April's Theme: Leukemia

Journal Entry: Wed Apr 2, 2008, 3:27 PM
  • Mood: Hope


Monthly Theme and News Article


It's the first part of April everyone (as if you didn't know by the fun and games on dA yesterday) and so we move on to a new theme for the month.

This month we're featuring Leukemia, a blood and bone marrow cancer. Hundreds of thousands of people are affected by this disease every year world wide. Children and older adults especially seem prone to the disease.

For this month at DFTC we're doing an art drive. You can see the news article here. We're looking for your artwork about Leukemia. It can be in any medium and your choices are limitless. Just put in the artist's description that you allow us to use it in our gallery, send us a note titled "April Submission" with the link or thumb in the note. We'll take care of the rest.

We are also working on a Paper Cranes project for this month. If you do any paper cranes, please keep ahold of them if you want to participate in this part of the project. We are trying to get the paper cranes sent to the Hiroshima Memorial in Hiroshima, Japan. Watch our journal for more information on where to send your cranes!

Wow, I'll definitely try to come up with something. My grandmother found Leukemia for so many years, I remember going with my mum to drive her to her treatments. She beat the cancer-but a few years after she died. Her body was just so worn out. :[
I'm off to come up with art ideas. <3

My little sister died of leukemia a few years back..it still tears at my heart. She was only 11 months younger than me and we would be "twins" with the same age for a month a year. We had a glorious memorial for her blowing bubbles, flying kites n a cold and windy day at the beach.

I will do what I can.
I have immune def. so I am super dooper this month.

hmm... well we'll accept any medium, and it seems that you draw. i know how hard it is to think of something that would work for one such as this, but you'll come up with something i'm sure. :hug: thanks for the thought!
