Nanopod Studio is donating proceeds from her Nidarian pendants to National Geographic Society Oceans Project. “My origin is from the Terrestrial seas, the oceans of Earth. My work is obviously quite heavily inspired by the beauty found in these waters. Sadly, this beauty is rapidly disappearing and could leave a poisonous, dead corpse hugging the earth. When you purchase a nidarian $100USD is going to the National Geographic Society Oceans Project via Mount Wittenberg Orca. The collaboration between the Dirty Projectors + Bjork. What this means is that not only are you helping raise awareness, helping towards protecting OUR oceans, receive a OOAK piece, you will also receive the Mount Wittenberg Orca album. 7 tracks in either MP3, or Apple Lossless & MP3.”

Lunasa Designs is having her 3rd annual limerick sale is going on now! From August 1st – August 8th there will be a different surprise sale every day. To partake in each sale you MUST write an original Limerick for her – and purchase on the day of the sale! Why does Rebekah have an annual limerick sale? Well, for one – because she realized this was her business and could have whatever kind of fun/ridiculous sale she wanted! And two, because August is a very special month – it is the ancient Irish celebration of Lugnasadh (Lunasa is the modern name), August 8th is her birthday AND my Etsy anniversary. (this year will be 4 years on Etsy)!! See her BLOG for more info. Congratulations, and happy birthday Rebekah!
