one night, I dreamed of what I had to do..
so I gathered.
Bits gathered from my collection of vintage catholic bits and an old bra from a favourite vintage haunt.what could I do with this?
a Shrine to Mary !!
this is the back.. an old postcard layered upon a vintage piece of lace and in my gatherings, I found a small piece of tape with the words 'Made with Love'- and it was.
yes.there is always HOPE
a crown adorns the Queen of Heaven and Earth. the Queen of my soul.my entry:
Our Lady of the Vintage Brassiere..entries will be shown in local cafes and galleries until the end of May, where they will be auctioned off at a very swish affair at a local grand old hotel
Join Us! Art Novena ~ Our Lady of Lourdes

Again having trouble posting comment. Trying again. This is awesome, not only for a good cause but a wonderful piece of art. Will bring big bucks at the charity auction I'm sure. xoxo

This definitely is a 'Wonder Bra', good luck!

oh heavens! what a fantastic idea! and so beautifully done! You could sell these on an Etsy shop and donate a portion to the charity!! The Mary Magdalene pilgrimage is in the South of France. Her church is in St Maximin de la St Baume and her cave at St Baume - it should all be in my blog post! Thank you for this beautiful share!
Arty Bras -- what a wonderful idea! So very . . . very . . . SUPPORTIVE! And yours is lovely!
This is absolutely awesome, Robyn. You may start a trend.
oh be still my heart!
i am so taken with every mary stitch of love! oh robyn this is the BEST.
i offered to host this very event at our newly opened women's breast cancer center.
can you believe they turned me down thinking it too curt an offering to raise funds and awareness??
just see the majesty of all they are missing out on!
i am so proud of you!
I just read Rebecca's words of refusal and am shocked. We recently did a fund raiser but it was with paintings. These events are very important. Your Lady of the Vintage Brassiere is wonderful...it almost looks like a corset!!! I hope you post how this event turns out.
