New work still in progress. I did some more work on my blood donation painting. I glued the squares to the base and I sewed three lines of dark red stitches inside each of the empty rows of squares.
I have more to do, including deciding how to crop it.
I decided to make this painting because after donating my kidney in October 2019, I want to do more to physically help others, and I decided to give blood.
A few weeks after my blood donation, I found out through the Red Cross that my blood was sent to Holy Family Hospital in Methuen MA to help a patient in need.
That's totally inspired me to donate again. I already have my next appointment scheduled.
There are a few more steps to go before this painting is finished. I hope to get some time in the evenings this week, or sometime next weekend.
