"Clasped Hands" original print

Value = $40     Starting bid = $30

Framed Original Print  -- Clasped Hands (print approx 12"h x 9"w)
Donated by Betty Pulse

Artist Betty Pulse designed  handmade note cards with this image of clasped hands that the New Sanctuary Movement of Philadelphia has been using for personal correspondence. It is a symbol that evokes many feelings that represent what we're about -- -- strength, connection, alliance, prayer, urgent pleading, solidarity. 

We've had such a powerful response to this image that we have selected it to be used (with the artist's permission) on our  newly designed, official t-shirts!  Now you have a chance to take home the original print.  Bid generously!
