I am both honored and excited to be contributing to this wonderful cause again! Virginia Spiegel has championed this project annually since 2006. Collectively, these events have raised $240,000. This year 100 artists have created artwork for sale and we hope to raise at least $10,000 and push the total to $250,000.00. And this is the best part: 100% of this money goes to the American Cancer Society. No one contributing gets a "cut" of this money: every single penny that is raised goes to the organization. I hope the recipient "falls in love" with this piece. I have been looking at the Pinterest board dedicated to this project and I am very excited about all the lovely artwork.
And, as much as I wish I didn't have to say it: this is personal. I lost my niece to cancer almost a year ago to the day. I have a good friend who is battling pancreatic cancer as I write. My mother had breast cancer. I have a friend who awaits test results right now. Another close friend just fought this battle. We all know too many people like that. Some of you may have fought through this.
The auction opens at 10:00 CST on Wednesday, February 4th! Here is the link.
I am offering this mixed media construction.
It is mounted on a 16x20 stenciled wrapped canvas so it will be very easy to hang.
The piece is made from a variety of cloth and paper which has been hand and machine stitched.
The collage is overlaid onto a piece of hand-made paper, then a piece of canvas.
I will pay the shipping cost for this piece. All you have to do is be ready to purchase it!
