These Artists Put the Art in HeArt
Since I began writing Squidoo lenses and making my artwork available on line at Zazzle.com/sherryholderhunt* and at My Imagekind Galleries I have met some of the most generous people. Many are here on Squidoo and I have met others on Zazzle and Imagekind. They have large goals, Big Hearts, and they raise money to help others in need. Some of these wonderful people help other people that have special needs and some draw attention to certain animals that desperately need our help. They pour their talent and soul into their artwork, hoping they can help in their own way. I believe it takes a very special person to devote so much of their life to help others.
I have also met several that spend a great deal of their time and put a lot of effort in to promoting art and artists. Some of these people will also be included in this lens. I would like to introduce you to a few of these dedicated people, they are indeed, by their actions, the ones that I feel put the "art" into "heart".
Please keep these sites in mind as you begin deciding on gifts for loved ones. I feel it would be icing on the cake if the gifts you select, not only please the one that receives the gift, but also helps someone else along the way. Most of the artists in the following sites contribute a large (if not all) portion of their sales to charity.

Orangutan Orphan Card

Product id: 137834816123295602
"This infant is an orphan that just arrived in July 2008 at the Orangutan Care Center operated by O.F.I. (Orangutan Foundation International.) Notice how she is frantically grasping her own hair for a sense of security - that is how tightly she would be holding on to her mother. Except her mother was killed. Every day new orphans arrive at the Care Center, victims of the illegal pet trade and destruction of the rain forest. Orangutans have finger prints and share three of the same blood types as humans. They are gentle vegetarians. Please join me in making an immediate difference in the world. All profits from the sale of this card will be donated to O.F.I. Also, you may make donations of any size at the OFI website: http://www.orangutan.org (see pull-down menu 'How to Help' at top right) Remember the words of Francis of Assisi: "If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.

"Rain forests are not only essential to the climate of our planet but are home to endangered species, such as the orangutan which is the only great ape outside of the African continent. The gentle orangutan is a vegetarian, having fingerprints and three of the same blood types as we humans. The word orangutan means "people of the forest." You can help save rain forests and orangutans every time you step inside a grocery store simply by avoiding products that contain palm oil, a product for extending shelf life of many packaged foods. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An update of further concern: August 28, 2008: The Jakarta Post reports that palm oil companies operating in Indonesia have rejected a proposed moratorium on clearing forests and peatlands for oil palm plantations. The burning of these forest areas and the peatlands in particular create incredible pollution. ~~~~~Be informed. Read non-biased articles such as the January 25, 2007, article "Once a Dream Fuel , Palm OIl May Be an Eco-Nightmare" from the New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/31/business/worldbusiness/ 31biofuel.html"

Baby Amur Tiger Cub Portrait
by
beverlytazangel
The world's largest cat, the Amur (formerly known as Siberian) tiger, is one of five subspecies of tigers still in existence today. All five subspecies are threatened with extinction. Three other subspecies have become extinct since 2000. Poachers, habitat destruction, and loss of prey are the major factors leading to the departure of these majestic animals. There are only about 400 Amur tigers living in the wild today.

Parrot Portrait
by
beverlytazangel
Parrots, along with crows, jays and magpies, are some of the most intelligent birds, and their ability to imitate human voices enhances their popularity as pets. Trapping of wild parrots for the pet trade, as well as other hunting, habitat loss and competition from invasive species, have diminished wild populations, and more parrots are threatened with extinction than any other group of birds.
