This
series would be a limited-edition of 100 pendants that would be numbered and digitally
signed by you, the artist, and produced by Blend
Creations. Number "0" of the series would be a sample of the finished
pendant that would go to you as a proof. The artist's commission would be $13.50
per pendant for a total of $1350 for the one illustration if all 100 pendants
are sold. The commissions would be paid out per month based on the number of pendants
sold. Each pendant will retail exclusively through Blend
Creations for $67, with $13.50 of this amount going directly to a children's
charity. Half of this donation would be made in your name and half would be in
Blend Creations' name. At this time, we'd really like it to go to UNICEF,
as it is an international children's charity, and the artist would be able to
receive a tax-receipt from the UNICEF
committee of their country. (We're still in the process of getting more information
from UNICEF at this time). Where does the other $40 go? While
Metal for Monsters is an earnest effort to raise money
for charity, it is not a non-profit organization. The costs of: materials (metal,
boxes, engraving supplies), finishing (finishing belts), packaging (boxes), shipping
(envelopes, transportation costs), web-hosting and other administrative costs
would be covered.
When we get enough artist feedback, this site will be
used to promote the Metal for Monsters series with links to purchase the pendants
integrated with the Blend
Creations site (where a shopping cart infrastructure already exists). |
