The Painted Bra Art Project is to raise awareness for breast cancer. Breast Cancer awareness month is October. The purpose of the FB page is encourage artists to paint a bra. We will use the FB page to display the painted bras and possibly create an auction during October and donate the money to the American Cancer Society. Please email a picture of your painted bra to annabraden@comcast.net by 6 September 2011 or sooner. That will allow enough time to get all the pictures loaded and several weeks to promote our exhibit. Thanks and have fun painting bras!!
My sister Jamie is a breast cancer survivor , Yay! So you know I jumped all over this little project. So... Much... Fun...! Very tough to paint on a bra though. I didn't have any kind of manikin or seamstress dummy thing to place the bra on while painting. I had a box. Ya, that's right, a box. So. I stretched that bra around the box and said, " Hmmmm, just what do I see? " Then I knew, Freedom from cancer represented by a butterfly! Just as the butterfly struggles and transforms itself from the chrysalis only to burst free, so to is our greatest hope for the cancer patient to unfurl their wings and be free from cancer too. One way or the other, our women folk do become free and fly from those strangleholds of cancer. Either to fly home with the angels or to our earth homes and continue with the message to all her sisters that this disease can be beat.
So this little project is to help carry the message for our sisters and raise some funds too.
