Stolen Glass Tool Fund
Last night (6/20) while stopping off in Seattle on my way to visit my girlfriend in Canada my car was broken into, pilfered through, and many very important valuables were stolen.
I had just left a music festival and had to work during the weekend, so all of my camping and Circus gear as well as ALL of my Glassblowing tools and Passport were in the car. They took my entire toolbox/suitcase as well as two backpacks.
The things that were taken also include a few sentimental items, but the replacable items are the way that i make my living.
As an artist, my income is directly related to being able to make my art, and without those tools I am dead in the water until I can find a way to replace them.
I am somewhat apprehensve about making campaigns like this but it was suggested by many friends, so i thought i might give it a try.
Believe me, I am searching pawn shops, local glassblowing studios, Ebay and Craigslist to see if anything comes up, but only time will tell, and i cant wait for these tools to just show up.
Here is a full list of all the items stolen(that i can remember off hand)
