Crafting for Change

Rachael, Oregonian and math and science teacher, channels her enthusiasm for Barack Obama and her love of all things crafty into creating these pendants out of old Scrabble game tiles.

The second photo features a photograph by Portlander Maria Tizon, taken when Senator Obama made a surprise stop in Milwaukie, Oregon earlier this year.

She’s selling these for $10, with $3 donated back to the Obama campaign. Rachael doesn’t have a web site, but if you’d like one of these, send her an email at rachaellkk [at] gmail [dot] com.

Yes We Can!

Tidalflats made these leis and Obama logo medallions for her Obama-supporting pups.

Amy Woodward based this mosaic–her first attempt at a face–on the now-iconic Shepard Fairey poster. It’s 8.5 by 11 inches and made from vitreous glass on acrylic.

These T-shirts were designed and screen printed by flickr user martha_r to wear while she and her friends are out canvassing in Pennsylvania for Obama. She’s going to donate any extras to her neighborhood Obama field office. We love the state-specific T-shirts—they have a bit more impact than your usual campaign swag. And, in case you don’t know, that symbol is a keystone—for the Keystone State.

Pennsylvania is an important state in the election, one in which John McCain is investing a tremendous amount of money, and the Republican National Committee is engaging in despicable smear tactics. If you live in or near Pennsylvania, get involved with the Obama campaign in the Keystone State here.

We’ve got a couple of wonderful Potters for Obama today to showcase in our Daily Dose of Obama Crafts for Sale.

Lynae made the faces of this magnet set by hand, cutting out the star, stamping the lettering, firing, glazing and firing them again. Everything except the magnet itself was handmade. She’s donating all the profits to the Obama campaign. Check them out in her Etsy shop.

This mug was made by another ceramicist, LaPellaPottery, who writes,

With this mug, you’re not just rockin’, you’re Barackin’!

Who could argue with that? Get yours over here. While you’re at it, check out the “Yes we can!” version. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Obama campaign.
