Triple Win: You, Me, and Democracy

 

This year I’m posting three times per month: WORDS on the 3rd, PICTURES on the 13th, and SOUND on the 23rd.
Here’s this month’s PICTURES dispatch
.

Hello and thanks for being here! ❤️ With eyes, hearts, and energy focused on the upcoming election, I’ve come up with this “triple win” plan. It’s simple:

1) You make a purchase from my shop between now and August 31st, and receive awesome things.
2) I get to reduce the contents of my studio and bring in a little cash.
3) Democracy gets a boost when I donate 50% of the sale proceeds to the Black Voters Matter Fund.

The photos below represent crafting Fun Kits, art reproductions, original paintings, greeting cards, mosaics, and supplies offered through my online shop. Click on each photo to see the specific product, or click here to zip directly over to the shop to browse around on your own. Any purchase you make will count toward the donation at the end of the month.

I know you have some September birthdays coming up, plus that friend who needs a pick-me-up gift for simply surviving the past five months. 🤪 (You know the one. Maybe it’s YOU.)

Thanks for supporting my work, and for helping me to support BVMF — an organization that increases the engagement of Black voters by listening and responding to the needs of Black communities with real action and policy changes. If you’d rather support BVMF directly, please visit their site here.

Look what I found in my stash recently! These are begging to be used in your collage (ode to the post office?) or to decorate greeting cards. They will not help you pay the actual postage, however.
