The Concept

  • Collect owner-submitted names of their dearly missed Borzoi and write them onto origami paper that will be folded into paper stars

  • One star per name

  • Gold for those lost to cardiac

  • Silver for those lost to other (IE cancer, old age, etc)

  • The frame is a 16 in x 13 in shadow box with a hand-painted background

  • The glass will have a hand-painted Borzoi

The finished piece will be auctioned off, and the proceeds will be donated to the Borzoi Health and Welfare Foundation
