Popular Post Charlie E Posted October 30, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 I posted a portrait a few weeks back of a young girl in our community who was fighting leukemia. Sadly she passed away. Her name was Rozlyn and her parents have started a charity called The Rozzy Foundation. It raises money for families going through the horrors of childhood cancer. I am cutting these ornaments for them to sell. It is a Sue Mey pattern. I removed the halo on one and added a bow on another, as Rozlyn always wore a big bow after losing her hair. It's nice to think as I make one that maybe it will be turned into a meal or a cup of Starbucks for a family member who needs a break. Love your family!!!

heppnerguy Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 What a wonderful thing for you to do. A fun raiser that will help others going through the same problem and for others that just care about the families and kids that are fighting this horrible decease. Way to go. You have become one of my heroes with this kind act. Dick heppnerguy Charlie E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meflick Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 What a great tribute and beautiful work you have crafted and should be good sellers and raising funds. Having different cancers in my extended family, I know the horrible sides of that disease. While watching any family member fighting it is difficult, I can only imagine how much more so it is when it is a child. Prayers said for her family.

OzarkSawdust Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 Wonderful cutting of such a fantastic cause. Too bad there is such a need for that type of thing. I, like most others now days, have had friends and family that fought one type of cancer or another. Charlie E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 So sorry to hear of Rozzy's passing. I love the idea of the bows replacing the halo's, I am sure she would get a giggle out of it. Excellent cause, you are a generous man.

don in brooklin on Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) They look fantastic in hardwood. I like them so much I just ordered the pattern from Sue. Each year I get invited to a luncheon for our local cancer support centre called Hearth Place. Our club makes wigs stands for those getting treatment and have lost there hair. I started the program in 2014 and our members have made close to 400. I like to give all the other volunteers to the "look good feel good' program an ornament and this would be fantastic. Question - what thickness of wood did you use and were you able to stack cut. I will probably have to 20 to 25. Also did you change the size? Great job. Thanks Don Edited November 8, 2019 by don in brooklin on Charlie E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inside of the wings is a challenge at this size but it gets easier after cutting a few. The thickness varies from 1/4" to around 3/8". I prefer the thicker ones but some of the wood I'm using is so dense it burns too easily. I have stack cut a few but I enjoy it more just doing one at a time. Sounds like a great program you're involved in. Great to use your talents to help others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don in brooklin on Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 Thank you. I have a month to get them done so I plan on cutting a couple each day as I have a couple of big orders on the Daddy do list. Charlie E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The angels are a bit fragile at that size and being made from solid wood. I've broken a couple by dropping them on the shop floor. I think that's in the job description of a Christmas ornament though. "Must break when dropped." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim McDonald Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 A great offer for a truly worthy cause. I guarantee you had angels looking over your shoulder as you cut those. And earthly angels will be buying them. Charlie E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
