Handmade For Japan (re-post) - Auction Happening Now!

I posted about this last week, but I just wanted to remind you about Handmade For Japan -- an online auction of unique, handmade art donated by artists and galleries throughout North America and Japan. The auction began last night and will end THIS Sunday, March 27 at 8:00pm EST through eBay Giving Works, partnered with MissionFish. Handmade For Japan has already raised over $30,000 overnight and all of the net proceeds will be donated for GlobalGiving’s relief efforts in Japan.

My painting Japanese Cup and Shiitake Mushroom is part of this auction.

mission:
Handmade For Japan's mission is to raise money through an online auction on March 24-27 for relief efforts to assist the victims of Japan's catastrophic earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear emissions.

Handmade for Japan is an online auction of unique, handmade art donated by concerned, invited artists. One hundred percent of all net proceeds collected via the auction will be donated to the relief efforts in Japan.

Previews of the auction items will be available in English and Japanese through Facebook pages and Twitter updates. All inquiries in either language should be sent to handmadeforjapan@gmail.com.

who we are:
Handmade For Japan was borne out of concern for Japan's residents by Japanese-American ceramic artist Ayumi Horie. She, Ai Kanazawa Cheung, and Kathryn Pombriant Manzella have mobilized to solicit, promote, and auction handmade pieces of art generously donated by talented artists throughout North America and Japan.

My painting Japanese Cup and Shiitake Mushroom will be part of this auction.
