100 days more!
Hello to everyone! I am so excited to tell you that I have received 200 Zen Kin® Cousins from people around the world in the first 50 days of Katrina’s Zen Kin® Cousins Project! It has given me such pleasure to have this community of people come together through making art. These Zen Kin® Cousin creators have been very generous with their time by participating in my project. I am grateful to them and I think they are all grateful to each other. It would not be a project at all without their involvement. I simply had the idea and spread the word. It is the participants that make the project a reality.
There may still be some of you out there that don’t know what I am talking about here. It is a project that I have been doing called Katrina’s Zen Kin® Cousins Project. I have made a video instructing how to make a Zen Kin® Cousin and have given permission to those that watch the video and follow along to call their creation a Zen Kin® Cousin.
The creator makes a second Zen Kin® Cousin. One cousin comes to me via mail and the other stays in the creator’s home. I am assembling a “Wall of Cousins” and will share a picture and details of that wall here and on other social media outlets. The project started on February 15, 2021. That was 50 days ago. Today I am announcing my end date. The final day to have the Zen Kin® Cousins to me is July 15, 2021. That is 100 days from today!!!! On August 15, I will have completed all that is necessary to publish the wall and the whole wall will be revealed to everyone.
The Zen Kin® Cousins have been coming in a few at a time daily. Today I received zero and I had decided from the beginning when that day came I would set an end date. I hope that the date is far enough out that those from other countries will still have time to get their Zen Kin® Cousins to me by mail. If you have sent them and have not heard from me by August 1, then please contact me and we will try to see where they may be at that time.
I can’t thank you all enough for participating in this project. I am honored that 200 people so far have cared about my goal of spreading joy and fostering community with this project. I expect many more will join in in the coming 100 days. I appreciate you so very much! Fondly, Katrina
I would live to add another cousin to your wall. Are you still only taking 1 per contributor?
Linda, I have a wall of extras that I will post also. I am including one per creator on the wall but will gladly accept others as extras. I am glad you enjoy it.
Sorry that I haven’t sent mine in due to a pinched nerve in my neck hope to draw one and send iyou soon! Love all your zenkins and there cousins.!
I am so grateful for your comment about loving my Zen Kin® and the Zen Kin® Cousin Project. I hope you feel better soon.
Hi
For some reason I was declined by you today and I am devastated. Never has any of my groups declined or outed me. Can you please let me know why? I just joined your group three days ago.
thank you
Elizabeth Peterson
Elizabeth, There was a misunderstanding. You have not been declined. You are in fact in the Facebook group. I am grateful to have you there. I sent you a Facebook message about this issue. I hope you feel happier that you have always been and still are in the group since you first joined. I appreciate you.
