    What a wonderful project! We would love to be able to make "crap-free" popsicles for our nephew when he gets older. If you ever decide to sell a book of recipes, especially for non-local supporters, please let us know. Best of luck on Little Bee Pops and thanks for the inspiration!

    What an adorable project and video! We just sent out holiday cards with a 4-page "life update" letter to our family and friends. We considered including a postcard so people could send us responses to our letter...because we love getting mail, too! We were too short on time for the postcards this year, but Russ will be doing a woodcut next year that we will use to make the postcards. I tell you all this because you are welcome to promote the idea of holiday card postcard enclosures when you get your Artfire shop up and running. :) Good luck with your Kickstarter! Crystal

    We absolutely LOVE this project! :) Russ is working on his own quilt sewn entirely by hand and Crystal runs a nonprofit handcrafting organization that participates in an annual quilt exhibition in Flint, Michigan. Drew, if you would be interested in submitting a quilt for our 2012 exhibition called "My Favorite Things" please let me know!

    Thanks for responding to our question! We're glad to know that the pencils will likely be manufactured in the United States. We totally agree with the comment below, too! Quality pencils all the way. We're excited to be supporting you, Nathan! Keep up the great work!
