Check out my project on Kickstarter
I have been invited to be on Kickstarter- a pledge website for artists raising money for their projects. I need to upgrade my jewelry studio with casting equipment so I can translate my wax carved molds into metals, using my client’s fine raw materials. My project timeline to raise money is 90 days. The deal with Kickstarter, is that a project is successful only if all of the money is raised in the allotted amount of time. If the the goal is not met, then there is no money given to the artist for their project. Please help me to achieve my goal! Check out my project and discover other cool projects on Kickstarter. The direct link to my project is on the right. Enjoy!
Hi Mary Edna Fraser- Yes, I’m in Charleston. I’d love for you to help me towards my goal on Kickstarter. I know we are in the same city, but if you don’t donate thru Kickstarter then I won’t get closer to reaching my goal. Kickstarter does not charge or withdraw funds from people that have pledged until all the money is raised for the project in time. If my project runs out of time (86 days left I think) and all the money hasn’t been raised- no money is donated to me and none of the pledges are withdrawn from a backer’s account. I also just went to look at the rules of Kickstarter and if someone makes a donation to me directly and I want it to work towards achieving my goal- I would still have to get a third party to actually make the donation for me. They don’t allow an artist to donate to their own project. Does that make sense? When you go to my project on Kickstarter with the link on the blog- there’s a section on the top right called, “FAQ/Help” and all of this information is there.
I would love to know how you found me and of course meet you sometime soon being in the same city. If you have any questions about the donation process on
Kickstarter let me know. It’s very simple to make donations and it’s also a legitimate platform for artists to raise money for their projects. It’s in partnership with Amazon if that makes you feel more secure. Thank you so much for helping me reach my goal! -Beth
It is this kind of blogs that inspire me to read more English. Although sometimes it feels that I am not learning so fast. And yea I live in Norway
That’s awesome to hear that I’m reaching folks in Norway. Please visit again and practice your English, which is very good by the way!
