I know there's been a lot of jewelry on the blog lately. Don't worry; we still love all corners of the craft world. But this post is time-sensitive--and for a worthy cause--so we wanted to share the news about Jewelers for the Gulf.

Jewelers for the Gulf is an online charity auction hosted through eBay Giving Works. Instigators (and artists) Patsy Croft and Chris Hierholzer persuaded nearly 40 of their peers to donate work in a variety of materials and styles. All of the proceeds are going to Gulf-area residents who have been impacted by the oil spill, via the Catholic Charities Archdiocese of New Orleans.

The auction began on September 1 and runs through the end of October, with new pieces added each week. Any artists who would like to participate can find instructions for submitting a donation on Croft's website, alohilanidesigns.com.

This is an awesome project. It's wonderful of Patsy and Chris to have started this. Hope and aid to those in trouble in the Gulf is worth our attention. Thanks to all who donate and purchase.
