Alchemy and the art of turning Silver Ingots into Artificial Eyes
In the last couple of years, Jenny Geelen has visited East Timor to craft Artificial Eyes for the East Timorese People. It has been a wonderful experience for her and she has received positive feedback.
Jenny wishes to continue with her annual trips with the idea of training someone in East Timor to make the Artificial Eyes. To help with funding for these trips, which has been self-funded in the past, Jenny has started a fundraising project.
Paul Allen is a West Australian artist who hand-crafts iconic silver ingots. He has supplied Jenny with a selection of his work which she is selling to raise funds for her East Timor clinic. He has been making the ingots since 1995 and currently lives in Kalbarri, which is 600km north of Perth, Western Australia.

Hi there, I am a goldsmith here in Halifax and always wanted to make jewelry with artificial eyes.
Can you help?
Perhaps I can also help you with the East Timor project.
