Founding "Ars Terra" ~ Please help to spread the word!

[kambriel]

Our good friends Monica (anafae1) and William (the artists behind Faith and the Muse ~ above is a photo Curse took of Monica in an outfit I made for her to wear at their recent tea party performance) have an opportunity to make a dream of theirs come true ~ with everyone's help! For years now, I've watched as they've been working towards the goal of someday founding their own animal sanctuary/natural haven ~ they've learned so much about how to work with nature to make the most of the land and bring the full potential of what it has to offer back to life, as well as how to care for, protect, and nurture the many creatures who have found themselves in need. An ideal parcel of land has become available just outside of Los Angeles, and they are relying on a community spirit to help band together and make it possible for them to purchase it and turn it into something truly special for the future.

Of course, I want to do everything I can to help make this possible for them ~ as quickly as possible while the land is still available. Currently, anything you want to purchase from either my One of a Kind or the Pale Court tribute pages will have 100% of the proceeds going straight to William & Monica for Ars Terra. The only thing I'll need is the $ for shipping, otherwise, I'm basically giving the items away!

If there's nothing on my One of a Kind page or the Pale Court tribute page that you're interested in, please still consider making a donation by following the banner link below. If you can't make a donation (but please try ~ every little bit *will* add up!), perhaps you could mention this in your own journals to help spread the word...

I saw recently with the Phoenix Parade just how quickly we can all band together by doing whatever it is we can ~ big or small ~ to make something magical happen. Monica said it will be that same kind of community spirit which will be needed to carry this dream through as well :)

Thank you in advance for anything you can do to help!

Kambriel,
I would love to send them 50.00 towards the animal sanctuary. It is not alot right now, hopefully there will be more. Can you find out how/where I can directly send this?
This hits home to my heart more than most.
My Dad's best friend was Bill Valiere (famous Canadian) who owned an endangered animal sanctuary.
Growing up, I got to play with Lioness's, panthers, ocelots, snakes of all kinds as well as many other endangered, abused exotic animals brought to Canada and taken out of their environment.
My favorite friend was Baby a 220+ lb loiness whom when I was small I rode around the animal sanctuary.

What a fantastic place that must have been as a backdrop for some of your childhood memories! I'd love to see pictures of you riding a lion ~ I can imagine it so clearly :)
