The artistic way!



Did you know that the newer money penny contains no zinc? She has created a barrier between the penny to protect sensitive skin, cleaned, textured and drilled. This penny hangs it in front of a pure 18 gauge textured & drilled solid copper disc. Oxidized and tumble polished for brilliant detail and shine.

The Crafting For A Cure team is a group of friends and family a few towns away in Palatine, IL from where I live. I was invited to participate in this wonderful event today with these giving women. I felt blessed to be able to give back today. So many have given to me, it was such a great feeling to give back!

I met some new friends, as well as fellow artisans I had already know. They have been coming together for 9 years to honor loved ones, celebrate survivor ship and raise money for the American Cancer Society.

They Relay for Life!
