Kickstarter SUCCESSS!

Wow. That. Just. Happened.

Almost out of nowhere, I had an idea to build a pyramid and it snowballed into funding and framing. And to be quite frank, it was rather thrilling. Exciting, challenging, and YES! rewarding. It gives me a taste for what could possibly be done with the power of crowd sourcing. Small artisan eco-village AtomFarm always on my mind. But first, a chicken coop.

YOU just crowd-sourced a $1550 pyramid chicken coop, and we'll be working on finishing it over the next few weeks. Thank you to all the supporters, donors, builders, collaborators, artists, kids, parents, dogs, and friends. Stay tuned for more... Imagine what else we can do.

And we've begun building. The pyramid frame was completed by many hands at work the Saturday after December 21st, 2012 - the day of cosmic transition according to the Mayan long count calendar. The day before I literally went through a transition - and I felt the shift. It was palatable.

Cosmic calamity (or so I would believe) arose, washed over me, and then, like a spark, I was through the looking glass, beyond it, alive and well. Emotion engulfed me as I processed wave after wave of galactic frequency.

Over the next few weeks, we'll be completing the chicken coop by assembling the roosting boxes, screening in the free range, insulating the hen house, orienting, setting a foundation, and putting a roof on it.

It was a project of many collaborators - in 30 days, we raised over $1500 with 31 backers, 10-15 builders on site, coffee, community and the cosmos itself.

Each level of support will be returned with a hand made card by post and the appropriate bonus.

• Because you pledged $10, you will receive a card by post with orienting compass. It will guide you to true North. Or it will guide you in the direction you wish to go. The symbol is knowing that by conscious shift, you can change direction... or, change the perspective. Let the compass be a token to remember you have the power.
• At the $25 level, you will receive a hand made cloth patch commemorating the pyramid chicken coop. Use it to mend what was torn. Perhaps the knee of your pant, a satchel, or torn quilt. Whether to repair or not, and also what to repair if so. The choice is yours.
• For $50, you'll receive a custom designed tshirt, made in the USA, screen printed locally.
• $100 top-notch bonus will receive a one of a kind piece of artwork created on the day of building and inspiration afterwards, hand-made by yours truly. The galactic energy flowed from the cosmos right onto my paintbrush, and into your home.
• A nod and thank you to the individuals who pledged 42% of funds with no reward taken - truly a testament to generosity for the sake of generosity. Thank you.

And thank you to all those who shared, liked, tweeted, bleeped, and chirped the Kickstarter project  through all the social media channels.

If a reward is in store for you, I will be contacting you shortly for your shipping information.
