I know it's been a while since I've posted anything. I've been busy making some artsy things, experimenting with the folk figures that everyone seems to be doing nowdays. I'll be sure to post pictures soon. I've also got a bunch of new art supplies and some journal items to share. Hopefully I'll be putting together some new videos soon! My real reason in posting this is to spread the word about a little fundraising endeavor I'm trying to put together. This is what I've been posting around. Please consider donating in some fashion or at least spreading the word to everyone you know, it would mean the world to me.
I'm trying to network as much as possible and if any of you can help I really would love you forever. I lost my best friend recently (June 28) to suicide, I am trying to put together an art 'shop' of sorts where all proceeds will be going to www.hopeline.com. They are the founders of 1 800 SUICIDE a suicide prevention hotline that has saved so many people. Anyway, this is the little blurb I have been posting around.
Call to artists/crafters! Donate for a good cause.
I am seeking donations of any and all shapes and sizes. I am in the infant stages of creating a fundraiser to raise money to support the efforts of suicide prevention.
I have already set up a website where all of this is going to take place. The details are up there, but essentially I'm looking for submissions, anything from paintings, prints of original art, ceramics, photography, fiber arts, jewelry anything creative and original. Once submitted it is officially in my possession. I will post the item and your information in the store, and leave things dormant while the amount of merchandise grows. Then I am going to network and advertise like crazy like mentioned above. When and if the item gets purchased all proceeds aside from shipping costs (shipping I will take care of) will be donated to the charity. Once the store opens there will be a period of three months and if your item has not sold by that point I will give you the option to keep the item in the store or I will send it back to you. This is an important cause to me so any help will be great. Spread the word!
If you're interested or have any questions please email me a lindsay.bluto@gmail.com
Please consider donating something small like a print or some sort of trinkety craft, or spread the word to those you know.
Thanks so much
