Reminiscing - The Joys of The Art Bra Movement

I had the pleasure of chatting with a super lady at a family gathering this Saturday.  In the course of our discussion, the subject of charitable work came up and I would be remiss had I not mentioned the Art Bra movement and the wonderful artists who contributed to our calendars and yearly quilts.  When I was asked as to whether there were pictures on the internet, well, of course there are.  However, I got to thinking about those wonderful projects and decided to resurrect a few sites for old times sake. 

Victoria Adams Brown's Flickr site has some of those terrific art bras plus some of the crazy quilts we put together.

And one of my personal favourites & I think the one I had the most pleasure making:

We had a wonderful time creating all those amazing art pieces and the comraderie we shared and the encouragement we gave one another is most memorable.  I am proud of the groundwork we laid for others to take up the gauntlet and make their own significant contributions to the ongoing fight against breast cancer.
