Pink Artist Squares Finished!!

Yeah!!! I finished my squares for Monica (Girl Gone Thread Wild)...

This was quite a challenge for me since I work with paper to put something that is my craft onto fabric, but Monica was very encouraging and here are the fruits of my labor :-) I have a friend at work who is facing a difficult time right now and I am praying that everything works out well for her. Tina, these squares are for you!

I titled them Love and Hope. I realized early on that I could not glue the quilling to the fabric or it would certainly fall off, so I made them more like charms on a pendant and I hung them that way! I also coated them with a product called "paper glaze" to give it a glass-like appearance.


If I had started earlier, I probably would have re-done the glitter...

but such is life... I promise to do better next time.

Pink Artist Parade of Squares

This is for all those suffering from breast cancer and those who know people who are. Monica from "Girl Gone Thread Wild" I am attaching her words here, because she says it best:

"the pink artist"

is a community of artists joining together
to create one joint art doll to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
When doll is complete, it will be mailed in to Art Doll Quarterly™
before finally being auctioned off on eBay at a later date.
ALL PROCEEDS WILL DIRECTLY BENEFIT CHARITY.

Everyone is being asked to create a 2x2 inch square that must be on a cloth/fabric base because all of the squares are going to be sewn together. Click here to see the squares that she has received so far.

If you want to participate, please visit here to find out details and offer to send in your square (or squares if you have the time).

All squares have to be mailed to her by March 1st.

I hope you give this a try!
