Does This Count As Art?

I sure hope this doesn't break the rules here because I wanted to get the word out about The Butterfly Project and I thought here the artists might want to participate. It took me about 20 minutes to create this blog button for my sidebar on my blog. I used a bookmark I had made, photographed it and added all the other computer stuff I needed to make it a linking button. Here's the picture of my new button for the Project...

Let me explain The Butterfly Project. The Holocaust Museum in Houston is doing an amazing thing. They have set up a goal to collect 1.5 million handmade butterflies (in any form, painting, collage, sketch etc.) from around the world by December 31st, 2012. Each butterfly represents one of the 1.5 million children who perished in the Holocaust. In the Spring of 2014 an exhibit will be installed in the museum to serve as a memory of the children. If you want more information on how to participate, please go to this post on my blog, Just Add Water Silly.

If you'd like to display this button on your blog just go to my blog and you'll find the code on the right sidebar. Just copy and paste the html code into an html widget when in your design section. I think this Project is such a beautiful idea. The museum has collected 900,000 butterflies so far, so they need many more. Please add the button to your blog and think of sending your own contribution butterfly. It's for a beautiful cause.

Best,
