Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) First of all, long time no see everyone! It's been a while and I'm still trying to get back into the site again... it may or may not work, but let's see! Second of all, sorry if this doesn't belong here, it didn't really fit under Original Works to me, but if it is better fit there please move it <3 Lastly, I have come here today to tell you about a great cause run none other by me! For my English project this year we have to "Change the World." It is a HUGE summative grade (60%) project in which we have to go try to make a difference on the world, or at least someone's world. have created a webpage called Commissions Against Cancer. Here, you can commission an artist, the artists draw for free, to receive artwork. All money is donated to the program to purchase art supplies to give gift packages to cancer patients at the Massey Cancer center. We aren't allowed to just collect money and donate it, we have to collect money to buy something to donate. We have many different volunteer artists from around the globe who have all different styles and skill levels. Some, like myself, will even create handmade pieces that can be shipped to your home (hand-made dragon eggs anyone?) Feel free to ask me any questions here, but even if you can't donate or volunteer your time... please spread the word! Tell your friends and family, tell your school... tell anyone really! You can click the following link to take you to the website as well as direct others to the link. bit.ly/DrawTheCure Once I can, I'll put some pretty images on here to decorate and everything <3 Edited March 7, 2017 by Clya Share this post Link to post

Posted March 8, 2017 this is such an amazing thing to do !! i wish i could commission / donate art but i'll be travelling during most of this event ; ( still, best wishes! just wanted to drop by and say this is really lovely. <3 Share this post Link to post
Posted March 8, 2017 haha, okay, I actually wanted to reconfirm. sent in a request to help out. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 9, 2017 I'll gather up a few portfolio pieces and submit to your cause! One suggestion: It would be helpful to see a progress bar with how much money you've raised so far. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 9, 2017 Mage, thanks to your suggestions, I've now added a donation progress bar at the top of the website on the home page (right under the title). So far, we've raised 55 dollars and just over 1/4 of the way to our goal! Share this post Link to post
Posted March 10, 2017 We've raised 60 dollars so far and I'm excited! I'm really hoping that someone will order a Dragon Egg as I love to make them, but I'm hoping even more for us to get 300 visitors to the site! We are currently at 244 <3 Share this post Link to post
Posted March 11, 2017 One of my friends is a *huge* dragon fanatic, so I sent the link his way and told him about your handmade dragon eggs. The examples look great, so I'm hoping he'll order one soon Good luck! Share this post Link to post
Posted March 11, 2017 If I order a dragon egg, do I have to get it shipped to me or could I just let you keep it and give it away to someone? =p I'm moving a lot and in temp housing, so I'm trying not to accumulate too much new stuff. ^^;; Share this post Link to post
Posted March 11, 2017 You could do whatever you want Sock Honestly you could even have me ship it to someone else as a gift or whatever... your order, your rules! Share this post Link to post
Posted March 12, 2017 Requests have slowed and I'm looking at my goal and getting a little nervous... spread the word and let others know! <3 <3 Share this post Link to post
Posted March 12, 2017 If someone whips together a quick badge for this, I'll put it in my sig. :3 Share this post Link to post
Posted March 13, 2017 Hi Clya, What a good thing you are doing! It must be terrible to be confined to a hospital without something wonderful (like art supplies) to keep your mind off your troubles. I've sent you a few dollars to buy and ship an egg and a few dollars more just as a donation. I hope it helps you reach your goal. Share this post Link to post

I will be shipping it tomorrow!) Edited March 16, 2017 by Clya Share this post Link to post
Posted March 17, 2017 Also just wanted to mention, the website hasn't been updated yet as the order hasn't been confirmed yet, but we've raised 102 dollars! We have a stall in visitors to the website, so spread the word! Share this post Link to post
Posted March 20, 2017 This Saturday is the last day everyone! Already some of the artists have completed commissions and are getting ready for more to come in <3 Share this post Link to post
Posted March 23, 2017 I just want to let you know that my egg arrived today and I am SO very happy with it. It's much heavier than I expected and, well, it's absolutely beautiful! I found a red screw on bottle cap from a half gallon milk jug and it works well as a little stand for it. Thank you so much for helping those who need it as well as for providing me with a wonderful new knick-knack for my curio cabinet! Share this post Link to post
Posted March 23, 2017 I'm so glad you like it Stormcaller! It was such a joy to make! --------- Saturday is the last day folks! Even if you can't buy anything you can still spread the word! <3 Share this post Link to post
Posted March 24, 2017 I've just donated/commissioned some art Clya, this is a wonderful idea and you are so close to your goal!! If you end up keeping this as an ongoing fundraiser, I'd love to participate by both commissioning and even donating some art down the line when I'm less busy Share this post Link to post
Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) Here's a picture of my new egg so everyone can see how nice it is. The way the light is hitting it makes it hard to see that it's covered with gold sparkles, but you can see them toward the bottom. Red dragons are among my old favorites and I'm sure there's one in there! Edited March 24, 2017 by Stormcaller Share this post Link to post
Posted March 24, 2017 Congrats on getting over goal! That's so great. It looks like someone advertised somewhere that drew in a new crowd. :> Share this post Link to post
Posted March 25, 2017 (edited) https://i.imgur.com/UZdrDXs.jpg https://i.imgur.com/cAUdP7x.jpg We went out and spent 179 dollars today and we still have 100 left to go out and spend tomorrow! We bought mostly clearance items and if it wasn't on clearance, we made sure we had at least one coupon to use! Tomorrow is the last "official" day, but we will accept payments until Tuesday since most people get paid on Mondays. Edited March 25, 2017 by Clya Share this post Link to post
