I have decided that I will be running this fundraiser through to the end of January, at which point I will close this fundraiser. I have opportunities to get into conventions in the coming months, but getting into these venues costs money both with securing a booth space and travel expenses. If I can't meet these costs, then I can't attend these events as a vendor or artist to sell my jewelry and grow my business. I'm not well-established enough to be able to try for a small business loan, anything like that is quite a ways down the road, providing I am able to grow my business in the interim. I can grow my business and I will grow it, and I can do it with your help! Any and all contributions are very appreciated, believe me. Chain maille is a passion for me, and I hope to one day possibly make my living doing this ancient art, and also to teach others how to make chain maille. But I need some help to grow this business, please. If you would like to help me build my business so that I can get to more conventions, please check out my fundraiser here:
