I remember joking with my pal about how cool it would be if Nightmare Were (the first lil fella I developed) blew up on kickstarter and turned into one of those unfathomably huge 6 figure campaigns. Could not conceive of a reality where that was true at the time(I didn't even have stretch goals LOL) but look at us now!! 😭

I say it a lot, but thank you for tuning in and sticking around-- you make this community tab feel so alive and a joy to check every day!

That said, I was sick much of the morning so I didn't have time to prepare a mini goal update sadly. I have something cute to tide you over though 😜

Will be requesting a tongue for ole' kramps. I want something that's only sewn in at the base so it has some dimension. Can't wait to see it in the round! 

Additionally I've been workshopping some "official" names for the new careweres! So far I've got:

Autumnal Wolpertinger = Winter Wisps Wolpertinger (gotta love alliterations)
Pride Were = Dazzle Heart Were
Krampus = Rancid Heart Beelzebear (he doesn't count as a beelzebear for the purpose of this campaign/voting, just what I plan to lump him in with overall)

Twilight Were, Moonlight Mothman, Fairy Floss Bat, Gutsy Were, Luna Mothman = no change

If you have any other ideas, feel free to share them! 💖

Hope to add some new images to the front page shortly! Just gotta finish editing some photos and then everyone will have their own little turnaround gif 🥰

So today I discovered adhesive fabric (the kind used for wall decals and so on) is actually REALLY cool. The adhesive is pretty tacky but it doesn't leave any residue behind and it won't tear/shred even if you want it too.

This has got me thinking about a similar adhesive for the bandage accessories, but obviously double sided and cut to fit the silhouette of the bandages.

Does anyone have any experience with something like this? I know there's lots of crafters in the community who could probably let me know if this a bad idea before I invest too much energy into making it work for us 😅

One con is it does lose its tackiness after repositioning it a dozen times or so, but this could be mitigated somewhat by including extra adhesive backing. Just a thought! 

Hope y'all don't mind me spamming my own message board here  😅 I have lots of thoughts and you guys always sort me out with your feedback!

So for the bandages I feel like adjustability is super important, and my thoughts right now are to have loops you can thread some elastic or cotton string through.

The question becomes-- is it enough to provide the bandages, and expect folks to provide their own string? Or would you rather the string be provided somehow?

I'm leaning towards provide your own string, just for safety's sake since I know people of all ages enjoy the careweres, but I'm open to ideas!

I also put together a lil prototype to figure out the dimensions lol gotta say its pretty cute!
