African Art Fundraiser

Many of you commented on the small art items I had on display and for sale at the fiesta lunch fundraiser and I have completed more. I have finally finished several dozen additional plaques, as well as necklaces too.

These items are for sale to help raise funds for our trip, but also great reminders to pray for orphans everywhere, and to lift up Swaziland specifically when you pray.

About the art:
I wanted to create simple, colorful items that represented the culture of Africa, and were also bold statements to remind me of the many people in that country who need to hear of Jesus, and to have that hope of life in Him.

There are plaques with Scripture, as well as maps of Africa with Scripture or "Pray for Swaziland." The backgrounds are blue, red, yellow or green. I've also done simple necklaces with Africa on them and in two different styles. One has "Pray for Swaziland" and a simple outline of Africa, and the other is splatter painted with "Swaziland" painted on the left border. The necklace backgrounds are green, red, or yellow.
The necklaces and plaques are wooden, and the cord for the necklaces is waxed twine. More photos will be on Facebook, and if you would like a specific color or verse, just let me know. You can clikc on these photos to enlarge them as well. These are mainly unique items, with little duplication, so if there is a verse/color you like, speak quickly. The first group I made were gone fast. If you have questions about anything, please ask.

Just to be honest, I have struggled with pricing, because I detest trying to put a value on something that I made. It feels uncomfortable and arrogant to say, "Please buy this thing I painted!" I trust you all know my heart is simply to cover my cost and all the profit will go toward the people I'm going to visit in less than two months!


So, having said all that, I am just going with necklaces for $3 and plaques for $5 or any reasonable donation. You can buy a plaque with an easel for an extra $1, since that is what they cost me.

If you are interested in purchasing any, I can deliver them if you live locally or ship for a reasonable amount.I accept paypal to jennifertvines@gmail.com or you may pay by check or cash. Thank you all so much!
