Handmade for Japan

Some great crafts-folk have curated a beautiful auction as a benefit for Japan. Their project was featured on the New York Times Blog today. The auction starts March 24th, so have a look if you get a chance.  Here's a sampling of some of the exquisite objects in the auction:

From top left to bottom, artists shown are Kristin Kieffer, Naomi Dalglish, Jun Kaneko, Justin Rothshank and Shoko Teruyama.

They have had such a huge outpouring of people wishing to contribute work, that they are unfortunately unable to take any more submissions.

But check out their Facebook page and show your support. Thanks!
