New Stretch Goals!
over 2 years ago – Sun, Sep 19, 2021 at 04:12:32 PM

Hello everyone! I hope you are all well! 😊

Apologies for how quiet it has been around here! I've been away for the last few days, super overwhelmed to see that the Kickstarter has surpassed 4k now! ;-; Thank you again everyone! I have a few new things to show you today! 

Here are four more pins that are being added to the campaign! A new Anubis pin, a skeleton Lion and inverted skeleton hound and kitty! I've been trying to brainstorm some other products but I didn't want to rush a design so I decided to put that on hold rather than design something that I don't feel is good enough! That said, I hope you guys like the new designs! Each one will be 50mm at its longest length! I've also finished the stickers that will be free with every pledge in this campaign! (You'll get one of each! <3) The campaign will end in less than 24 hours and on Sunday I will be sending out the reward surveys, I will update here when they go out so you guys know when to expect them! 

Thank you all again so much everyone! ;-; I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Lots of love!! <3  

New Stretch Goals!
over 2 years ago – Sat, Sep 11, 2021 at 10:13:39 AM

Hello everyone!! I got some new stretch goal pins to show you! ☺️

Thank you to everyone who voted in the poll, it was super helpful to see what you guys would like to see from this project! Here are the winners: 

So we got Sekhmet, the Lioness Goddess and an Egyptian themed Fennec Fox! Both have already been unlocked and the designs are here! 

For transparency, I would also like to outline the funding goals for the stretch goals - so far I have announced four new pins:

Unlocked at £1500 - Mane Lion

Unlocked at £1700 - Horse 

Unlocked at £2000 - Sekhmet

Unlocked at £2300 - Fennec Fox

I am currently brainstorming what to do next, it may be a new product or it may be the next in the poll que, but either way, more will be coming to this campaign! Of course if there's anything you'd particularly like to see, feel free to drop a comment, I'd love to hear from you! I'm currently thinking pin banners or t-shirts but ... I'll see what I can come up with design wise before I announce anything! 😅

And just... wow thank you all again so much for the support and for allowing me to design even more stuff for this project! I also want to mention that with this project I am planning to finally upgrade my packaging to be as eco friendly as possible, thank you all for making this possible! 

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! ;-; <3 Lots of love!

GUYS!!! WHAT!!!!! EVERYTHING IS UNLOCKED!!!

OOOH BOY I launched this campaign - went and had dinner + had a bunch of stuff to sort out and I come back to this ????? WOW!! I am losing it!! 😭 Thank you all SO MUCH! I honestly wasn't expecting this! I drew these pins during a week when I was really sick and I enjoyed designing them so much (plus helped me take my mind off of how garbage I felt :') I didn't really share them too much so I wasn't really sure how they'd be received / if anyone would be interested in them so I'm so SO happy that you guys like them! ;-;

So... EVERYTHING is fully funded, which is just... incredible!!! ;-;

I actually do have some stretch goals already to go! I've got a Lion and Horse which I will reveal to you all tomorrow! (Its 2am here right now, so I wanna make sure I have the time to get the presentation right! 😅) I'm also working on stickers right now! I've got Bastet finished and there will also be an Anubis sticker - everyone will get a free one of your choice! 

AAAAaa just thank you all so much! Have a wonderful day / night / evening everyone!! I'll be back tomorrow with another update! 💖

Stretch Goals!

Hello again everyone, I hope you've all had a nice day! 😊

So... wow... crazy but, not only have all the original pins been funded but ... the campaign has already gone into stretch goal territory!! Thank you so much everyone, I'm very grateful to all of you and I can't wait to start making these for you all! 

I actually did have a couple of stretch goals ready - I've spent today neatening them up and making them presentable (as honestly, I wasn't expecting to get to this stage!) Both of these are already funded, and the next pin created is already funded and I have opened a poll for you guys to choose which design you would like to see created! 

Here are the Lion and the Horse! Both will be 52mm at their longest lengths with screen print detail! 

And here is the poll so you can help to choose what will go next! Feel free to vote for as many as you'd like! 

https://forms.gle/zn4HPsuLh5xDcFdx5

The choices are between some other representations of various Egyptian gods, more Anubis and Bastet or some more Egyptian themed animals like the Lion and the Horse! I've gone for mostly North African animals but.... also threw in a tiger option too because I just think a black tiger with gold stripes would be pretty fun! 😅 

If you'd like to add on anything you can do so by going to the main campaign page and selecting "Manage my Pledge" I mentioned in the last update that I am working on some free stickers for all pledge levels and I'd also like to make a print for the campaign to! 

For anyone who has emailed me, I will be responding to as many of them as I can very soon! Thank you all again so much for your kindness and your support! Lots of love to you all! 💖
