Like many voters across America, I am concerned about the direction this country will take in the next four years and have decided to support Barack Obama in his efforts as an agent of change.To do this, I am launching my own grassroots movement as an artist to raise money for the Obama campaign.
I'm calling this the Lantern of Hope Project. In my Portland studio, I am producing handmade paper candle lanterns with the Obama symbol for hope embedded as a translucent watermark. My dream is to see thousands of these lanterns glowing in the windows of homes in every state, culminating with a nationwide demonstration of solidarity on the evening of election night, November 4th.
These lanterns are available for sale at enlightenedpapers.etsy.com for $25 each (including shipping) or $20 each for those who live in Portland and can pick them up. $5 from each lantern purchased will be donated to Obama for America. You can help by purchasing a lantern and by telling your friends, colleague sand others about The Lantern of Hope Project.
Please contact me if you have ideas on how I might maximize my outreach efforts. Light a candle, and shine a ray of hope that spreads across America.
With peace and hope,
Helen Hiebert
