After a long time of searching I found it!

I was unaware that Ebay had a policy about listing charitable auctions.
Well, after some digging and searching during my free time, I found this link-
CLICK HERE IF YOU ARE ALREADY A SELLER & WISH TO RAISE FUNDS ON EBAY FOR CHARITY

I hope to post a few more of our THINK PINK charm beauties this week, time permitting.

The first listing was sold for $46.00!
That is the necklace/bracelet shown below.
It was purchased from a woman who works in China.
This was my first time shipping there and it was actually quite interesting.
So, for those who's work was used on that piece, you can tell your friends and family, "My art is in China."
I personally get a kick from it because a LOT of what I grew up with was and is made IN China!
*Smiles*

OK, so I am now going back to Ebay to do some more research on listing.
I will keep you all informed!
Have a great week!

Patricia Winter- A miniature crazy quilt, hand stitched, and florally embroidered with her very own beautiful and rich hand dyed silk ribbon. The image she used is a child with lovely glittered fairy,wings.The embellishments in this piece include some of the smallest pink seed beads you might ever see in your life along with an adorable flower sequin. Pat added a small metal charm whic says "Imagine" to the lower right hand side, and that is wired with a pink and red glass flower bead and topped with small seed beads.

Monica Magness- A miniature faux canvas featuring a bare chested diva striking a shy pose. Monica added very small text onto the bottom of this charm with a tiffany set chaton rose rhinestone capping it off. One of the words on this piece is "Imagine". The sides are sparkling with glitter and the piece is glazed nice and shiny!

And-

Michelle Walker- A dazzling holographic pink drop with faceted beads nestled within. When the light hits it, it really shines a lot. Michelle painted the glitter mixture on the larger bead herself.

The body of the necklace is made of a velvety ribbon which has been doubled up so that the back sode which touches the skin is also velvety soft.

There is a length of pink lace trim sewn on for added texture. 2 matching thread appliques are added along with Swarovski crystal center.

There are 22 tiny pink floral sequins mounted onto a deeper pink metallic round faceted sequins sewn along the edge. Each one is topped of with a real silver plated glass faceted bead.
The two silver and pink rhinestone end beads were donated by Orla Swift.

The chain used is not real silver, but is silver tone and a barrel clasp completes the chain.

There are a few more not yet made into a finished piece, but I will be working on that throughout the month.
I will be posting them one at a time on Ebay!

Payment will be requested in the form of a money order written out to the Susan G Komen foundation. S/H will be required separately in either stamps, cash or Paypal payments.
Sorry NO checks.

Credit card payments through Paypal will only be accepted if the winner of the auctions will add in extra money to cover the fees so that the donation amount is not lowered once Paypal takes a cut.

linked together

Hi!
OK-I am a bit sleepy but promised that I would post pictures this weekend!
These are some REALLY wonderful gifts for the lucky winner!










Well, before the swap started, I had plans of sewing the charms to a fat wrist cuff.


But due to the fact that so many fabulous charms arrived, and the heaviness of them all together- I just linked them all on a chain. It is a bit heavy, so whomever gets this piece, might like to break up the pieces a bit and spread them out to other bracelets or chains.

There are a couple of charms that were used to make a pin and earrings and a necklace to go along with this bracelet as a prize for Monica Magness's project.
For instance, this is a charm made into a necklace by Pat Winter!
The fabric piece is a choker/bracelet.
The winner of the auction will be able to decide if they prefer it to be a bracelet or a neck piece.
I am going to add crystal rhinestones to the lace.

This will be auctioned off on Ebay, along with other charm jewelry made from the THINK PINK Exchange.

Amber & Erica's Think Pinks-

I am continuing my work on assembling a suite of jewelry for our fundraiser.
Due to the high volume of charms sent in and several of them fit as a focal piece, we have WAY more than I planned for.
So I am making sets of earrings, bracelets and necklaces with all of the charms!

What a great deal of kindness and care that has been shared among us!
Thank you all again!
SO much to add love to!
:o)

Amber


Party favor baby bottles make fun charms!
The above piece will be finished with a flatback Swarovski in the center of the flower.


The above heart was made for Pat Winter.



Erica Faith- Who will be uploading a small tutorial to her blog one of these days of the above charm turned 14 yesterday.
Thank you for joining us Erica!
