This collaborative chess/checkers set was created as a second donation item for the Craft Alliance. The theme of this set was a playful interpretation on the attributes we apply to different species.
COLLABORATIONS
There is an assumption that artists cannot work well together, as each individual's vision is unique and the very nature of art is self-expression. I have been fortunate in having the opportunity to bring together a group of artists who have generously given of their time and skills to create unique, one of a kind pieces to benefit a common cause.
