You may or may not remember I participated in the Mandalas for Marinke project. Marinke was a young woman who battled depression and it finally got to be too much and she took her life. She was becoming a name in the crochet world and used crochet to battle her depression. I don't remember how I came about the project but people were asked to crochet mandalas and send them to a woman in San Fran. She was to collect them, put them together in a book and have an art exhibit. Well that day has come. Depression is a real battle that many face and this is one way to bring it to the forefront and make more people aware that this is a real issue that many deal with, not just someone having a bad day.
Anyway here is the link about the exhibit and book. I plan on getting a book and wish I could make it to one of the exhibits.
