Lupus Across The Web

Lupus Across The Web

This project is pretty simple: share websites and articles. If you are planning to contribute to this project and have a website, please leave the URL in the comments below or email it to me. If you know of a good website, online article or online resource that is Lupus related, once again I asked… Continue Reading

Butterfly Kisses

Butterfly Kisses

This is a general medium project and is an extension of 1000 Paper Butterflies. It is pretty simple: make butterflies. You can paint them, sculpt them, cross-stitch them, crochet them, knit them, embroider them, quilt them, take pictures of them, etc. Pick your preferred media and create. Once they are created, you can choose how you… Continue Reading

Create A Video

Create A Video

Once again, the possibilities here are limitless. Instead of writing your story or a poem, you can record your story. You can create a music video. You can create a video of your progress working on another project. You can create an education video. The possibilities are endless. I plan on creating a dedicated YouTube… Continue Reading

But given time constraints, a quilt may be too ambitious of a project to attempt this year. Maybe next year. So instead of a quilt,… Continue Reading

Whether you are a Lupus sufferer or know someone who is, I invite everyone to share their story. The more people share their stories, the more… Continue Reading

1000 Paper Butterflies

1000 Paper Butterflies

This idea was suggested by a lady named JoAnn when she read my crazy idea for World Lupus Day on my personal blog. I will use her words to describe this project: What about collecting butterflies made by people, trying to get 1000 of them in an act similar to the 1000 paper cranes idea… Continue Reading

Create A Song

Create A Song

If you are musically inclined, then I invite you to write a song about lupus. It would be nice (however, not necessary) if there was a butterfly theme to the song. If you choose to use the butterfly motif, this does not mean the song has to be literally about a butterfly. The rhythm could mimic… Continue Reading
