150.00 Shipping cost: $15.00 Completion date: Jun 19, 2009 Description: I think this is a cool idea and I work a lot with fabrics and airbrushing on fabrics. So I already have a good idea of what to do in my head. I have manufactured and made fabric clothing and bags all my life. My site is not set up on here yet because I just joined, but I really really need work! I have been out of work for over 6 months now and I'm about to lose my home, so if you are willing to take a chance on me I promise it will be worth it! Thanks for your consideration. Amy Payment Terms: 25% to start, balance due when ready to ship Shipping Terms: boxed UPS or Fedex Ground What do you guys think? So far, I like squarejane, and not just because she gave the lowest estimate. I thought her stuff had a lot of character. I'm happy that some of them seem genuinely excited at the opportunity.

"I was struck with the thought that it would be much cooler if I was carrying around Medusa's head."
Seriously: JP?

"I was struck with the thought that it would be much cooler if I was carrying around Medusa's head." Come on, you could call me Purseus when I'm using it to carry home my Gorgonzola cheese.

Hey, I'll take that. Here's another bid (I'm actually surprised at the response so far): Bid from faeryspellcreations Request changes Cost of item: $200.00 Shipping cost: $10.00 Completion date: Nov 10, 2009 Description: Hello! I would love to do this for you! I create bags with soft sculpture, handpainted and needlesculpted fairy, goddess and mythic faces. I even have a medusa bag that I did some time ago, here: http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cf...mageID=49753814That version is a small, evening bag, but your idea for a large tote, with medusas hair incorporated as the handles, is so intriguing and I'd love to make it. You can see more of my bags by peeking through my sold items in my shop: http://www.faeryspellcreations.etsy.comsome on my website: http://www.faeryspellcreations.comand some in the 'faery wear' photo album on the albums page on my myspace, too: http://www.myspace.com/faeryspellcreationsEach of my bags are one of a kind, and fully customizable as to fabrics, colors, etc. If you have any favorite photos of the kind of medusa face you are after, I would be happy to style your bag after that as well Payment Terms: half down to begin order, balance due when finished Shipping Terms: Priority Mail or Fed Ex
