unsuccessful THIS time - there is however.....tomorrow

however thanks to all you guys, i realized that this can actually happen, maybe not at this time and not quite this way but i am going to restart this in a month or so
i learned so very much from this
and actually despite not being successfully funded, it was a very good experience.
i discovered i could put together a video without equipment!
i discovered how much thought and research needs to go into something like this (* NOTE: a LOT..... seriously i lived this for about two months prior to launch)
and i also realized that i need a larger social network
i am very blessed that i have you all pulling for me and my work.
i think we're going to all discuss (probably on facebook) what to change for next time
the same way we all discuss how the paintings are progressing and what themes, subjects and projects are next.

i would still  love to see this project fly, maybe not as cards.... but something else common and every day
i was surprised at the amount of backers that were men..... wow!...and not just any men, highly educated men....... that was really a pleasure to see

so i figure that as you folks all watched this develop ......and in a way is sort of your baby too... i guess as aunts/uncles we all should put our heads together on how to next send it out into the world

thank you all so very much
(and maybe i need to paint a few more birds and a few more nests?)



edited to add:
(cause it won't let me comment !!!!)

i think you guys being behind me is why i did the kickstarter in the first place... i don't think i could have done this without you all telling me i could
