Kickstarter

Have you ever wanted to know how elisem (Elise Matthesen or LionessElise) makes her wandering wire jewellery?

She's just started a Kickstarter to fund making videos of her methods and process, in an accessible long-term format. (Including done-by-competent-humans captioning)

Pledge options start at $1 (one dollar, not a typo), and backing at any level (including that one) gets you access to the videos for a year. (You can also pick a higher number, of course.) After that year, they'll be available to everyone for free.

There are of course some excellent jewellery and other related perks on offer. She also has some nifty stuff in mind as stretch goals as needed. (I am indeed the Jenett who is her Keeper of Numbers and Money, noted at the bottom.)

She's doing this Kickstarter partly because increasing health issues limit the chances for future teaching (I mean, beyond the current general circumstances) and because, as she says in the video, sharing this stuff is a huge part of the cool part, because of seeing how people make it their own and do new things with it.

If you want more examples of her style of work, here's her Etsy shop.

And here's a Twitter thread with more about some of the backer perks. Please pass along to people you know who might be interested, if you are at all inclined!

Oooh, neat! I might be interested in this, and I'll _definitely_ pass it along to my not-Extremely-Online, jewelry-making friend T.

Thank you for the heads up! I treasure my small hoard of elisem's jewelry that I've acquired over the years - not a week goes by tha I'm not wearing at least one pair of her earrings.

I have notified the person in my household most likely to squeal and potentially support it. They already knew about it, of course, but that's how it is.

Thank you so much
