Window of Hope-Bottle of Hope - Designed by: Donna Budzynski
|
This month Makin’s Clay® asked
us to create a Bottle of Hope. If you know anyone who has had,
fought, is fighting, or has died from cancer than you know even if there is just a
window of Hope, you take it!
That is how I decided to
create my Bottle of Hope.
Note - Here is a bit more information about what Bottles of Hope are - Makin's Clay® is proud to have our designers supporting this worthy effort through the creation of Bottles of Hope featuring Makin's Clay®.
Bottles of Hope are small glass bottles covered with polymer clay and given to cancer patients. They symbolize a wish and a hope for health. This project was started in 1999 by a Rhode Island cancer survivor and has spread internationally. Bottles are made by artists, students, survivors, seniors and many more who volunteer their time and love. Learn more about this worthwhile project, see a gallery of many creative bottles and more here on their website.
