This is a very special piece I made, called Cloth of Gold, created especially for the charity auction at this year's A-Kon in Dallas.
IT IS NOT FOR SALE! Please do not ask for a duplicate or "one like it" to be made! It was made uniquely for the auction!
ABOUT THIS PIECE: It is made from several unique findings, a pair of painted golden butterfly wings made from feathers, and an antique watch face. The sparklies on the neckband are genuine swarovski crystal. In back is a silver chain and clasp to fit all sizes.
A-Kon's charity auction this year benefits Family Place, a local shelter for battered or abused women and children, and all domestic violence victims. Guests of the convention are often asked to donate something to the auction to raise money for charity, and this year I decided to make something very special.
Cloth of Gold was made to remind people who have been abused or neglected that there is always somewhere they can turn, and always people like the volunteers at Family Place, who have hearts of gold and selflessly donate their time and energy to helping others.
Wow, it's absolutely stunning! And I think it's awesome that you're participating in something so good for others. It's good to know there's still nice people in the world.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
