Hey guys.
Some of you already know this, some of you don’t….but Miguel and I are heading off to India pretty soon.
And before we do, we want to have a party!
So I suggest you all mosey on over to our place this Saturday in the evening time.
When: Saturday, June 26th
Where: 4802 Red River
*If you get lost or have a question, contact Cristen @ 512.731.8544
Also…In case you’re curious, our mission while in India is to teach free workshops about crocheting single use plastic bags into durable, reusable items. It’s our way of promoting recycling and to initiate a dialogue about the world’s over consumption of plastic. In addition to encouraging people to be more environmentally conscious, this skill may even provide a source of income for impoverished communities. And (assuming people in the workshops are interested in making items for profit), we’d like to purchase bags directly from them while we’re there, ship them home, and start reselling them. It’ll be a good trial to see how successful this project can be long term.
You can learn more about the project here: http://bagsbegone.com/projects
Also, Miguel and I recently posted our project on Kickstarter (which is basically a fundraising platform for creative projects and artistic endeavors) and we made a very primitive, but fun video explaining our idea. You can check it out here and you can view my recent update here.
Hope to see you folks on Saturday!
