Kickstarter!

It has begun!

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1559128309/the-wishing-star-collective
Help me raise money to get the word out about this project! Tell your friends! Donate a dollar! Every little bit helps. I have 60 days to reach my goal and I need every little bit of help that I can get.
I am terribly excited and nervous all at the same time. I want this project to explode and take root and expand into awesomeness. You like awesomeness, right? Everyone likes awesomeness. Help this be awesome. You have to admit, gumball machines full of tiny origami stars sounds pretty awesome.

UPDATE!

Kickstarter is going brilliantly - already half way there, and 50 plus days to go! Tell your friends! People on the street! Anyone! And Everyone! This project is going to be amazing! And thank you to everyone who has already helped - much appreciated.

While I'm waiting on that to succeed, I have already started selling little capsules full of tiny stars. Portland Pins has generously allowed me to use a the right side of the machine they have set up in SPACE Gallery, check it out!
Last night at the Bloc Party I sold $10 worth of these little guys. Doesn't sound like a lot, but it's ten more dollars towards the project goal! Totally worth it. And totally fun - go get one of your very own!

The pictures are not awesome, since I took them from my phone, but you get the idea. This is what I want to set up - machines just like this, set up all over Portland, and maybe other cities one day too. Full of tiny little adorable stars, to help get the word out about needing these wishes! You can donate as little as a dollar, and I will put that dollar to good use.

Don't forget to keep giving me your wishes! It only takes a minute, and it's totally anonymous.

UPDATE!

We made it! $700 dollar goal reached! 12 fantastic backers and ten days combined to reach a level of awesome this town has not seen. But! It doesn't stop there! There are still 45 days left to go. I'd like to see just how much money can be raised - think of it. More gumball machines in more cities around the world. Get the word out to people in California, Michigan, Massachusetts, just as a start. For just a dollar you can help support an exciting project. Tell your friends!

And keep those wishes rolling in! Right now I wish I didn't have a headache. Simple enough. Totally going into a star. I also hope I get this job I am interviewing for. Another star. One of my dreams is that I'll wake up one morning and have raised $1,000 dollars. $1,000 dollars for a 1,000 stars. Another star. Simple things and silly things, give them all to me.

And thank you. I am thrilled.
