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!

Stay tuned! I’ll share more updates as they become available.
It’ll be interesting to see the whole doll done.
I really can’t imagine what it will look like, but the colors are going to be wonderful
Fantastic peek at the “ties”, I cant wait to see what else emerges.
How wonderful Cyndi. Thank you for the sneak preview.
I’m really excited by how many contributions are coming in for this project!
Can’t wait to see it!
