Auction in Support "Bring Back My Girls"

On April 14, nearly 300 girls were abducted from their school in Nigeria simply for pursuing an education. One month later, artists are coming together for these girls. On May 15, artists around the world will post, tweet and create around this issue and the right of girls everywhere to pursue an education without fear. Many artists have donated work to be auctioned off on May 15. All proceeds will go to girlrising.com, a global campaign for girls' education.
The Auctions will start today May 15th at 7am EDT and end May 17th at 3am EDT

I have been following this story and I really wanted to do something to help get these girls back from their captors. I have created two pieces for this auction at 32 Auctions, I hope you will have a look at all the wonderful pieces that all the artists have created and possible give them a bid. You can also donate monies if you don't want to bid on anything.

Anything you give goes directly to Girls Rising to support the world wide struggle to educate girls safely

The two piece I have donated are a 5x7 flat mixed media canvas

created using acrylic paint, Dina Wakley and Tim Holtz stamps, Wendy Vecchi embossing paste and stencils

and also a 17" necklace made completely by me using beads and Tim Holtz ideaology part and alcohol inks

There are also many other artists who have donated items for the auctions -
