Help Japan Challenge

'Tulips' an original drypoint print completed with watercolour and ink has been submitted to The Help Japan Challenge posted by painter Keiko Tanabe.  The challenge - to raise funds to help the stricken people of Japan overcome disastrous after effects of the recent earthquake and tsunami - features an ongoing online auction of artworks with proceeds going to charity. 


Money raised through the sale of 'Tulips' will be donated to the Japanese Red Cross Society (send money via Google).  Take a look at Katherine Tyrrell's Making a Mark blog which is where I first found out about Help Japan.  Have a good week. x
