Sorry Is The Saddest Word

This is one of my

'Melancholy Girls'

and is titled...

"Sorry Is The Saddest Word"

I created this illustration

in the aftermath of what has happened

in Haiti.

I had been considering doing one piece

each month,

specifically to send money for

charitable purposes,

for quite some time.

Having read the 'do's and don'ts'  on Etsy..

concerning selling for charitable purposes..

I'm still unclear of the rules there.

So...I simply decided to do

one piece each month...

so that I could give part of each sale

to a specific charity.

So...

"Sorry Is the Saddest Word"

is my

January illustration.

And..January's charity is the

Red Cross.

I'm doing it this way...with the month in the title...

so that I can send to that organization

for each of the prints that I sale..

as long as the print is available.

I used to do this on eBay and they were

going through

MissionFish...

it was really easy to do it that way,

as eBay would immediately take the percentage

designated when the sale was made

and send it directly to MissionFish...

to go to the specified charity.

Since Etsy doesn't do this...it's just easier

for me to 'spot the month'

in the title..

and upon the receipt of payment..

just go to PayPal

and send the funds directly to Red Cross.
