Description
While required to spend weeks in bed for an extended illness, I was bored with reading.. TV was worse. that I entertained myself by thinking of things to paint ... then, I use my bedside reference library (laughing-- I had 3 antique "cyclopedias" propped on the lamp table) and I'd try to find a page with a related subject, In this case, "Chilies," slice out the page of my hundred-year-old, bedraggled treasure, and try to give it new life : ))
This became the means to keep me still for hours. It gave me ideas for using these beautiful old books to raise funds for special projects for children and those in need here in the Palm Springs Area. Now that I am better, I am putting the FUNdraisers together and having so much fun myself.

Cindy, I thank you for taking the time to read the description... we have raised well over $9000 over the last 3 years in doing small fund-raising workshops where 95% goes to the charity. If we don't provide frames, then it is 100%. I know it isn't large amounts but each workshop ignites the idea of giving and ... creating.. and I only have 4 books left.

Maria, glad that you are recovered, but it gave you an opportunity to come up with a wonderful idea that you might not have come up with otherwise. This is beautiful along with your idea. May God bless in your fundraising effort. f/l

I absolutely love the design of this work. It made me think of my mother who could pop a couple hot peppers in her mouth and not run screaming. :-) Amazing work! L/F

That is a fun catch, Karin.... I missed that... Usually if there is a way to tie in an illustration, I do... Good catch. : )) thank you for the visit
