Artists for Ovaries 2010

Obviously this isn't this best picture...not really sure why it's cut off. Anyway, Artists for Ovaries was another success this year. There was tons of great art from local artists. My stool appropriately went to a local OB/GYN.

Monkeyin' around

I painted this fun step stool for a fun little girl's room. I love the colors!!! Thanks, T, for letting me paint this!

This is the pillow sham that I matched the stool to.

Boys need a little help, too

I painted this step stool to coordinate with a friend's playroom for 2 boys. The room is painted blue with green squares randomly painted on the wall. Excuse the terrible photography background!

Step up to the Big Top

I painted this step stool for the winner of Junior League of Little Rock's Bargain Boutique silent auction. She asked me to design it based on the circus themed tent that is pictured above. I love the colors!

A happy customer!

Mason's mommy sent me this picture of him stepping right up and brushing his teeth after he got his step stool. I'm glad that I'm able to contribute to dental hygiene!

A small step for a big boy

I love how this stool turned out, but the pictures don't do these colors justice! The harlequin pattern on top is the same green as the green stripe on the sides. A friend asked me to paint this for her two-year-old's birthday. I tried very hard not to put any polka dots on this one, but somehow red dots appeared on it anyway. ;) AC, I hope that this stool will provide much happiness to M's teeth brushing!

A Helpful Step Stool

I painted the stool to match the colors of this painting and a shower curtain that's in the bathroom.

I'm so flattered when I have "repeat" customers. I painted a rocking chair for a friend last year and now she asked me to paint a stool for her kids to use in their bathroom. When I delivered it yesterday, the little girl took it straight to her bathroom and brushed her teeth. Now I'm totally convinced that I have to paint one for my kiddos!

I've overheard a mom and daughter discussing that they need one for themselves to be able to get into their beds or reach things up high due to their height. I will be glad to paint a stool for adults, too!

Artist For Ovaries is a Wine/Cheese Silent Auction benefiting the Arkansas Ovarian Cancer Coalition. This fundraiser will allow AROVCC to produce and distribute educational material to the women of Arkansas regarding the signs & symptoms of ovarian cancer.

Several local Arkansas Artists are contributing pieces – including yours truly and my dear old friend Amy Lasseigne, whose mother is an ovarian cancer survivor. There is an estimated 45 pieces of artwork to choose from. Sale prices will range from $40-$800.

Here is my stool that will be in the auction. If you like teal, then this will be a great spot for you to find something. Every art piece had to include teal somewhere on the piece. Some may not have as much as mine, though.

- Last year 130 Arkansas women died of ovarian cancer.

- In 2009, over 22,000 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer; over 15,000 will die.

- The symptoms are silent, so please listen: pelvic pain, bloating, frequent urination & feeling full quickly.

- If you have had certain forms of hormonal breast cancer you have a higher risk of getting ovarian cancer.

Please come and help support the women of Arkansas .

The Arkansas Ovarian Cancer Coalition (AROVCC) exists with the purpose to educate the public about the signs and symptoms affecting the women of Arkansas . The AROVCC, whose membership is comprised of individuals who each have been personally impacted by ovarian cancer, works to help save lives by disseminating information on the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer, ovarian cancer research, and resources available. By promoting professional and public awareness through educational materials, mass mail-outs, rallies, seminars and fundraising events the AROVCC has developed into the driving force against ovarian cancer in the State.

I've decided to add step stools to my list of hand-painted projects as I realize that my little girl is going to need one soon to brush her teeth and do other practical things around the house.

If you're interested in this particular stool, you may purchase it at Kid's Furniture on Markham in Little Rock (501-978-5439) and ask for Judy. I plan on having more pieces available at her store soon. In the meantime, if you're interested in having a customized piece for your home please email me at edees7@yahoo.com or post a comment on my blog. I would love to create something special for you!
