Want to raise disaster-relief funds for Haiti? How about cause-ribbon jewelry…
Two color schemes are in common use for “Haiti relief” awareness ribbons:
Red, yellow and blue tri-color (after the coat of arms on Haiti’s flag; used in the celebrity telethon last week)
Black (used by a big group in Facebook)
You can make jewelry in the shape of a ribbon, or otherwise using these colors. (Think of beads, crystals, cording and more.) Your talents can help in the drive to rebuild Haiti after this month’s terrible earthquake!
For other causes, see R&T’s awareness colors page.

Thanks for the reminder Dave. This is not going away soon. For my part I am donating 100% of my profits this month on the sale of my jewelry through a local art gallery where I exhibit. I have turned people away and toward that sale so that I can donate as much as possible. Last I checked I was ove $200 in profits! I also have been participating in the auctions that are around, like Hearts by Haiti and Haiti By Hand and Indie Fixx. I bid up some items and won others. Makes me feel good to know that my purchase will be doing someone somewhere some good. And makes me want to support those people even more.
Enjoy the day!

Thanks for sharing your ideas, Erin. I’d love to hear about more people’s plans to do their part for Haiti…
