In Support of my sisters struggle with Breast Cancer

This subject  is close to my heart so when I made three Christmas ornaments

for my Sister that resemble the breast cancer awareness ribbon as a birthday gift yesterday. I know this is something I could do to help. My sister found out in July about her up coming (now on going) struggle with breast cancer. It was because of this I decided to make the first three ornaments as a gift for her.

As I was form folding the reclaimed copper I stated to think of the interesting symbolism in these ornament. First they are made from copper scrap that Nielco Roofing would have otherwise just recycled. I purchase the scrap copper from them and up cycle it into art. In this case I made the breast cancer  ribbon. This is not like the emotional struggle I have watched her going through but after all of the self pain she will end up shining and beautiful as ever knowing she beat something very difficult! It is like the mythological Phoenix rising from the ashes of the fire.  It is hard to see in these pictures but I was able to get the copper to have some shimmers of pink to make the feeling complete

I will be selling these through Christmas on my Etsy Site and will donate a total of 50% of the purchase price to Breast Cancer 25% will be in the name of my sister and 25% will be in the name of who ever you designate (send me an email letting me know who you want me to name for the donation, if you don’t have anyone I will do that 25% in the name of my sister.) I will send you a copy of the receipt along with your order so you can see that the donation was made.
