Meet Miss Bra Turtle.
She's is hiding in her shell. She's a little shy.
She was made for the Plush Team's Breast Cancer Awareness Fundraiser 2009.
Breast cancer sucks. What do you do with those old bras after those medicine men have finished chopping you up? Make a bra turtle! Miss Bra Turtle is made from a real underwire bra. No kidding.
Miss Bra Turtle is dedicated to the fabulous Cassandra Danz aka Mrs. Greenthumbs who died of this wretched disease. She left her words behind for me to find to bring me out of my shell and turn me into a gardener. Thank you.
Please visit the Plush Team Etsy Store to support the cause and buy Miss Bra Turtle or one of the other fabulous plush creations where 80% of every purchase goes to the Susan G. Komen Institute, an international fund dedicated to raising money for Breast Cancer Cure research.
How very clever! And what a lovely tribute to a wonderful gardener. Well done.
