wire wrapping and potato stamping 4 Haiti

I mentioned before that there is an amazing music + art benefit planned on Friday at Sally Loo's. We are so wrapped up in our own little padded world sometimes that the pain and suffering that is happening elsewhere goes unnoticed . What do we have to deal with in southern California? A little rain? Too much traffic? It is impossible for me to imagine what life in Haiti is really like right now. I can't fathom what it is like to lose a parent, an entire family, an ENTIRE community! But I know they need help, and they need a lot of it. Let's do what we can while we can. Visit here for more info! Below are a few pics of what I've been working on for the event!

my printing medium: a potato

3 small potatoes turn into 3 important words

potato print (left), apple print (right), sweet potato print (back)

handmade button rings

made with love (along with my dear becca)
and lots more where those came from!
100% profit --> straight to Haiti
