| Nick Frank with the tiles he removed to sell for charity |
With donated frames from Ikea, Nick created 22 pieces of artwork from the tiles - representing the 22 people who died in the Manchester bomb attack. The tiles then went up for auction on ebay as part of a charity initiative to raise funds for the Manchester bomb attack victims.
The ebay auction ended last night, with all of the tiles being sold. The cheapest one went for £650 and the most expensive at £1,850. The total raised was for the charity from the sale of the tiles was £18,404.55
Nick then announced on twitter that not only was he over the moon to have sold all the tiles for such a great price for the charity, but that Vodaphone had doubled the amount raised to a whopping £36,809.10.
Well done to Nick and to all of the people who bought one of the tiles. I had a reserve of £50 on one of them, but was outbid immediately, and rightly so!
