Hearts for Haiti!! Yay!!
6:14 PMHere is most of the original post (edited for clarity):
While Chris and I were having breakfast this morning, I was telling him about the suggestions everyone was making to help the heart piece along. He commented that it would be cool if everyone created a heart and then I Photoshopped them together…………
So what do you think?!! Everyone creates a heart in an ACEO size (2.5" x 3.5" or 3.5 x 2.5"), emails me a high-res jpg, and I put together some type of design with them which we'll vote on. Perhaps the final could be a print of the collage and/or a t-shirt design and/or something else (open to ideas) with proceeds going to a charity of everyone's choice to help those in Haiti. The original pieces of art could also be auctioned off! Open to ideas and thoughts on this! The art can be any medium. As long as it contains a heart in it somewhere it can be included.
Let me know your thoughts and if you're interested in joining in - leave your name in the comments. When you email me your art, just send it to ArtHearts (at) gmail.com! Replace the (at) with the @ sign. I'm going to set a deadline of midnight, Friday, January 29th, to get the art to me! Please send this out to anyone you think would be interested in contributing.

ReplyDeleteHi Laure came to you via Margaret Anne Storer-Roche (of waterblossoms. blogspot fame). This is a great opportunity for me to create my first ACEO for years and years - so yes I am committed but just hope it turns out worthwhile for your cause at this tiny size. Well done for organizing.
ReplyDeleteWonderful idea. Thanks for coming up with one more way to give to Haiti. I'll get my heart to you right away.
ReplyDeleteI made my heart...take it from my blog http://lynn-nonameblog.blogspot.com

How nice to find you through Studio Lolo. I've sent you a heart.
ReplyDeleteHi. I heard about this from several of the bloggers, and sat down and just started to make my ATC...I hope it will qualify...it is not one big heart, but has many small ones within a BIRD. I will send it to you in a few minutes...gotta switch computers right quick! Thanks for doing this!!!

ReplyDeleteThank you, Annie!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Julie, it's wonderful!
Hi, Laurie, thank you for your help!
Excellent, Elizabeth, thanks for joining us!
Yay, Kathy, Thank you!!
Sending my ArtHeart today... depicts the Hybiscus, National Flower of Haiti, much beloved for its healing properties. I loved this project - Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI just heard of this from Red and the Peanut's blog. My daughter-in-law is Haitian and has family members there. If I can get something painted in time I will send it to you. What a great idea! My biggest concern is what charity the money would go to. I would want to be careful that it is well established in Haiti and that the money would actually go there. Trish sent me some links to a couple that she has checked out if you would like to know what they are.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Phyllis, I look forward to it!
ReplyDeleteHi, Kathie, so glad you found us! Please send me the links as that is something I've been concerned about as well as there are a lot of scams.
This is a beautiful idea.
ReplyDeleteI just did one too. Now to figure out how to send it. let me know it got there when I do. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sandy!
ReplyDeleteAnd, Cris, I just got your card - it's so sweet! Thank you!
Count me in Laure!
ReplyDeleteI'm in - great idea Laure.
ReplyDeleteI'm in. Is there a deadline. I do well with deadlines.
ReplyDeleteOr I could just do it now. THAT would be simpler!
Donna

ReplyDeleteGreat idea, Laure!
This is a lovely idea, I am going to do my best to get something to you by Friday. I am in the UK so will have to work out the time difference with you - just in case I am pushing it fine with time! Having said that, we are ahead of you time-wise, so I really should have no excuse. Thank you for setting this up!
ReplyDeleteThis is so great Laure! I've been wanting to help in some way. I will have a design to you on or before the 29th. Thanks so much for having a big heart and coming up with this idea.
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Laure. I'm in if I can get this image to you! I'll post it on my blog/facebook, too. Thanks! Lovely thought.
