Tango Art by Trud

Stumbled across this lovely Tango Shoe - Art by Trud at DearDemoiselle all the way from Oslo Norway. You can buy it or another similar beauty at the DearDemoiselle Etsy Shop. I wish I could buy a pair to dance in.

I discovered this gorgeous shoe via Trud's blog: Tango Immigrant

Invest in Tango - Help make this Tango movie happen

Things to know about Kickstarter:

1. Kickstarter is a new way to fund creative projects.

We’re a home for everything from films, games, and music to art, design, and technology. Kickstarter is full of projects, big and small, that are brought to life through the direct support of people like you. Since our launch in 2009, more than 4.6 million people have pledged over $735 million, funding more than 46,000 creative projects. Thousands of creative projects are raising funds on Kickstarter right now.

2. Each project is independently created.

The filmmakers, musicians, artists, and designers you see on Kickstarter have complete control over and responsibility for their projects. Kickstarter is a platform and a resource; we’re not involved in the development of the projects themselves. Anyone can launch a project on Kickstarter as long as it meets our guidelines.

3. Together, creators and backers make projects happen.

Project creators set a funding goal and deadline. If people like a project, they can pledge money to make it happen. Funding on Kickstarter is all-or-nothing — projects must reach their funding goals to receive any money. All-or-nothing funding might seem scary, but it’s amazingly effective in creating momentum and rallying people around an idea. To date, an impressive 44% of projects have reached their funding goals.

“ There’s just something magical about Kickstarter... You immediately feel like you’re part of a larger club of art-supporting fanatics.” — Amanda Palmer, who rallied 25,000 backers to support her album, book, and tour.
