This piece has a lot of meaning in it to me.. I had Thyroid Cancer.. (as did my grandmother, father, brother.. It's hereditary) I had mine removed when I was young and luckily haven't had any further complications from that. I also just lost a friend's mom, who I have known for about 15 years, to Leukemia.. And I have 2 friends currently battling Breast Cancer.. This piece is for them
♥ Supporting the Fighters ♥ Admiring the Survivors ♥ Honoring the Taken ♥
The words are called an Ambigram.. It can be read right side up or upside down.. They are pretty cool and you can even make them say 2 different things but with the same format.. I found one a while ago and have been playing with the designs since..
This piece took forever because I wanted it to be perfect.. I am pretty happy with how it turned out..
I'll list the colors they should be and what they stand for. Starting from the left and going to the right across the top, then under:
Orchid - Testicular Cancer Awareness Lime Green - Lymphoma Awareness Grey - Brain Cancer Awareness Pink - Breast Cancer Awareness Purple/Marigold/Blue - Bladder Cancer Awareness Yellow - Bone Cancer Awareness Teal/Pink/Blue - Thyroid Cancer Awareness Orange - Leukemia Awareness Dark Green - Liver Cancer Awareness Burgundy - Multiple Myeloma Awareness Gold - Childhood Cancer Awareness Teal/White - Cervical Cancer Awareness Lavender - All Cancer Awareness Black - Melanoma Awareness Dark Blue - Colon Cancer Awareness Teal - Ovarian Cancer Awareness White - Lung Cancer Awareness Light Blue- Prostate Cancer Awareness Purple - Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Periwinkle - Esophageal Cancer Awareness
Wow! Now that's one beautifully well made ambigram! What a great tribute to all those people out there battling against the disease and for all those who have lost loved ones to cancer. I salute you!
I salute you!
