Description Dedicated to "The Super Affiliates" of "The Shelter Project":

Of course our "Super Affiliates" are also "Affiliates" and we have many wonderful HUGE-hearted Affiliates, and more new ones joining our efforts on a regular basis!


The only difference that makes a SUPER Affiliate, are those who have made DIRECT purchases on a any wide number of possible artistic products created by... yours truly all on behalf of these precious animals with needs, and waiting for another chance via adoption, through our shelter, South Coast Humane Society .

Products include, but are not limited to, prints of any, (they don't have to be of animals), images in my galleries, as well as sets of photo greeting cards in the form of stationery packages, stickers, (we can even match them to your stationery choices!), magnets, and a wide selection of custom handmade jewelry: teaphotography.deviantart.com/… .
In the latter, I have sooooooo much more than what is even photographed and uploaded here online, or I should say dA!

I work in or with so many different types of styles, and materials, and so if you don't SEE something you might be interested in, just ASK, because there's a good chance I DO have it, or could create it for you.

I've done several photos of work for individuals and placed them in STA.SH, simply so they could see something there for themselves.
This has worked out GREAT!

I create, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, anklets, wire-wrappred rings, "Friendship Rings" (a type of beaded stretchy ring which is super affordable and they make nice gifts). I make matching sets as well, of either 3 or 4 pieces. I have even been making "hair wraps" to add to pony tails, or bobby pin to your hair, and beaded hair clips. I work mostly with silver, but also do some copper, as well as various cord work... with or without clasps- I put extensions on most all clasps, so on and so forth, etc., and forever...

And remember, for those who already know, and for those who are new, 25% is donated to the animals via "The Shelter Project", and the rest goes back into the various materials for ALL Shelter Project related materials and products.
I do not look to profit.

Since the beginning of 2015, I have been donating closer to 30% on most of everything. This is the first time I have written this down anywhere.

To learn more details about this five year old Project (come August), see INFO. on Profile Page, down Left-Hand side.

~~~~

I don't want to EVER forget my very dear "Super Affiliates" of "The Shelter Project" - (though once an Affiliate, ALWAYS an Affiliate), which is why I take a moment to acknowledge all of them from time to time, because there are a few who've not been on dA in such a long time, and I miss them terribly...

"The Shelter Project" first opened HERE on dA, five years ago THIS Summer, and was actually simply and accurately named by the very earliest Affiliates, themselves. About half of them have made multiple purchases!!  It can be difficult to realize the kind of impact you are truly making when you make an actual purchase- and the fact that it gives me something physical and meaningful to do, which creates the best form of TEAMWORK in this wonderful effort on behalf of helping animals!!!!

~~~~

This was Lazarus' debut photo, with his miraculous story included:



It was taken when he was still at the Shelter, July 17th 2014, just a few weeks after the near death experience.
He came home with us, not long after this, and has thrived so well, ever since. While his birthday cannot actually be known,
he seemed quite right at Xochitl's age, which due to HER circumstances, we knew exactly... so we gave his birthday the same as hers,
5th of May. So he partied right along with his sister last month, and our oldest cat Katie Rose (at 17, who's birthday we know for sure is 6th of May).

Lazarus and Xochitl have been the best sibling kitties, we've ever had in a pair! It was a great decision!!


PLEASE NOTE It is definitely because of people like you, "The Super Affiliates", and other Affiliates who have been direct contributors, or even contributors of Points...  and anything leading to monetary funding,
that Lazarus had the chance he did to survive. It often takes enough personnel, and very expensive measures in medical equipment and medication to save an animal that is in an emergency situation.

And Lazarus is not the only one that has been blessed, to land in the right place when he did.

Of course a humane society does have to also have certain philosophies in place combined with enough funding, in order for the best possible outcome to even have a chance. 

Thank you ALL for being such a wonderful part of everything we are trying to do for our needy lovely animals!!!!!!

What a beautiful wide eyed stare Lazarus possesses. I love the biblical name. He obviously loves the camera. He is very photogenic. I wish I could own him as I always favor white furred animals. This one has such an innocence about him. Thank you for all the kindness you have always shown for these animals.

Hello Melissa dear! I know how you like white cats most. They are quite lovely, it's true, and now we have two white cats in our cat clan. The biblical name truly fit best given the experience he had. He literally had no pulse when he was brought back to life.
He really has a type of nobility or seriousness about him- he's a very interesting cat, thank you for your lovely comment my dear friend!

I think that is so inspiring to give him the name of Lazarus I think it suited the situation perfectly. I had that feeling when I saw the title. What an amazing story. I  must of missed some of this in the description. There are times I do not always comprehend what is read. I do love that one story in the bible when Jesus brings Lazarus back from the dead. This one is special and well worth favoring.

It is really the least I can do... I will continue to remember every Affiliate in some kind of way, and especially every Super Affiliate... for what each one did will always mean so much, not just to me, but MORE importantly to the animals that you helped.

I must acknowledge the Super Affiliates now and again, because there are a few who have been away from dA for a long time...
Basically, I don't ever want to forget them- and the truth is, EVERY affiliate, no matter what they ever did to show some kind of support even once, even long ago, will always mean so much to me, and I want to keep that positive energy alive!

Thank YOU, as ever, as one of my ongoing supporters, and ongoing Super Affiliates. You are very special my friend.

TeaPhotography In reply to Jenny42 [2015-06-21 08:22:07 +0000 UTC]

He does have fabulous, observant, and curious eyes. I'm not being biased, and especially since I have so many other cats, but Lazarus is especially wise and old-souled. He's quite interesting in this way.

I have to say, it has been truly AWESOME getting to know you better though this team effort of our shared love of animals and understanding the importance of helping them... I don't know, Jenny... you've humbled me- it's not easy, though, WHICH I also know that you understand... perhaps I'm feeling this way, because it's been a bad week in the week of helping animals...  and of course we do have those, and it does come with the territory- you run that risk when you choose to become this involved, but... from the beginning when I chose to made this decision in 2008, I have believed it was a kind of calling- like I was meant to do *something* to help, and whatever I've done has changed, grown, and evolved over time-

two general and important things I've realized at this point over seven years later:

1. After everything I've seen and been through, I'm not ready to walk out on this "calling"- I only feel more driven.

2. It's not me, it's us- it's a team. It wouldn't be me doing ANYthing if it wasn't for YOU!
I need an us, a team. It takes a village.

Thank you for being a part of all of it... and yes, I just love it when I meet people who I can tell genuinely love animals as you and I do. It's an awesome feeling!

Thank you for EVERYTHING!!!

That's a good descriptor for him, actually. He acts very noble and regal and serious most of the time- even when he plays hard, he has a very serious look about him.

And of course you are welcome, but as always it's the least I can do... I appreciate you (for many reasons) more than you know!
