"Outline An Orchid" Auction – September 2002

With the help of David Bellamy, the President of the Wildlife Trusts, the Dorset Wildlife Trust has recently asked famous people if they could "Outline an Orchid" (the logo of the Dorset Wildlife Trust).

The response has been wonderful and The Dorset Wildlife Trust now has over 220 drawings to auction between October this year and spring of 2003. This makes it the biggest auction of its type ever.

The range of contributors is remarkable, from musicians, artists, poets, actors, writers, TV personalities and sports stars. All in all they cover the very best of popular culture today. Here is a selection of some of them with a list of all the people who have so generously supported this worthwhile charity with their time and skill. Thanks go to them all.

Thanks are also due to the sponsors of this auction whose provision of raw materials has kept the cost down considerably. So thank you to Abbey Life for sponsoring our postage and to Hobbycraft of Ferndown, Daler Rowney and Winsor & Newton for sponsoring all the watercolour paper we used.

More information on the auction itself, and how to bid for the original drawings, will be added to this site as soon as it is available.
