Breast Cancer Fundraising at Sixth & Elm
Fellow Etsyian, Loopy4ewe is participating in the 60km Weekend to End Breast Cancer Walk next June, and she is attempting to raise $2000 to participate. Once she let the other Etsy sellers know what she was up to, they responded en masse by donating tons of items they have made – large and small and mostly pink – and listing them for her, all proceeds to go toward her walk. She didn’t even ask for donations, but she didn’t have to.
I added my little bit by adding the most popular item I sell, the Scripted Box, stained in Antique Pink in honour of the cause. I sanded it down a bit it looks cute and vintage-y – like a little Parisian treasure. All of the money I raise from the sale of this item will go to Loopy and hopefully get her close to her goal.
Here is a list of some of the other Etsy sellers who have listed or donated items as well:
How can you help? Easy, buy something from someone on this list!
Works in Progress: Celtic Book Box and Doodle Burnings
So, with my new fancy-dancy woodburning system, I have been working on a few projects.
The box above is based off of an idea from Colin (a real, live IRISHMAN!) who suggested the offset cross.
And here is a fun thing I burned up last night:
This tree is kind of creepy, but I like it…
I still have to sand and stain them all, but they’ll be up in the shop soon.
