LAST CHANCE to late-pledge for some of the extraordinary rewards of my Kickstarter campaign, such as this carving of Tibetan calligraphy by Golok Akyung that reads "Spontaneous Perfection." Late Pledge period ends tonight. Check it out at www.kickstarter.com/projects/end...
Stretch goal! To my delight, people are still making late pledges to my Kickstarter campaign. Basically, the more money pledged, the more carvings I can do and send out. If we hit $20,000 I will aim for 12 carvings, instead of 10. Pledge at www.kickstarter.com/projects/end... ! PLEASE SHARE!

Great news: my Kickstarter reached its funding goal at the last minute, to my great relief. I would like to thank everyone who shared and reposted it over the last month. If you let me know your name, I will include it in the acknowledgements of gratitude for the project. Thanks again!
My latest Kickstarter bulletin is that, alas, we are falling behind. We've taken in $12,473 in pledges, but we still have over $5000 before reaching the goal, with 17 hours to go. If you can help, please do so at www.kickstarter.com/projects/end... Please phone a friend! Call for backup!

What happens when your Kickstarter goes viral and an avalanche of pledges comes in? It has happened to me only once, and it wasn’t the experience you might expect. Read the latest episode of my Kickstarter Diaries at www.endangeredalphabets.com/2026/02/26/t...
