Have Knee, Will Travel

Hi all, Sophia here.  You probably know me through my artwork, but there also a bunch of people who know me because I collect minerals or staff events at Four Quarters Interfaith Sanctuary.  You might even know me as Badger or Mama So. 

I never thought I'd be doing something like this, (not most especially in the midst of the Holiday Season,) but although the stereotypical artist is "impoverished," I find myself to be especially impoverished, thanks to a bum knee that prevented me from working at two of my most profitable vending venues at the end of this past season.

Thanks to the wonders of Modern Medicine, I now have a new knee and am already gearing up for the upcoming festival season.

There is, however, one tiny issue:

Thanks to having to give the end of the season a miss, I have no money with which to reserve booth/table space OR buy mat board OR pay my photographer OR buy ink cartridges for the printer. 

Pile on top of that the fact that while I was still on narcotics after the surgery I spilled coffee on my Macbook, and except for the hard drive, it is DEAD.

Donated funds will likely be used immediately, so I suppose my "how soon do you need the funds" portion of the "Writing Tips" is, like, As Soon  As Possible.  Any contributions will be used to make this upcoming vending season happen!

You all know that art is my life, and I love the wonderful people I meet because of my art.  I don't know what I would do if I had to sit out a season...sitting out Stones Rising was bad enough!

I will be so incredibly grateful for any contributions!  I am offering Reward Levels to show my gratitude!
