Our 2010 Open Design Challenge for the Craft & Hobby Association Show in Anaheim highlights Friendly Plastic. Artists from around the world have made butterflies to commemorate the 1.5 million children who perished in the Holocaust for the ‘Butterfly Project’ at the Holocaust Museum Houston. Others created one-of-kind Mixed Media Jewelry and/or Altered Art for Jewelry or Home Décor, which will be donated to the Living Room Santa Rosa, a daytime shelter for abused women and children.
