Start Date: January 2007 / Project End Date: December 2007
The Paper Quilt Project was a year long project that allowed artists from 32 different countries to come together and share their lives, their culture and their art with one another. Each artist was invited to participate because of their individual artistic style, but most importantly because of their strong desire to help make a difference.
Each month 12 new artists created a collage interpreting the project's theme, "A Day in my Life," and gave us a glimpse into their world. Every collage from each month will soon be sewn together to create 12 amazing and unique individual paper quilts. And later each paper quilt will be auctioned off or donated to charity in order to raise money for a cause that matters most to the artists.
Auction dates and charity information will be provided shortly. Please check the blog for updates.

My name is Dawbis and I am an artist / environmentalist with a lot of paper scraps lying around the house. I am not a non-profit, but just one girl running the Paper Quilt Project in hopes of making a difference in the world, now matter how small or big. My initial thought for this project was to help raise funds for an environmental organization, however I am leaving it up to the artists to decide in the end which charity to support.

Thank you to everyone who supported this project! December is approaching and the last paper packets will be out next week! Now it's just a matter of waiting patiently for all the artists to send in their collages :)
Currently, I have a broken scanner and have been unable to upload any of the new collages sent in within the last month. I apologize for this, but I'll have them up in the gallery as soon as I can. I appreciate your patience. If you're looking for further updates, please visit the blog. Beginning December, all further news and udpates will be made in the blog. Thank you!
