Sunshine Fund
Donation protected
Rob and Maddy have worked hard to build their tiny house during the summer and have survived the winter! Now spring is on its way and with it solar panel season...
--------
We have managed to buy ourselves a deep cycle leisure battery capable of running our satellite internet, charge our laptops, phones and play a radio, but now we need some way to charge it up again.
We have a small generator and a battery charger but batteries do best from being 'trickle charged', that is being charged a tiny bit over a long period of time. Our aspect faces south and we have a clear view of the sky and with solar panel technology the way it is now we can get a charge even on overcast days (of which we have a lot here in Scotland!)
Items we would need are:
2x 100W solar panels
a regulator (and charge controller that will keep our battery nice and happy)
cables & materials for supports
We already have the battery and inverter so we're sort of half way there to off-grid-ness!
Generators are also not very economical or ecological, I don't know the facts and figures but when I go outside and the generator is on it's loud and it's smelly and that must be bad. Solar panels are harvesting clean, green, reneweable energy that's got a big thumbs up from us!
-------
!!REWARDS!!
I'm offering four of my most popular art dolls at a discounted rate in Limited Edition colour schemes as an incentive to help us raise enough to buy the solar panels!
The first reward if you donate just £10 is a Sunshine Coo
Coos are sewn from fake fur, have polypellets for stuffing and are nicely hand-sized. Usually these guys are ginger, like a real Highland Coo, but for the Sunshine Fund we get special Sunshine Coos!
They have golden horns, wee pink noses and are completely handmade by me.
I've also made Ophies available as a reward! Ophies are one of my most popular art dolls, but I don't make them very often. This campaign sees the release of a unique colour scheme!
There are five different species of ophie during this campaign. If you gain a reward that has an ophie in it I'll send you a species at random.
The Golden Ophies have yellow bodies, yellow heads with white markings, golden eyes, sunflower-yellow manes and tailes, and white, yellow and golden wings.
Each of them is hand made by Maddy! I collect the feathers from my chickens and dye them, and the heads are cast resin from my original sculpture. The bodies are 'minky', a super soft short fake fur, and the manes and tails are made from 100% fake fur. They are hand painted, and the bodies also have wire in them so they can be posed.
You can also collect special Sunshine Jackabunnies during this campaign!
Jackabunnies usually sell at £45 or £54 for a custom, so with FREE SHIPPING you are getting a real bargain!
Jackabunnies have cast resin heads, paws and feet, that have been sculpted and cast by me. I also sew the bodies, paint them, assemble them and make them super adorable! Their little arms also can move up and down, so you can pose them into different excitable expressions.
Also excitingly I'm offering Sunbeam Mofs!
Mofs have four arms and a pair of legs, big fluffy manes, adorable eyes and large hand-painted wings. They are sewn from minky, a super soft cuddle fabric, and their hands and heads are cast from resin from an original sculpt.
The wings have interfacing in them so they are stiff and can be posed, and they have steel shot in their legs and bum so they balance properly when sitting.
This colour combination will not be reproduced, and will be kept unique for the Sunshine Fund campaign! So if you like that style you can have one fo £90! Mofs usually sell for £110, so this is a great deal, especially with FREE GLOBAL SHIPPING worth £9.70!
