So there’s been a bit of a misunderstanding about how much money we need to pay for Hannah’s dance classes. I completely blame myself. I should have done some double checking.
But what it means is that we need another $485, instead of $237.
I’m running out of ideas.
I’ve still got the prints for sale. I’m still taking donations. I need more people, more money, more support.
But I’m drawing a huge blank.
So I’m bringing it to you lovely people. Ideas, suggestions, brainstorming. Whatever you’ve got, throw it out there. I’m open to any and all suggestions.
Oh, and here’s what you need if you want to donate money or buy a print:
Option #1:
Some of you may remember my painting, “Ballet Shoes”. It’s been sold for years, and is no longer on the site, but I can make prints of it. (I know some of you have been wanting that!)
The print will be a signed 11”x14” (with border, size is 13”x16”) archival giclee print on Hahnemeule William Turner watercolor paper (trust me when I say, it’s delicious). It is archival, it is top quality, and if well taken care of, will last up t0 100 years. Yes, it costs more than a poster but that’s because it is so much more than a poster.
The print retails for $120 USD + $20 shipping anywhere in the world.
Option #2:
If you want to help, but can’t afford (or for you men out there, don’t want) a print, donations are super welcome. Seriously, even $5 will make a difference.
And if you did want the print, just let me know in the “Special Message to Seller” section of Paypal, and I’ll email you a high resolution PDF so you can print it out at home. 
Option #3:
Dying to help, but your pockets are lined with love and not money? We will so take your love!
Tweet it up, share it on Facebook, tell your friends, tell your family, whatever you can do, we will love you for it.
Did you really want the print too? Email me telling me how you shared the love, and I’ll email you a high resolution PDF of the print as well, for your viewing pleasure at home.
Thank you.
Every single cent raised over the cost of print production will go to Hannah to pay for the dance classes, dance clothes & shoes and costumes for the recital.
If you want to get in touch with Hannah, you can email her at klein_hannah@hotmail.com.
Thank you so much, everyone. It’s amazing knowing that I have this awesome community of people to turn to when I really want to help out a friend.
Welcome to one artist's odyssey
On May 21st, I'm going on a quest. A quest for art, for meaning, for beauty, for truth. I'm picking up my life, packing up a suitcase and heading to rural France to live, paint and study art for the next 18 months.

Sarah, in your previous post about Hannah, you said that you needed $200-something for shoes, leotard, etc. Assuming that this is still part of what you need — is it possible to ask the dance-wear store to donate those items, in exchange for a big thank-you and a link on your blog, or an ad in the sidebar?
just a sugestion: posting details about items needed, color, size, brand etc. (on FB, twitter, craigslist, email, ballet schools, dance stores, blog etc…it’s possible people have some things & are willing to donate-or even make for you. my (modest income) has taught me to find ways to get what is needed without purchasing new. i wish you the best.
