“Let Freedom Swing”

September 9, 2009 by Diana

Let Freedom Swing can be yours! Artist Tamela Burgess created a beautiful hand-crafted necklace celebrating the Cle Elum Seven’s release to sanctuary.  We want to make this one-of-a-kind, truly amazing auction donation available to all chimpanzee supporters, not just those who can attend the Celebrate the Seven auction. So, it will be given to the first person who lets me know that they will pay the guaranteed bid price of $1270.

Tamela spent a great deal of time working on this piece and used the finest materials. Here is her description, “The pendant is made of fine silver and is 3″x2.”   The painted clay inclusion depicts a young  juvenile chimpanzee swinging in the trees of his or her African homeland.  I also used Kazuri ceramic beads and Krobo recycled glass beads from Africa.  CSNW means so much to me and I’ve been working really hard to create something special for the auction.”  The necklace is approximately 18in long.

Tamela even included a display box and – get this! – a book of photographs illustrating and describing the process of making the necklace. We were all blown away. It is a beautiful piece by a beautiful person. See the photos below and fall in love like we did. Email me right away when you decide you can’t live without it: [email protected]

It will be available up until the auction date, Oct. 2nd or until it goes to the lucky person who makes the guaranteed bid.

Sponsor the auction – get some cool stuff

August 4, 2009 by Diana

We’re looking for sponsors for the Oct. 2nd Celebrate the Seven auction so that all expenses are paid and all money raised will go directly to the sanctuary, and we want to give you some pretty great stuff for your sponsorship dollars. We already have some amazing auction items (more on that later), and it is going to be one heck of a gala event! Expenses are starting to accrue, though, and we need more sponsors! We are looking for both business and individual sponsors, each come with thier own set of benefits. I’ve pasted the benefit information below and included a link to download the pdf versions of the benefit documents. You can also download the pdfs from our event page.

Please email if you are personally interested or know of any businesses that may be interested in getting some good karma, some recognition and some unique benefits  in exchange for their sponsorship.

Thanks!

Celebrate Foxie and her string o’ trolls!

July 22, 2009 by Diana

Foxie’s birthday is coming up soon! On August 8th Foxie will be turning 33, and we are going to celebrate Foxie-style. We are planning to put out more trolls than she has ever had at once. So, dig out those trolls you collected in the eighties and send Foxie a couple to PO Box 952, Cle Elum, WA 98922.

For inspiration, here’s a video of Foxie with her string o’ trolls:
