WillowsEdge Silk Scarf Workshop

Here are some images from our silk scarf workshop. It took place on three separate evenings. We spent about two hours each evening to complete the scarves. Everyone enjoyed themselves and were successful at making beautiful scarves! The participants were excited to see that they did not have to be "artists" to make their scarves look great. We will be holding another workshop soon due to overwhelming interest. A special thanks to artist/ art educator, Linda Dzurka, for her expertise in coordinating and running the workshop. Check the website www.willowsedge.net or blog for more information and sign up early!

Joshua is Home!!

Thank you again to all who donated to help the Warner's bring Joshua home.  He is now safe and sound with his family.  Check out the Warner's blog www.buildingourvillage.blogspot.com for more updates.

The Warner's Officially Adopted Joshua!

The Warner's have officially adopted Joshua and should be returning to the US in a week.  Thank you again to all who purchased a print or donated to the Warner Fundraiser.  This would not have been possible without your support!  Check back in a couple of weeks to see pictures of Joshua at his new home in Bay City.

The Warner's are on Their Way!!

The Warners are on their way to pick up Joshua! Between the art fundraiser and donations, they are only $1500 short of being fully funded.  The $1500 is what they need to pay for their flights back from Eastern Europe.  Jacob's art can still be purchased and donations can still be accepted while they are in Europe for the next 3 weeks (June 14 - July 3) to help pay for their flight back.  Thank you to all who purchased Jacob's art or donated through WillowsEdge! The Warner's would not have been able to bring home Joshua without your help.

Read about the art fundraiser for the Warner family in the Oakland Press.  The Warner's are in the process of adopting a boy with Down's syndrome from overseas and need help raising money to pay for his high adoption costs.  We are selling prints of his brother's artwork, Jacob, age 2, who also has Down's sydrome.  The print includes a section from the Down syndrome Creed and comes in two different styles.  You can also make a donation through Paypal or by sending a check or money order.  Go to www.WillowsEdge.net to get more information.  Visit the Current Art Fundraiser section and our Online Store.
