Felix Schlesinger's "A Friend In Need" 1867
I went to work today on my donation. I made a small trio of nesting boxes. I have "themed" them Faith, Hope, Optimism and Joy.
I'm also going to donate a "custom" cigar box. I just couldn't decide how to decorate it and so I will leave it up to the "winner" to decide. I can do a theme of Christmas, Children, Angels, Spring, Flowers, Religious or Easter. It will be fun to make one (or more) "to order." (This is the first one I made for myself.)I hope the auction helps. Oh, and you don't have to be a blogger to donate or bid! So, let's have fun for a good cause.

thank you so much for posting about the auction!
These are really wonderful, and what a lovely reason to create art! The colors are healing and full of life Rosa!
These are all wonderful! You're so creative and no doubt many people will be bidding on your lovely work. As for what you said about the fabric, there is a William Morris fabric up for the same auction, but not the one you want. :) I like your idea about a screen. I already have a framed Liberty scarf in a similar pattern, so maybe the screen is the way to go. I'll keep you posted. :)
Looking forward to this. . .hope I'm at my desk when this happens.
Have a blessed Sunday.
It certainly sounds like it will be great fun and you can be sure I will be doing some bidding:-) xoxo

Your boxes are wonderful Rosa. It is kind of you to donate them. I will head over to the auction site and see what's going on there now.

The Painting "A Friend in Need" you have showing here on the site. I actually have the oil painting from Felix Scheslinger. I am having it appraised this weekend, cleaned and insured. Was wondering if there was any interest in it.
