My New Product Has Just Arrived!

I wonder what is in the box!

 

I was very excited for today as I have received some of my new products!

These are my Large Eco Cotton Bags produced with eco based inks displaying a screen printed design from my original image 'Spring Awakening'. The bag is printed on both sides and the colour is purple on a natural cream cotton bag.

I am as most people are nowadays very conscious of the environment and try when producing art work to use the eco-friendly option so I was extremely pleased to find out that these environmentally friendly products are also a 'Bags of Ethics' product and was manufactured in a Fair-trade Accredited, Ethically Audited, and Carbon Neutral Factory (for more information visit www.bagsofethics.org).

 

This would be a perfect gift with a difference for either Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day! Or why not treat yourself! The size of the bag is 38cm (w) x 43cm (h) & 33cm Handles and costs £6.50 to purchase via my website www.leannebroadbent.com.

Artists We Want YOU! A Charity Auction for 'The Sick Children's Trust'

Earlier this month it was brought to my attention a very worthy venture to raise money for The Sick Children’s Trust. I was asked if I would donate a piece of art work for this cause to be auctioned off at an event in Bridlington at the beginning of April. After hearing more about this scheme I agreed and now I am hoping more local artists (Yorkshire based) will join in and make a donation of original art for this event.

In November 2013 Paul Dobson a senior dental technician at Westwood Laboratory Ltd in Driffield, (East Yorkshire) is going to trek to Base Camp Everest to raise money for the charity ‘The Sick Children’s Trust’. This charity is close to Paul’s heart as in March 2012 his grandson was suddenly taken ill with Intussusception and taken to Leeds General Infirmary.

At this time it was Eckersley House a home away from home that provided the family with a place to stay close to the hospital relieving the family of the added stress of travelling to and from hospital.

Eckersley House was introduced to the public as part of ‘The Sick Children’s Trust’. This is the longest serving charity providing home from home accommodation in the UK. There are currently 7 houses like this one offering clean and comfortable accommodation where the whole family can stay to be close to their sick child’s bedside. While staying at one of these homes is free of charge the charity incurs a total cost of £30.00 per bedroom per night. They are not funded by the government and depend upon donations.

Paul hopes to raise £4000.00 for the charity from his trek which will help towards continuing this essential service. Donations can be made be donated directly to; virginmoneygiving.com/PaulDobson53

And if you are an artist what are you waiting for! Please email me at leanne@leannebroadbent.com if you are interested in making a donation for the fund raising auction.
