Our creative supporters

April 16, 2010 by Diana

We are 1/3 of the way to reaching our ultimate fundraising goal of $45,000 by June 13. We can do this! I wanted to share a few ways that supporters are helping to raise funds.

Margaret Parkison: You may know Margaret from her painting of “Negra in the Sun” which was featured in the Celebrate the Seven auction last year.

Margaret has set up a donation page through Firstgiving and is giving away cards with a print of one of the paintings she has done of the Cle Elum Seven for every $30 donation.  You can find all of her work on her website. Margaret also donates 10% of the profits of the sale of any of her paintings of the Cle Elum Seven to the sanctuary, so consider that too when you’re browsing her site!

Catherine Mollyneaux just yesterday set up an Etsy shop with proceeds of her unique wildlife cards to go to the sanctuary.

Here’s the description of her work: hand embroidered  with the best quality Sulky & DMC threads. The animal decals are Single Decoupage, 2D Iris Decoupage and some 3D Decoupage. Each card is articulately finished with tissue/vellum paper inside and comes with a matching envelope

Visit her shop to learn more about these beautiful cards and to purchase.

Tamela. You may also remember Tamela’s work from her necklace “Let Freedom Swing,” featured in the Celebrate the Seven auction last year.

Tamela has set up her own Etsy shop and is featuring an array of her handmade jewelry and other items. All net proceeds on her chimpanzee items  until the end of June will be donated to the sanctuary. She’s already raised over $400!

Tamela is adding new items regularly and people are snatching them up, so be sure to visit her shop frequently!

“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.

Chimpanzee footprint pendants / Fundraising update

May 24, 2009 by Diana

Another great fundraising page was added by Tamela! She is an artist and jewelry maker and will send a really cool chimpanzee footprint pendant (see photo below) to those who donate on her page. There are six folks who now have fundraising pages and we’ve raised almost $2,000!! We need $5,000 more to go by June 30th to reach the goal. You can still have a portrait of one of the Cle Elum Seven painted just for you and have a four-course meal delivered to your Seattle home, or you can choose to support a friend who’s started a page. To see all of the fundaising pages, click here. For more details, including how to start your own page, see our Help Us Fundraise page.

Thanks for helping us celebrate one year of sanctuary life and Negra’s birthday!
