As part of the Atlanta Breast Cancer Challenge put forth by It’s the Journey, Inc., I made a piece for Brazenly Radiant Art (BRA) sponsored by Fiber On A Whim. It will be auctioned on the Fiber On A Whim website starting June 15, 2008.
I have really debated what to call the piece. I love some of the slogans out there like “save the ta-ta’s” — but then I also read some really heartfelt responses by breast cancer survivors to these campaigns — and I can understand their hurt after mastectomy. I think I’ll call it “Breast Armour” — which is a big name for a small piece — it’s only 5″ x 7″. I may change my mind.

That’s an awesome name! When I read it, it gave me a warm feeling in my chest(lol). It seems to symbolize a couple of different things (to me anyway)…armour being the “suit” that saves our skin from damage the world inflicts, that the disease inflicts, but also how, in making the piece, you have wrapped your own armor around all the victims, the survivors of breast cancer. Hmmm…I really didn’t mean to write all that, it just came out.So I’ll leave it. And thanks for the tip on pfd , I’m going to try that!
