Help Me Illustrate and Publish my Poems!
Who am I and why do you want to support my project? I am a 70 plus year old great grandmother and semi-retired healing arts professional, writer, and jewelry maker. As I settle into my crone years my energy is turning more and more to the creative. A while ago, I became intrigued with the idea that I can not only publish some of my favorite poems as greeting cards, but illustrate them with what was in my head when I wrote them.
So, I selected five of my favorite poems with which I want to create
special illustrated greeting cards. Here's an example of artwork for
one of the poems,"Rain Song." This is a temporary image I
put together to illustrate what the final cards are going to look
like.
I need between $1500 and $2,000 to buy the needed photo images from sites such as Shutterstock, to pay for some design help, and to print 250 cards of each poem (for a total of 1250 cards), complete with envelopes.
Here are a few verses of another poem that will be in this copyrighted collection:
"The Poet"
She stood center stage
or paced, quoting rage,
or passion or pride
to this or that side.
Words 'rapped about her head.
She sang about the dead and
bones and things like
thoughts on wings.
...(more verses)
Here's the final verse of "Midnight Tryst"
(more verses)...
Let your hands trace
the legend of love,
and of us
into my skin.
This is an exciting project that I've been preparing for the
past many months. The poems range from love poems to those about my
thoughts and observations--something for everyone. My goal is to sell
the cards individually as well as in packages of five.
Everyone who donates any amount, $10 or more, receives a package of five cards once they are printed. The cards will go to the printers one by one as the design is finished and the funds are available. My goal is to have the fifth and final card printed in early August.
I thank you in advance for helping me launch this exciting project! Please share my campaign with your friends!
