Kinky Crochet - Cancer awareness through arts & crafts

Traditionally ‘medical awareness’ PR is duller than dull. I mean think of all those crappy posters on the Dr’s Wall which are badly designed using word clip art and made “snazzy” by the use of coloured paper!

However, hats off to the awesome Shannon Garard who has come up trumps with her kinky crochet - awesome crochet toys include boob badges, penis finger puppets.

What totally kicks creative arse in this range is the Early Detection Kit - it contains either one boob or penis (available in peach, beige, brown, or dark brown). And?..

Well, each ‘toy’ has had a small bead sewn in to it, with the aim to teach the public how to check for cancer. They even include a pamphlet on how to check yourself, and $5 from each sale goes to cancer research.

“Using the softness and humour of these EARLY DETECTION KITS, I hope to eliminate some of the fear surrounding monthly exams and encourage people to check themselves often. Testicular cancer is treatable and often curable, if you find the problem early enough.”

So don’t delay and buy your crochet penis here today.
