Foto/Fiber 2012 and ACS fundraiser

Once again Virginia Spiegel is working her magic. 

She makes the world a better place. I'm so honored to be part of her project to raise funds for the American Cancer Sociery.

How Does Foto/Fiber 2012 Work? 90 Photos AND 90 BONUS Fiber Surprises Beauty and Mystery Unite to Fight Cancer 1. Ninety beautiful and inspiring photos by Virginia A. Spiegel Hope is the winged bird(with apologies to Emily Dickinson) All photos are 7x5" and mounted to archival acid-free 1/8" foam board. Each is matted with an archival mat to 10x8." Each photo is titled/signed by me and packaged in a clear envelope. Only three of each photo will be available. I do not plan to offer my photos for sale online so this is a one-off opportunity. All photos will be available for preview no later than February 14, but I will be featuring photos on my blog and here periodically. 2. Ninety BONUS Fiber Surprises from an amazing team of fiber artistsAll BONUS Fiber Surprises will be mailed directly to you by their creators in a Size 0 (6x9") bubble envelope mailer. This is the size in which a CD fits nicely. Each artist will be donating from one to three BONUS Fiber Surprises. I asked the donors to make the BONUSES wonderfully wonderful, creative, and unique. You might receive a small work of art, handpainted or dyed fabric, screen printed Lutradur, vintage kimono scraps, a small original screen for printing, dyed embroidery thread, a small bundle of "magical" raw materials, etc., etc. Check out the list of generous artists (links are to their websites/blogs); you know your BONUS will be just that: Natalya Aikens Frances Holliday Alford Pamela Allen Sue Bleiweiss Nancy G. Cook Jane Davila Vivika DeNegre Diane Rusin Doran Jane Dunnewold Jamie Fingal Leonie Hartley Hoover Leslie Tucker Jenison Lyric Kinard Susan Brubaker Knapp Lynn Krawzcyk Jane LaFazio Susan Lenz Jeanelle McCall Linda Teddlie Minton Karen Musgrave Gail Myrhorodsky Karen Stiehl Osborn BJ Parady Cate Coulacos Prato Yvonne Porcella  Wen Redmond Sue Reno Susan SchrottCynthia St. Charles Lura Schwarz Smith Sarah Ann Smith Terri Stegmiller Mary Ann Van Soest 3.
