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.
