Changes coming

Stay with me here, I have made a few changes to this blog and more are coming. 

Pink Artist Block Party 2009 - Collaborative Donation

Six members of the Oh So Charming group collaborated to create a prize donation for the Pink Artist Block Party which raises money for the Komen Foundation.

Deb Bentley, Jan Hamill, Rachel McCorkle, Sandy Firestone, Suzanne Rife, and Dawn Sellers

 This is a great alternative way to display art charms when you have enough charm bracelets and necklaces.  This 4 x 4" canvas was painted and then wire wrapped with 19 gauge steel wire.  The charms were attached with jump rings to the  wire loops along the bottom.  I hope the winner of this prize enjoys!  To find out how you can win this or one of many other prizes pop on over to the Party.

 

 

Pink Artist Block Party 2009

Monica is at it again.  I participated last year in her fundraiser for Breast Cancer Research and the Susan G. Komen Foundation.  This year she is asking for artists to donate pieces of art that will be raffled off and all the money goes to the Cure.

This year, not only will I be participating as an individual, but the Oh So Charming group will also be sending in a collaborative piece of artwork as a donation.  I have put out the call to group members today, asking them to donate one charm based on the theme Pink Bling!  Once I have an idea of how many charms I'll be getting and find a little inspiration in them all, I'll be creating the final piece.   Stay tuned. 

I'll be working on my individual piece in the meantime and you can watch for any progress on my regular blog.
