Print Auction for Haiti


The talented Team6Pack aka Laura has generously offered up this item to benefit the Fandom's efforts to raise money for the victims of the Haiti disaster.
PLEASE USE THE COMMENT SECTION BELOW TO BID ON THIS PICTURE.

From Laura:
You are bidding on a Giclée print (aka reproduction) of a drawing I drew originally in colored pencil of the Twilight book cover art. The skin tone of the arms will not match the sepia tone of the book 100%. I chose to use blues and cool grays and added slightly more shadow detail to create the arms and hands. I wanted to make their appearance look similar to stone or marble ;)
You can see the slight differences in tone/contrast in this pic:
The original drawing was done on textured drawing paper and you will see this detail in the reproduction, the print is on a textured cotton rag paper similar to the original. The print is professionally done and fully archival. Size is 11x14". There will be a small white border around the print so it will fit perfectly in a standard size frame or mat. You will see the fine detail of the pencil strokes as well. So, this is not just another poster you're bidding on! And remember it's for a good cause!!

MsKathy leads the charge for Authors for Haiti




Our dear friend and fellow author MsKathy has extended a plea for help all to benefit the devastation in Haiti.

From MsKathy




I've issued a challenge to all of my friends who love TwiFic.



Donate at least $5 to a charity of your choice, to help Haiti, and I will deliver a pre-written lemony good 1K minimum story to your email box. This will be a story written that I share with all people who donate.

Thanks to the generosity of my fellow fic authors, this has turned into a small collection of stories. This will now include contributions of varying length (not necessarily lemony, not necessarily TwiFic) from the following authors (in alpha order): 4lettrwrd, 4theluvofmary, 7 Stories, Adair7, afragilelittlehuman, Amethyst Jackson, antiaol, Aspenleaf, bonnysammy, BriannaMarley, bsmog, ciaobella27, Danell, DefinatelyStaying, DirtyCullen, EchoesOfTwilight, ecullenitis, einfach mich, EJ Santry, evieeden, eye ree, FanpireMama, Feisty Y.

I'm tracking the receipts as I get them - if every one of my Twitter followers donated just $5, we'd donate over eight THOUSAND dollars. Let's help, ladies!



Forward me a copy of the receipt - be sure to delete your personal details - to be added to my list.




I will email the story on 01/25.


You have until 01/24 to make your donation and be added. If you already donated through your cell phone and did not get an email receipt, send me an email. We'll work it out.
