[Bottles of Hope] Spreading Good Cheer through Art

"Hello.  My name is Princess Zita.  Would you like to have tea with me?"
"Have Tea with Me"
Polymer Clay
Isn't she adorable?  She is going to a special patient as part of Bottles of Hope.  The Bottles of Hope project started in  1999 by Diane Gregoire, a polymer clay artist and cancer survivor who used her talents to bring cheer to cancer patients by covering glass medicine bottles with art and giving it to them.  The members of the Houston Polymer Clay Guild has been actively participating in this endeavor.  I always look forward to coming to the guild once a month to chat, to learn and to see what projects the others have done.

Look at these unique pieces of art.   There are a variety of techniques that were used to make each bottle - oh, the wonderful world of making canes!

February 2014
Last February, I made a bottle using colors that were southern/rodeo inspired.  I also added rope and tassels.  As always, all the bottles were beautiful but one of the hits that brought us to the moon (no pun intended) was this NASA astronaut... oh, the details on the logo and flag were just amazing!

It is my prayer that each bottle of hope would bring love, joy and a sweet smile to each recipient.

Blessings!

    I simply LOVE this.... your lady and your southwest bottle are wonderful. I still cherish the nativity ornament or heart you sent me. My Husband and I started a non-profit called Hunting for the Cure. It allows kids with cancer to come to our place and hunt, fish, be outside. It is all free. If you want to see more go to www.huntingforthecure.org. If your guild would like to do something for the kids that would be awesome.
    Have an amazing day.
