A bit ago a member of our street team
Clickscalearts proposed an idea to our street team , the
etsy bead weavers: to participate in the beaders against breast cancer fundraiser.
For the past few years Jeanette Shanigan has been collecting squares from beaders who donated their time and talent, and then assembled them into quilts, which she then puts in shadow boxex and donates to the bead and button show to be auctioned off. One hundred percent of the proceeds go to the Medical College of Wisconsin Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
Every year there is a theme. This year's is "Bead artist's have a heart to take on breast cancer."
Previous themes have been a
rose them and a
butterfly theme.
Over 25 members of our team have decided to particpate in this.
You can read the article the
Storque talks about us if you so desire, and in the
bead and button blog.Above is my contribution. It may sound funny to some who have woven in peyote for years , but this was actually a bit of a stretch for me. I have hardly touched the stitch, so I was very pleased with the outcome.
