Commissions Against Cancer

Recommended Posts

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

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.

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!

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

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 smile.gif

 

Good luck!

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. ^^;;

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. biggrin.gif

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!

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 xd.png

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! biggrin.gif

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. smile.gif
