My friend Heidi is an artist who makes jewelry and lives in New Orleans. (She wrote about the BP oil catastrophe, here.) When she heard about my leaky roof and similar worries, she made this necklace specifically to help out. It is up for auction at her website here.
My first thought upon seeing it was: SHIT! I WANT THAT! Her photos show this piece in spectacular detail.
Heidi is the best! If you know someone who would love this necklace, please send them the link.
I am working on a special Sister Wolf Memento Thing to send to all who have contributed to the SW Relief Fund. xoxo I am trying to develop other ideas like T-shirts and I welcome all fund-raising ideas from everybody. Thanks & blessings.
Oh my God, that is one beautiful necklace! I’m already a little bit jealous of whomever will end up with it – I know it’s not going to be me, sadly, because you need to raise a decent amount and not spare change which unfortunately it’s all I can afford at the moment!
Good Luck!
i think it would be cool if you made postcards with Sister Wolf-isms on them – then i could stick it on my wall and be inspired by your awesomeness. all teh best with your fund raising efforts
It is a well made piece, I must say. I hope you are doing well! I am glad to see you on Twiter, Ps.
What a gorgeous piece. I’m trying to bid on it but I think Heidi’s page is having trouble posting comments. I’ll keep trying!
I like Niki’s idea about the postcards with the isms on it!
Why don’t you dress up like Tavi, take pictures of yourself, & have THOSE printed on postcards? HA! Kidding. What’s the deal w/ the leaky roof? I’m new.
Ann, I just messed with the settings – maybe it will work now?
I love the postcard idea and I love honeypants’s necklace xx
I want that. Unfortunately I am eating saltines and ketchup for another two days, but after that I am looking forward to purchasing a Godammit t-shirt to wear with the QM liquids and the QM feather earrings.
I wish I could make something pretty for you besides some poetry that is good because it is ugly and essentially unsellable.
xoxo
My husband is a ridiculously talented graphic designer/artist ( http://www.benjaminsoto.com ) and I’m sure he could help with a t-shirt design… 😉
niki – Thank you! How nice of you!
Theresa – I wish I could buy you a nice burger and fries and a first edition you your favorite poet.
TheShoeGirl – Did I tell you that my husband is also a hot Latino?
Nicky Frye – I have my heart set on dressing up like the Gala Darling! The leaky roof is a long story that involves not having a job for the last year.
What a beautiful necklace, Honeypants, and a wonderful thing to do. I wish I wasn’t an unemployed woman so I could bid, bid, bid. I hope the winner of the auction posts a pic of themselves rocking the radness out of it.
