DancingMermaid » wanted:art supplies*

i have recently hooked up with a wonderful kindred named jenny (hi jenny) and shakti rising to do a very special project. shakti rising is a sacred, healthy place for young women to go who need help. (eating disorders, depression…)Â it is spiritually based and just an all around beautiful space to go and heal.

something i thought i could offer the women is art journaling.Â the little girls i teach wanted to be involved as well, so we are making buckets full of painted magic rocks to sell. with the money we raise, we are going to purchase art journals and make “art packs” for the women taking the class. that way, they will have supplies to continue to journal if they (hopefully!) become inspired by the class. some of the little girls will come along with me to teach the class with the big girls. i am really excited to watch them become empowered with their own magic.

here is where you can help-art supply donations! some of you artsy chicks may even have stuff laying around already. (like me) we need to make 13 packs total.

things that could be put in art packs:

decorative paper, fabric scraps, ribbon, buttons, stickers, hole punchers, paint (any kind), rub-ons, tissue paper, pretty images/cut-outs, letter cut-outs, crayons, oil pastels, beads, glitter and glittery things, fun pens, colored pencils, stencils, stamps, etc.

any donation, big or small, is greatly appreciated and will change a girls life for the better. please email me at mccabe@dancingmermaid.com if interested.

I’ve got glo-in-the-dark condoms and edible panties I could send you. It would sure perk things up, know what I mean…

No? What? It’s not THAT kind of camp? Why? WHY NOT??! * whines *

Fine.
You want beads?
Fine. I’ll go start my OWN camp. And I’ll use my feathers for something else and I won’t tell you.

If you will send me your email, I will be happy to donate some art supplies to you. They are nearly new and not really used much. Work perfectly. Just let me know. Thanks in advance.

I have some supplies I could send you!
Just send me an address.
Thanks,
Julie Arch

I would love to donate some supplies. Can you please send me an address.
Blessings to you and your work!

Fine art supplies are difficult to find, and even more difficult to find online, that is why along with the fine art supplies and art brushes we offer online.
