1The whole tale
Once upon a right now, a little artist named Terah painted with everything she had. Even the glitter.
The picture: Terah's painting of a soft rainbow arching across a turquoise sky.Her paintings would not stay on paper. They floated up, up, up, and became the islands of this world.
The picture: Terah's painting of the Earth floating in a cloud of bright pink stardust.Visitors asked to take a piece of the magic home. So each one is made just for them, nothing wasted.
The picture: Terah's painting of a white unicorn with a rainbow mane leaping across pink and orange speckles.After the making is paid for, every last coin flies into a crystal vault with Terah's name on it.
The picture: Terah's painting of yellow sparks scattered across a deep purple night.The vault stays shut for fourteen whole years, growing quietly, like a garden in the dark.
The picture: Terah's painting of a wide brown tree with glowing white leaves.When Terah turns eighteen, it opens at her touch. And the next adventure is hers to choose.
The picture: Terah's painting of the Earth in dark space with sunlight coming up from the corner.
The plain-words version, for grown-ups
Terah Marie is four, and every piece in this world starts as her art.
Her paintings become prints, tees and little extras. Shirts and prints are made when someone orders them, so nothing piles up in a warehouse.
After the costs of making, shipping and keeping this world online, 100% of the proceeds go into a custodial investment account in Terah's name.
The account stays put for 14 years, until she turns 18. Her art today becomes a head start she can choose what to do with later.

- Is this a charity?
- No. It is a family saving for their daughter. Buying a piece is buying art, and what is left after costs is invested in her name.
- Can you tell me how much the account will be worth?
- No, and nobody honestly could. It is a savings plan, not a promise of any return.
