Pink Purl: For Japan

March 28, 2011

For Japan

This week I happily join the ranks of other artisans & crafts people in creating to help raise funds for Japan! Last week I made two very special items, which are now available in my new Etsy shop, PranaLight.

LOVE... I used lovely rose quartz--the love stone--for this hand knotted and be-tasseled mala/prayer beads. You can find details & more photos here: Rose Quartz Mala.

PEACE... One of my embroidered & embellished Love Flags with an uplifting message of peace. More photos & details here: PEACE Love Flag. ** NOTE: The PEACE Love Flag is now SOLD... Many, many thanks, Yiota! :o) **

100% of the profits of these items I will donate to the Red Cross for the earthquake aid efforts for Japan.

I have a lot of irons in the fire at the moment, my studio is bursting with projects & creative energy! Thinking of ways to help others... peace & love with every step...

With Love,

What a wonderful donation to such a worthy cause, Tracy. I love that you created prayer beads to benefit a country that is so very in need of prayer.

Hello dear Tracy. I love your heart of mercy. I was just thinking about the two beautiful pieces of jewelry I have from you.

Tracy, they are beautiful!!! I'm so happy to hear that you are full of creative energy and in deed I can sense it from your words :-) wonderful! I think so many of us have been touched by the tragedy of Japan that we want to help as much (or in ways) as we can. Sending lots of love!

I'm mad for Rose Quartz. I have so many of them in big, small and one as an Angel. They are full of love and sunshine.
You two hour Tuesday time is a fantastic way to be and recharge. Calling it Aphrodite time is wonderful. I'm sure she love that too.

You made such wonderful and generous gifts in Japan's remembrance, Tracy. The Red Cross is my favorite charity to donate to as they help worldwide.
Hugs, Pat
