you all ready for this?

hello again! we have been so busy working on putting together some wonderful things for all you generous people, and today i am so excited to share the details with you. so here is the deal: as you can see on the thermometer over there on the right, we want to send $3,000 to angelia for rebuilding her studio. so far we have $360 raised, and now we are ready to really get rolling to bring in the rest.
we have also gotten some really generous artists to contribute and create some pieces for the fundraiser! so here is how it works (there's a lot of exciting information here, so be sure to soak it all in!):

for a contribution of $5, you will receive a 'save the thread' custom-designed desktop download, created by mr. will bryant himself. it looks something like this (he even made one for your iphone!):


for a contribution of $10, you will receive the download AND a hand-written thank you note from us, AND a little bit of bling of this variety:


for a contribution of $30, you can receive the download, the thank you note, the button, AND a great piece of art created by one of seven talented artists who have kindly donated their work for the fundraiser. here's a little sampling of what you can receive:

above from l-r: pretty little thieves, will bryant, jaime derringer

above, clockwise from left: joetta maue, jess gonacha swift, lisa solomon, roll and tumble press

your artwork will arrive safely in a beautiful, custom-made envelope from paula at pickalapoopa. aren't they gorgeous?:


and, if you can find it in your heart (and wallet!) to give $50 or more, we will send you the download, the thank you note, the button, and not one, but two pieces of art! whoa! so if you like concise lists, i'll break it down for you:
$5: desktop artwork for your computer and/or iphone.
$10: desktop download, save the thread button, and hand-written thank you note
$30: desktop download, save the thread button, thank you note, and original artwork (if you have a preference of what you would like to receive, let me know and i will do my best to send you your request! quantities of art from each artist is limited, however, so i can't make any guarantees!)
$50: desktop download, save the thread button, thank you note, and TWO pieces of artwork.

if you have any questions at all, feel free to contact us at savethethread@gmail.com

whew! okay. that's all from us right now. donate through the button at the right, and do it now before you miss out on the thank you gifts!
