New Year, New Kara Paints

2/2/2022

 
Hey friend!

Since I dipped back into printmaking, I have become a wee bitty obsessed. 
At first, I set myself the goal of making one sacred heart a month, until I had 12 and could then make a huge print with all twelve hearts. That's still in the works.
But then I thought: what if I make one print a week? For a whole year? 
I'm 8 weeks in and still into it. 
But that creates a new problem, which is: I have stacks and stacks of prints. 
My answer to that was not to chuck them in the recycling bin, but to offer them for sale. Hence the "Shop" tab up there on the header.
The plan this year is to do 8 shop updates, correlating with the 8 Sabbats, with the exception of Yule. The last drop of the year will happen near Thanksgiving.
The dates for the updates will be on/around:
February 2nd (it's live--go look!)
March 21st
May 1st
June 21st
August 1st
September 21st
October 31st
November 24th

I'm also picking a new organization each month, and 25% of sales from each month will go to that organization. 
For the month of February, I'll be sending funds to the Chicago Freedom School. The Chicago Freedom school provides training to young people to help them make change in their communities. 
​You get some artwork, we get to help folks putting good out into the world, I'm no longer drowning in piles of paper. Everybody wins!

If you have suggestions for other organizations doing work to make the world a better place, please let me know! 

That's all for now friends.
