Auction For A Place to Bark -- Bid HERE!

The "Blythe and Friends" book, pictured above, contains 25 hand-made, front and back, 4" x 4" original mixed media art pages as well as handmade front and back covers, from artists in nine states and three countries.

Created by the Arte du Blythe group on Yahoo, which was founded by
Shoshanah Jennings of Hannah Grey Curiosities & Drygoods
(www.hannahgrey.com) and Heather Simpson-Bluhm of Bluhm Studios
(http://www.bluhmstudios.com), both based in California. The book was
hosted by Gina Smith, group administrator, in Indiana. It features work
by well-known and published artists such as Vicky Breslin, Debbie Metti,
Angela Hoffman, Chelise Stroud-Hery (founder of ZNE), Shelly Mundel,
Maija Lepore, Heather Simpson-Bluhm, and Shoshanah Jennings. Artists
from the United States, Canada, and Israel sent submissions.

The book is a paper arts lover's dream or is perfect for a lover of Blythe, animals, dolls and/or good deeds.

A Place to Bark and Meow is mixed media artist Bernie Berlin's no-kill animal rescue in Tennessee. Bernie Berlin's blog is http://aplacetobark.blogspot.com. As she herself says, "I run a full-time dog rescue, taking in the dogs that have been abandoned, abused or police confiscated. I foster, retrain, transport & adopt. Cats are also welcome at my rescue. I am drawn to the unwanted, unloved and misunderstood. I am hoping to educate and effect change for the animals that do not have a voice of their own."

A Place to Bark and Meow was one of the five top national finalists in last year's Parade magazine charity profile/fund-raiser. To date 2,453 people have donated $44,527 to AP2B, but the needs are constant as Bernie travels to other states to rescue abandoned, abused and injured animals, rehabilitating them (often with costly veterinary bills and medicines) and then placing them in loving homes.

Bernie currently specializes in Faberge-style eggs and is the author of the popular Artist Trading Card Workshop. She will send a special surprise to be enclosed with the 'fat book' for the winner.
