Dear Lovely People,

Thank you to all of you who've supported this project thus far, either by pledging or by telling people you know whom you thought might be interested; or by blogging, tweeting and all that jazz

The To Be Kept (the book) project is currently 62% funded, at $4,660, which leaves us needing to make up the remaining $2,840 in the next few days. We will not get any of the money pledged if we do not reach the $7,500 goal. Funding for the project ends this Thursday, October 4th at 10:01 am (EST).

In case you'd like a round-up of the available rewards, there are stickers, tote bags, zines, the opportunity to do a collaborative exquisite corpse drawing with me, custom portraits, a year of monthly mail art as well as original etchings, one medium sized painting on canvas, and of course the book itself. All reward categories at $40 and up include a copy of the book.

If you are intending to fund the project, or intending to spread the word about it, please do so now.

Thanks again,
Lauren
