I am just inordinately excited by this. I’m a henna artist, knitter of insanely detailed silly knit hats, temari ball maker, and belly dance teacher. I do a lot of small to medium festivals close to my home, but this year I want to get to big stuff far away. The rewards are pretty sweet, from downloading a design book, to having me teach you any other above in a private class, to getting to suggest a new hat and get the first one made. I really hope it does well.

Anyone else who has done Kickstarter, your thoughts on how to make this successful would be greatly valued! And of course, I appreciate anyone who boosts the signal on this 🙂

I think the first advice is that you’re supposed to get mod permission first.
