WARM UP ZUMBA at CANWALK 24 held in Kanteerava Stadium, Bengaluru to create awareness about early detection of cancer.
I've been posting dark shots, lately. Let's pick it up a bit!
This is from a recent client-shoot: Shannon Gerard, Toronto's most delightful comic and book artist (in my humble opinion) had an installation at CanZine (at the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto) to promote her most recent project, called 'Boobs and Dinks."
I hope this doesn't offend anyone, but it's a wonderful and inspiring project: Shannon crochets little… well, bodyparts… and puts a little lump in them, and has also developed artists books that accompany these crocheted items. The books teach in plain and even fun, natural, casual and silly language, how to examine these parts in order to find the lump. It's a difficult project to describe, but very positive and preventative. it instructs, but it doesn't feel 'educational' in the annoying way that typical leaflets would.
I'm proud to have been involved in the project, even just in this post-development sort of a way! In this image, Shannon feverishly tries to finish crocheting finger-puppets for the event, before everything gets started.

My concept for this bottle of hope was based upon the desire to give a bottle that illustrates being filled with love and hope, not empty. But how to decorate the outside of the bottle to allow for the hope inside to show through? This problem was solved by covering part of the bottle with translucent liquid polymer with inclusions of embossing powder, to create a translucent but colored layer. Part of the bottle was left naked to create a window to see the inside clearly. The heart on the top of the lid is embossed on both sides with the word hope and is attached securely to the lid with a screw. And the "hope" that is inside consists of many tiny polymer hearts of gold, one sapphire blue and one burgundy heart (to match the colors on the exterior). It was my original intention that the owner could make a wish on each heart, or share the tiny hearts with anyone she wants to give a little love. The bottle is tiny, measuring in at 3" tall and about 1" wide, the hearts inside the bottle are about 1/4" wide at the widest point and 1/4" long.

But how to decorate the outside of the bottle to allow for the hope inside to show through? This problem was solved by covering part of the bottle with translucent liquid polymer with inclusions of embossing powder, to create a translucent but colored layer. Part of the bottle was left naked, in the shape of a heart on 2 opposing sides, to create a window to see the inside clearly. The spiral lentil bead on the top of the lid is attached securely to the lid with a screw. And the "hope" that is inside consists of many tiny polymer hearts and spirals in glittery white. It was my original intention that the owner could make a wish on each heart and spiral, or share the tiny tokens with anyone she wants to give a little love or hope. The bottle is tiny, measuring in at 3" tall and about 1" wide at the widest point, the hearts and spirals inside the bottle are about 1/4" wide and 1/4" long.

ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN
During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces, in the US and around the world. With their Mo’s, these men raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men.
My wife has breast cancer
She found a lump on her own at the end of May, just after her 32nd birthday. On June 10 the biopsy result came back positive.
The past 5.5 weeks have been a total blur filled with doctor appointments, tests, insurance issues, etc... all leading up to the surgery she had this past Friday. But most importantly, it's been filled with support and love from family and friends. Getting through all of this without them would be impossible.
Don't think for a minute that breast cancer has something to do with age. Breast cancer does not believe in age discrimination. Ladies, please do your self checks. Men, tell the ladies in your life to do their self checks.
Why? You can catch it early, like Melanie did. The doctor who did her yearly exam in March missed it... if Melanie didn't bother doing her self checks, she very likely wouldn't have known until next years doctor exam.
Check Yourself!
Melanie is going to be journaling her experience on her web site: www.melaniebernhart.com
A friend of ours made this graphic just for her, after he found out about her cancer.

A friend of the family's niece has been diagnosed with Leukemia. My mom asked me to design a support bracelet for her mom. It took me a long time to find non-Swarovski beads in orange that I liked. I found something else I could have used, but I am glad I waited just a litle while longer because these beads, although just faceted glass are very pretty and seem to glow on their own with very little help from me and cs3. :) I did use some Swarovski fire opals I had left over from another project as enhancements. They added just the right touch.
