Orange Fox Purple Night, Quilt Fabric Art by CCollier Studio


Orange Fox Purple Night is a one-of-a-kind artwork, designed and sewn from individual cotton pieces, like a quilt top and mounted on stretcher bars. It is 32 x 24". Piecing everything, rather then appliqueing, gives the design more depth and the dimensional quality of the seams are emphasized by the mounting. The overall design reads as a whole, but each fabric piece has an individual story, revealed as you move closer. The fabrics are mostly abstract batik and Kaffe Fassett prints. In the fox you will find flowers and frogs and mermaids. Beautiful!

Yew Wooden Ring by Inspired To Make


Yew has long been prized for its beauty and rarity, it's also durable, making it ideal for jewellery. This unique Yew ring has been turned from a tree that was estimated to be 800 years old (that hopefully fell of it's own accord!). The range of colours in the grain is fantastic from very dark brown, through orangey-gold and red brown to a deep pinky-mauve. After turning, the wood has been sanded silky smooth and then soaked in mineral oil to nourish the wood. It is finished with natural carnauba wax and buffed to a beautiful sheen.

Free Spirit by Lil Sonny Sky


'Free Spirit' is a beautiful original 3 colour screen print, hand printed using acrylic, paper and elbow grease. Hand squeegied, each one has a tiny imperfection to make it unique! Printed on Fabriano heavy weight white paper, numbered and signed by Lisa Stubbs.
Here's Lisa to explain why this print is so special, "My story's simple and fortunately for me has a happy ending. I was diagnosed with breast cancer 21st June 2011, I put on my brave face, hard hat and hob nail boots (to kick some cancer bottom) and had a mastectomy, chemo and radiotherapy. I finished my radiotherapy at the end of January and I'm now doing great! The grass is greener and the air is sweeter. Not a day goes by where I'm not grateful to be here, for my amazing family and friends and for the truly amazing and inspirational doctors and nurses who have guided me through my cancer journey with great skill and care.
So, I want help others who are undergoing cancer treatment and whose outcomes are not as positive as mine. To do this I'm taking on the 3 Volcanos challenge in September with your help and support. You can follow my progress, training and fundraising on my JustGiving page and on my blog Lil Sonny Sky.
The Yorkshire Cancer Centre at the St. James's institute of Oncology in Leeds is the biggest purpose built cancer centre in Europe. The Moneys you donate will go towards specialist equipment, research and development, patient comfort and support."
So, the bottom line, if you have any spare money at all, there are two ways you could help fight cancer and sponsor Lisa's incredible challenge…you could treat yourself to a fantastic print (only £20) or if you don't have that much you can donate any amount on Lisa's JustGiving page, no matter how small. Go on, give a quid.


I'll get down off of my soapbox now…Thank you!
