Pink Artist Drawing....raising funds for cancer research

it is finally here!
LOVE SQUARED
is in the August 1st, 2008
issue of
ART DOLL QUARTERLY
which hits the stands today!




Her name is "Love Squared."
She wears 180 two inch art squares.
182 artists total created her.
She is just under 40" tall
and weighs 6 pounds and 2 ounces.
She smiles because already she knows love
and is able to give love unconditionally.
To many, she is a symbol of hope.
She stands for COURAGE and was built
by a community of givers
and displays that spirit of connectedness
to end breast cancer for good~


and today starts the beginning of the Pink Artist Drawing


FYI: For those of you just learning about our drawing,
it was voted to offer our doll as a gift in a drawing as
opposed to using ebay.
This method allows for more participation,
raising possibly more funds for charity due to a greater wider audience,
and offers a FUN environment for giving,
because for every $10 donation,
your collected name will go into the drawing twice for
Love Squared
and the "runner up" gifts

On April 1, 2008 our pink artist doll was completed holding 180 artist squares and taking 182 artists TOTAL to complete her.

On April 7, 2008 our doll was shipped in for a photo shoot with Art Doll Quarterly™ to be featured in an upcoming AUTUMN issue available August 1, 2008.

The response from their office being, "She is ever so much more impressive in real life.. It’s a gorgeous piece of work and everyone here was very impressed. Thanks for sending her!"


please go to monica's blog for information on making a donation.
there you will discover a feast for the eyes
& a chance to WIN
Love Squared,
created by The Pink Artists, 182 artists from all over the world
coming together to raise awareness &
donations for breast cancer research.

also check out the wonderful donated art from gifted artists
for the runner up gifts.

She really IS beautiful! How exciting and special for you to have been a part of her. :)
My ming is still stuck on the "sending her in" part. I can't imagine how scarey it was to part with that doll and send her away somewhere.....Glad she came back safely!! :)

THanks for stopping by my blog and the birthday wishes to my grandson! He is the apple of my eye.

This doll turned out so beautiful.

I am not sure but I think I participated in this. It has been awhile and I am not sure if it was this or another doll but the dress was to be made from collage squares. Guess I will have to get the magazine and see if there is a familiar collage on her dress huh?

God Bless You
This is such a wonderful contribution to breast cancer research.
