Handmade for Japan

Verden ble snudd opp ned for Japan for noen dager siden. Fra å være et høyfunksjonelt samfunn er det nå krise på mange fronter. Et stolt folk har ikke lett for å be om hjelp, men det er mange som ønsker å hjelpe. Blant annet holder "Handmade for Japan" en auksjon på ebay. Auksjonen starter torsdag 24. mars. Det er kanskje ikke så enkelt for oss i Norge å delta, men det er utrolig mye vakker keramikk! Tiltaket er startet av keramikere, og pengene skal gå til en landsby med keramikere. En av mine favoritter er nissearmeen. Men så liker jeg nå det som er litt på siden av det pene også da.

About: Handmade For Japan's mission is to raise money through an online auction on March 24-27 for relief efforts to assist the victims of Japan's catastrophic earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear emissions.

Handmade for Japan is an online auction of unique, handmade art donated by concerned, invited artists. One hundred percent of all net proceeds collected via the auction will be donated to Global Giving's Earth and Tsunami Relief Fund. http://www.globalgiving.org/projects/japan-earthquake-tsunami-relief/

Previews of the auction items will be available in English and Japanese through Facebook pages and Twitter updates. All inquiries in either language should be sent to handmadeforjapan@gmail.com.
