The theme for this year was: soar.
Searching for ideas online I've found a mantra of a fiction character that sounded just perfect:
"I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar!"
Can you guess who that character was? Hoban "Wash" Washburne, the pilot of Serenity, a smuggling ship of the Firefly series.
As my
favorite part of Autumn are the colors of a changing nature, I've decided to make leaves ... in three colors: reddish, yellow and green.

The
charms are made of polymer clay, textured with real leaves and formed by
hands (no molds were used), then colored with chalks and acrylics and
varnished to a high shine.
The charms are available at a Charity Auction for Beads of Courage on eBay. All the money raised will go to Beads of Courage: the program is a resilience-based
intervention designed to support and strengthen children and families
coping with serious illness.
Buying a charm at the auction you can get a double satisfaction: you receive a piece of art and you help seriously ill children at the same time. Isn't that great??!!
Please visit also the blogs of the others participants, you won't regret!!
