The 365 Flowers Project

 

I was just given the information for this project.

Artist are raising money for fire departments in Colorado

where some of the worst wild fires occurred this summer.

 

Charcoal is being collected from the burn sites and mailed to artist.

Artist then make a piece of artwork, mail the artwork back to CO.

by September 30th. Oct 7-14 an online action will be held.

All proceeds from the art sale will be given to the fire department.

 

I found the project via Face Book, their page is

Ashes to Art Project.....look for the "about" button,

 all the project details are there.

 

email-  theashestoartproject@gmail.com

 

Also Google the project for more info.

 

September 30th is not that far away.

I plan to take a photo of mine and turn it into black and white.

I'm a color person and I hope the black and white

photo helps me navigate an image.

Then again, who said what I make has to be only

done with charcoal....

 

If  you don't care to make art for the project you can donate,

now I wait for the charcoal to land in my mailbox.
