Some of you will remember that I posted about the Remembering Cindy Etsy shop back in October. Well, I wanted to give you an update, sent to me by Dulcey Heller, a forum friend of Cindy’s. The last of the beaded mystery panels, dolls, and other objects have been loaded into the shop. It’s come down to shop now or forever hold your peace
Cindy died in 2005 of lung cancer before being able to complete the project. Moderators of the Bead Art Forum have since completed assembling the Mystery Image Challenge. These four completed panels are now for sale in the Remembering Cindy Etsy shop. The panels, postcards, and a couple of the dolls (explained below) are already listed. There’s much more to be added, which will happen over the next three weeks or so. All profits after expenses will be donated to the American Lung Association in Cindy’s memory.
Also for sale in the shop are some of the dolls that were made for her during her battle with cancer. Her partner, John, gave them back to the Bead Art Forum for this purpose. There are also items that have been donated specifically for sale in Cindy’s memory. Those who would like their own small memory of Cindy’s Mystery Image Challenge can also purchase postcards of the four panels. Again, all profits after expenses will be donated to the American Lung Association.
Please visit the Remembering Cindy Etsy shop (she would have loved Etsy). The shop will be open through the end of 2008, closing in early 2009. Cindy is missed, and we want to help fight that disease that took her away from us, with funds from your purchases in the shop.
















Beautiful writeup, thank you!
If anyone has this book:
Exploring Beaded Art Dolls by Cindy McCornack
please contact Cindy Tipton “beadlady” if you are willing to sell it. Her son has contacted Cindy Tipton and wants a copy of the book. She is trying her best to make that happen for him. She would have gladly given him one but she sold out years ago.
