The idea for the very project and its concept originated from the USA, started by Diane Gregoire, a polymer clay artist and a cancer survivor. She used polymer clay for decorating small glass medicine bottles and distributed them to patients as a symbol of thoughtfulness and hope.
We entered this project spontaneously at the beginning of this year, and the date for distributing the bottles was set on February 15, 2008, the Croatian National Child Cancer Day. The bottles are decorated with polymer clay (Sculpey®, FIMO® and PREMO®), in colourful, interesting designs and patterns, and each bottle also contains a small paper tag with a message of hope for the child.
Until this day, several workshops have been held in following towns: Samobor, Trogir, Makarska, Pitomača, Split, Zagreb, Knin and Brela, but new ones have also been announced for Šibenik, Bjelovar, Rijeka and Osijek. Of course, beside at various workshops, we also make the bottles individually.
The bottles will be distributed on February 15, 2008 on the Oncology Departments at hospitals in Zagreb, Split, Rijeka and Osijek.
Please, visit our blog at: bocicenade.blog.hr to see the pictures of some of the bottles we have made so far.
