How Can You Be a Part of the Pickle Project?

We've been madly tweeting (follow @PickleProject for a Pickle Pic of the day) and Facebooking about our new effort--but finally, here's a blog post about your  chance to become directly involved in the Pickle Project.  Take a look at our video above and learn more about the next steps in our project.   But our next steps won't happen without your help.

Here's the deal:

Kickstarter is a unique online platform for funding creative ideas--including ours.  Click here to go to the Pickle Project on Kickstarter.  Watch the video, read about what we'd like to do, and check out the great premiums we're offering for your support.  I mean, who wouldn't want the official Pickle Project T-shirt, a painted Ukrainian egg or folk pottery?   Even a pledge of $10 brings us one step closer to our goal.

But it's all or nothing.  A unique facet of Kickstarter is that you must make your goal, by a set date, or you receive none of the funding.  So we have 11 days to go, and we're making progress every day--but we need to make more!

How do you pledge?  Just click on the green button that says Back This Project.  You'll  be asked to input your pledge amount and select a reward. From there, you will go through the Amazon checkout process. Note that you must finish the Amazon checkout process for your pledge to be recorded.

If the Pickle Project is successfully funded, your card will be charged when we reach our funding deadline--for us, February 1.  If we don't reach our funding goal, your card is never charged.   Don't have a credit card or want to use Amazon?  Please contact us directly so we can help you.

To date, 65 incredible people from all over the world have supported us.  We're touched and heartened by the great good spirit of friends, families and perfect strangers.  We'd love for you to join them--but don't delay!
