PCAGOE Monthly Challenge Entry for May


Every month PCAGOE (Polymer Clay Artists Group of Etsy) posts a monthly challenge for all its members. This month's challenge was to create a piece using polymer clay and mixed media. My entry was a tin embellished with a black Pomeranian pup, glass beads, sterling silver beads, crystals and fibers.

April Charity - Anti Cruelty Society of Chicago

I'm happy to say that in April I donated 10% to one of my favorite no-kill animal charities in the Chicago area. I donate 10% of all my sales each month to either the Anti-Cruelty Society or Illinois Doberman Rescue.

Dobermans have always been a favorite breed for me. I first was introduced to them on my 21st birthday. I received one as a birthday present and fell in love instantly. They are a very misunderstood breed and are warm and loving creatures. They have been part of my life now for many years and wouldn't be without at least one.

I started to get involved with the Anti-Cruelty Society first by volunteering and then by donating. It is a wonderful organization full of caring people who do wonderful things for animals.

I'm hoping that I can help in my small way our four-legged friends who bring such happiness into our lives.
