As I've said before, I work at a hospital. It's actually the leading medical center in the area, with a state of the art breast center, with digital mammography, holistic healing, etc. My wife is a breast cancer survivor, and I'm thankful every day for the people who saved her life. I make pink ribbons from my scrap all the time, sell them and donate the money to b.c. research. This year I thought I'd do something different, and made this purse. I've donated it to the hospital, and they're raffling it off. Nothing spectacular, just an adaptation of an old Tandy pattern, used the last of my black Pro-Dye, and pink acrylic paint. Finally, Ladies, please do your self exams and get your yearly mammo's. And Gents, please encourage your significant others to do the same. Early detection saves lives, and I'm happy for that every day.

This is one of the best ideas I've seen for a "pink ribbon"...The purse is absolutly lovely :You_Rock_Emoticon:

That is a stunning item, well done on the workmanship and generosity. Darryl

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.

Then I realised God doesn't work that way, so I stole

one and prayed for forgiveness.

Very very very cool.

I've been drawing and redrawing a design/logo for a notebook for my wife. She's been fighting it for ... coming up on 5 years now. She's on the winning side of the stick just can't seem to get it all gone. As long as she's in the air i breath , i'll take it. I rather her/us living with it then dieing from it. From all of us under this roof in Texas... Thank you !!

It takes more then one freak to have a true freakshow. So take a seat , the show is about to start.

Check out the freakSHOW

You're quite welcome, Kate. The raffle started last thursday, and by friday afternoon, the total is $455 raised. And a few job prospects, so it's win-win...lol. Freak, you're quite welcome too! The projects mean more when the motivation comes from the heart, I think. I've been knocking this idea around since LAST october, and finally got it done last wednesday. I'm amazed by the response. Give your wife an extra hug tonight, ok?

Great Stuff.

My niece has just had a double masectomy and all her other feminine bits removed. It's a pity that we could't run a raffle like this on LEATHERWORKER.NET. I would buy in - Hey Johann yet more work for you.

Well done
