Art for Cancer

I have been part of Imagekind

for a while now...but only recently did I

run across the

Art for Cancer Group.

I'm still trying to figure out how it works...

but, in the meantime I have

placed this clickable banner in my blog

so that anyone who is interested

in helping to 'fight' this terrible disease

can get a lovely piece of art

while still supporting this cause.

The fight against cancer is a personal one for me..

I spent a year going from chemotherapy treatments..to radiation treatments..

to hospital tests, visits and surgeries...

from May 2005 to June 2006.

Only recently have I learned about new procedures

that are making strides in the treatment of certain cancers..in certain patients..

the treatments are terribly expensive...therefore

only available to a select few.

I know that money is always needed for cancer research...

in order to find these new treatments...

but..I also know...from personal experience...how costly some of these

procedures..medications..etc...can be..

and I hope to be able to donate portions of all of the sales

I make through 'Art for Cancer'

for those individuals who can't afford those

procedures..medications..etc..

to do what I can so these individuals have the same chance

at these new treatments,

as those in better financial circumstance.

I thought this was Cool!

What Is Art?

I LOVE this video....I think it 'just about covers' the question! What is Art?

We've all been Soooo Busy!

Wow...I will be so glad when things begin to 'level' out a bit!

I've been taking online classes, writing articles, putting up mini-sites...NOT doing art...working on pendants, helping Jaime with correspondence...and on..and on...and ON!

Meanwhile..Jaime is, pretty much buried..just trying to keep up with her business. (I'm trying to help her get 'un-buried'.)

Patrick is about to go back to school, at the University...and there soooo much to do there!

Oh yeah...and I had my car go down..completely....as did Ryan (about a week later!)

So much DRAMA....I need Normal again!

What IS Normal..anyway???

One Man Band

I thought this cartoon was soooo appropriate. It seems like everyone is 'vying' for that single piece of gold..these days!

And the kid in this little gem...is just TOOO precious!

2009 Color of the Year

Pantone, the global authority on color
and provider of professional color standards
for the design industries,
has 'declared'
Mimosa...this rich warm golden yellow color...
to be the
2009..
color of the year!

"Best illustrated by the abundant flowers of the Mimosa tree
and the sparkle of the brilliantly hued cocktail,
the 2009 color of the year represents
the hopeful and radiant characteristics
associated with the color yellow."

Cake of 'Art'

I thought this

cake was too cool!

A 'cake of art'!

It was impressive enough

that I had to

'share'.

I found it over on

the 'Colour Lover Blog'

and

there are a bunch

of

Cake Art for you to see

over there!
