“Ties That Bind” Project update
Make Art Monday

Awhile ago, I showed you the charm that I made for a collaborative project with other mixed media artists; the finished product in the Ties That Bind project will be auctioned off to benefit ovarian cancer research. The handmade doll that is being constructed will have decorated ties around her waist to form a skirt, and many charms all around the bodice.
Our mission is simple in concept. Artists united in their creativity to benefit Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. Our project: Ties That Bind. A hand made doll created with heart and soul, donning hand embellished men’s dress ties and hand born charms. 100% of the profit goes to the OCRF, in support of their mission to help ovarian cancer patients and their loved ones.
I wanted to show you some of the ties that have been coming in. They are going to make one amazing art doll!
