Title: (Updated!)OUCH Convention donation
Post by Mosaicwench on Jan 30^th, 2009 at 2:31pm

I certainly hope there's a summer convention this year because I just finished a mosaic that I'll donate for fund-raising purposes.

No clusterball this year (needed something new). This one is based on Artonio's avatar (with his permission). Tony has that "everyman" face that I needed for my interpretation of a cluster headache.

It's 10 x 10 inches, made of stained glass, glass rods, and millefiori. There's another one in the works, but not similar.

And take this as an opportunity to ponder what YOU could donate to help OUCH raise funds.

Jeannie: It's gorgous. You may need to get really busy, either that or someone may be taking Bill out to get that one.

I have some things in the works as well, but ..... details later.

Maybe we can tape Lizzie's hands to her side and duct tape her mouth? Think that might be too obvious? ;)

Just kiddin' Lizzie dear! Where IS she, anyway?

Hold on now... it is fashioned after my ~~tortured pie hole~~ stunning classic features.... Am I going to have to mortgage something????

Really Pat... not only was this an wonderful act of generosity on your part... but it is also a stunning work of art and I was honored to have even the tiniest connection to it.

with warm regards,
Tony

Just a clarification Christy, it's NOT glass on glass window. It's completely opaque.

Pat,

I've resisted saying anything. Only because I'm jealous of your gift and talent.

My talents are in the kitchen, but this piece is wonder to behold. It's maaavelous.

<Breathe in and out>

Some people are so gifted they are worth admiration. Pat, you are one. As is Tony, your muse. He too is such a gifted artist.

Mell has her crafts gifts that are to be admired as well. JD as well, and Charollette, and....Vig, and Delta, and Marc, and so many other talents here.

Arts....they seem a theme. Be it writing, photography, 2D, 3D or other arts. Those who's lives are touched by CH find some creative venue to purge the soul of demon in their own ways.

It touches us all, sufferer and supporter alike. And the creative outlets are our responce to his venom.

Keep doing what you do Pat...and Blessed Be for all you do.

Wow Pat, that is just incredible! You are extraordinary - your talents with the glass speak for themselves, you are also very GENEROUS! You don't hesitate to make TODAY the day you choose to reach out your hand and help your fellow man - no wonder you are the incredible CH supporter you are. Don't ever change - not one thing - about yourself, you are perfect, and I am proud to know you :)

Thanks for all you do for everyone.

Wow, the recent ones are amazing.

Who won the one last year? Can you post a pic. I'm trying to picture this in a ball shape, but can't.

Do we know where the convention will be this year btw?
