As some of you may already know, aside from creating with my sewing machine and thread, I am also a visual artist, painting and printmaking at an amazing artist collective in Portland, Maine called Running With Scissors. We have over 50 artists from all different mediums under one roof, sharing resources, equitment and knowledge. Why I'm talking about this today is that Running with Scissors is doing a Kickstarter.com to raise the money needed to finish referbishing and updating out new building. With less than 48 hours to go we need to raise $3,665 to reach our goal of $25,000, and if we don't make it we don't get any of the money raised. So I invite you to check out the link below, which has a ton of information about our studio, an awesome video, and a list of amazing "thank you" gifts (including t-shirts like the one above screen printed by yours truly).

Thank you for checking it out, and back to sewing next post!
I just upped my pledge amount--- you are so close! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks! I know we are soooo close now! I'm started to get excited about actually getting the new screenprinting room.... it would be so devastating if we get this close and don't make it!!
DeleteI have just pledged a tiny amount. I wish I could wave a magic wand and be the pledge fairy and you would hit the total! Creativity, community and public access - here's to sharing all good things. Hope you get to the target.
