Our First Neck Piece



We are setting up an exhibition and sale of scarves, wraps and conpemporary neckpieces for National Breast Cancer Foundation. We all know the horrific challenges women face with this disease, so we are here to raise money for a wonderful organization. So please donate a hand made scarf or wrap, it can be woven, knitted crocheted, stitched printed what ever you like. We are also looking for contemporary neck pieces as well from contemporary jewellers to also donate and join the exhibition. But remember the object is to sell the scarves so think and challenge yourself to make wonderful neck wear for sale. Let raise lots of money to rid the world of this horrible disease.

The exhibition and sale will be held in Canberra at Craft ACT in August 2008.


Our first donation is from Melanie Olde Jiggle Scarf
