A big move w/ Big Red needs big luv

Donation protected

Hello all you gorgeous people! As you may or may not know, I have been living on the East Coast of Canada for upwards of eight years. So much has happened, and it has trully been a chapter of growth, perseverance, challenge and accomplishment, and I thank all of those who have played a part in it. It has trully been the ride of a lifetime. On June 20th I am going to be heading back out West and be able to call Vancouver "home" once again. 

 
I have tried to cut conrers wherever I can in the financial aspect of my life. I strive on making something from nothing, and am constantly making someones trash my treasure, my clothing, my furniture, and my food. It has been this learned attribute that has allowed me to save up for each semesters' tuition fees at school, to fund various trips to the states, and as well to prepare myself for the financial investment that is needed for this upcoming move. However, the expenses have crept up on me, and no matter how many roadkill stews I make, or how many stirfried dinners I cook from dumpstered goods, I am still finding it near impossible to make certain financial ends meet. From fixing the ol' "Big Red" that belonged to my dad and that will be my chariot home, to securing a house for my dogs and I in Vancouver, to shipping my heirlooms and treasures back to the west coast, the stream of dollar signs that scatter my "to do" list is daunting and frankly unobtainable.  I am not pleading for pity, or begging for your generosity, however I am asking for help, and more importantly  to engage in an exchange of gratitude, support and "paying it forward."  

Over the last few years I have engulfed myself in passions, crafts, and skils. I have been turning deer into
leather, roadkill raccoons into plush finished pelts, and bones and wire into elaborate chainmaille jewlery and wall pieces. I would like to take this oportunity to share these creations with you as a response to your kind donations.
For each doantion upwards of $20 each donator will recieve a handmade chainmaille pair of earings or keychain.
For each doantion of $100 - $200 I will costom make the donator a more elaborate piece of jewlery (from a handcrafted chain and bone neckalce, to a heavy duty bracelette, and any other idea someone wants to suggest to me)
For each donation $201- $500 I will create a custom chainmaille wall piece made from hand scavanged bones, trinkets, gems and driftwood. This will be custom as well and email communication can be used to let me know what sorts of content and style you would like in your specific wall piece.
For those able to to donate upwards of $500 I will custom create you something from traditionally tanned hair-on hides and/or buckskin leather. Be it a piece of clothing, a purse, a backpack, a scarf, a hat or any other idea you woudl like to bounce off of me, each of these creations will be carefully and passionatley created upon mutual consultation with the donator.

For each donator who wishes to receive these tokens of appreciation please include your email in the comments box along with your donation amount, and I will be in contact with you once I ancor ship out on the West Coast. 

Donation or not, I want to thank everyone for reading this and for showing your support, interest and concern in my life's endeavours, and prospective feats. The person I am today and the ambitions I have for my future on the west coast are a direct result from the undying love and care from so many people that span the continent. Thank you so much for your consideration and rock on! Love you all you crazy dings!
