Vital Organs
Organ failure is complicated, because organs don't fail suddenly, like a lightbulb might. It's not to say they never do. It's just that the most common scenario is one where the vital organ slowly deteriorates over time.

Organ and Tissue Donation
It's amazing to me that someone can go from disastrously poor health to living a completely normal life, after a short recovery period...just by receiving an organ from someone who no longer needs it. It REALLY is incredible!

Heart Donation Art
Of all organ transplants, heart transplants seem the most miraculous to me! I'm fascinated by the fact that we can keep a heart viable to then sustain life in another human being. It really is amazing!

Kidney Donation Art
I've been an organ donation advocate for years, but the last year has allowed me to use my hobby to help further the cause. Organ and tissue donation--unlike many of today's in curable diseases--actually CAN be solved through awareness!! Lets do this!!

WireGrams!!
I'm having a blast with WireGrams! In the scheme of things, what I'm doing is quite insignificant, but I'm getting to meet some really strong and inspirational people.
A WireGram is a wire art creation, usually a flower, since a lot of "Spoonies" can't have real flowers in their rooms, and it's personalized with a word up to six letters long. The word can be a person's name, or an inspirational word like "courage", "hope" or "breathe".
If you'd like to send or receive a WireGram, please follow these isntructions:
1) Follow @WIREANGEL on Instagram.
2) Email wirestuff@gmail.com with your IG name, the name and address of the recipient, what word you'd like, and a brief description of why the WireGram is being sent. If the WireGram is being mailed to a hospital, please include the facility name, medical department, wing and room number--as returned WireGrams will not be re-mailed.
3) Once scheduled, you will receive a confirmation email that includes the approximate date on which your WireGram will be created and mailed. I'm currently about two weeks out. If a medical emergency requires a faster response (eg if the recipient's health is deteriorating) please let me know in your email, and I'll move you to the front of the line.
If you're requesting it for someone else, the WireGram will include a note that reads, "Your Instagram friend @(yourIGname) is thinking about you and hopes this brightens your day!"
I will make the WireGram, print the note and mail it--for free. My goal is to make you / your friend smile and forget about your / her or his struggles...even if it's just for a minute.
Donate Life.

Jewelry
As I mentioned on Instagram, I like "industrial-looking" jewelry. People are creative, and I've seen some really cool stuff made out of washers and other hardware store items. Anyway...this bracelet was an attempt at making something along those lines. And, for reasons that I can't explain, I chose to take a picture of it on a rhubarb leaf.
