Raffle for St Jude
Dear Friends, Family & Fellow Makers,
In the face of childhood cancer, courage and strength aren't just words—they are lifelines. Inspired by a personal journey witnessing the bravery required to battle childhood cancer, I'm joining the @makersforstjude project and creating a special handcrafted and handpainted art piece: The Lion of Courage.
The "Lion of Courage" is a handcrafted scroll saw art piece that was made from cut and hand-sanded/shaped wood. It features a complex array of swirling patterns and vibrant colors that form the shape of the lion’s mane and features. This exclusive piece is more than just art; it's a symbol of the relentless spirit, fierce bravery, and unwavering hope that children with cancer demonstrate every day. Handrafted with love, The Lion of Courage is based on a drawing I made in 2014, during a time of reflection on the virtues of strength and resilience in the face of daunting challenges.
Why a Lion? The lion, with its majestic presence and undeniable strength, perfectly embodies the courage these young warriors show in their fight against cancer. Every line, every color, and every brushstroke in this piece carries a piece of my heart and a message of support and solidarity to those enduring this battle.
