As you’ve probably heard (or read), the Naked Truth Tarot Midnight Edition campaign has surpassed 250% funding — all thanks to you!
We truly appreciate your incredible support!
BackerKit will take a couple of weeks to collect your pledges, so please keep an eye on your inbox to ensure there are no payment issues that could delay your rewards when we start shipping.
Based on the poll results, we’re excited to confirm that two extra cards—the Lovers and the Tower from the first edition—will be added to this Midnight Edition deck to make it even more special.
If you encounter any problems, don’t hesitate to reach out to us!
Happy Spring, and thanks for your continuing patience—I'm back with another update!
Deck production is still chugging along and we just got a video of the sample deck from New Titan! Check it out here (link goes to DropBox). The finished product will have some differences (rounded edges and no numbers on the cards) but we are still so excited to see the deck existing in real life!
I'm hesitant to make a new prediction about when we'll starting fulfillment to backers because we haven't received a delivery ETA from the manufacturer yet. As soon as we get that info from New Titan, I'll be back with another update!
Important note: please get in touch with us ASAP at [email protected] if you need to update your address or any payment info—we've gotten a surprising number of declined charges and fraud disputes over the shipping charges and we want to make sure we can fulfill everyone's orders! :)
We are rapidly approaching the day I lock people's addresses, March 27th, so I can get shipping charges onto your orders and we can get moving on with getting these items in your hands in June!
In this project, there are still 51 folks who haven't filled out a survey at all. A reminder that you need to fill out your survey, have a shipping address, and then pay your shipping charges before you'll get any items from this project.
So check your spam folder and your email to see if you got a reminder to fill out the survey just now, as I just pinged those final 51 once more.
Otherwise, sit back, relax, and we'll get shipping figured out soon!
Was lucky enough to have bumped into Seven at GAMA, who gleefully poured the new dice into my hands to gaze upon and enjoy.
Absolutely lovely. We're all going to be very happy very soon.
We appreciate your patience as this thought to be small project has blossomed into an epic campaign.
Today the shipping supplies are arriving at the gallery. While we were gone, half the basic decks also arrived, and shipping will begin promptly.
Please be aware, we have over 400 orders to ship and we are a team of two people and we will work as quickly as we can to get these out to you. We appreciate your support for my work; we couldn't do this without you and are doing everything in our power to proceed quickly and efficiently.
However, we are still waiting on the leather sketchbooks, there have been a few hiccups in that area; we will probably not have those in hand for another month or two. If you have concerns about that, please email us at [email protected]. More than likely your other rewards will ship without it, and the sketchbook will ship at a later date via media mail.
Unfortunately, the printer wasn't able to send all the decks yet because of some technical difficulties. I have the bulk of them on hand to ship. The rest will arrive in a week or two.
LOCAL PICKUP Those of you who would like to pick up your rewards locally, please email [email protected] so we can have 24-48 hours to prepare your order for pickup.
Alright everything is settling down again so I'm zeroing in on this project. Its been unacceptably long but we're still having major production troubles.
So where are we?
Next couple of months, we're focussing in on getting the minor arcana done. Work is already underway.
I have a couple of very rough sketches to illustrate the concept;
I know these don't look like much but bear with me. For the numbered cards, we're going to have one image with ten individual creatures. For each number the right amount of creatures will be coloured/detailed, the rest up to 10 will be silhouettes. Then the four court cards will have one more detailed individual, similar to the major arcana. The Queen card will have a blood moon alternative colour (I can't remember if I promised more than one court card per suit would have an alt, but I will check).
(More work is done but its not really something I can show until its ready to come together.)
First up we're doing the Hoff crab, so named because they have a hairy chest. Amazing. They live on deep heat vents in colonies so large you can't see the rock beneath them. They will get much more detailed art than this paltry sketch, I promise!
We also have the pearl octopus, which live in huge octopus gardens. And lantern fish, which are among the most abundant vertebrates on Earth, although they are much more common in the twilight zone they have been recorded in the midnight zone. Our fourth is undecided, and we're taking suggestions. We do have crow pins for this campaign, so if you make a suggestion and we use it I'll send you a feather.
Orders for the new crab tarot pins will go in soon, we were waiting to add them to the PnP pin order. The bulk of the notebooks and sticker books and stationery is due to arrive this month.
Overall I want to say we'll be getting to fulfillment by Q4 2026 but a lot could go wrong before then. Or right! But I am wary of making promises at this point. Just know I'm working on it as hard as I can.
We're finally in the home stretch with production! There were some expected delays with the Lunar New Year holiday and some unexpected delays with my bank sending payment to the manufacturer, but everything is back on track and we are looking forward to seeing some samples of the deck very soon!
In the meantime our fulfillment partners (my mom and dad, who were a HUGE help with getting my last solo project fulfilled) are getting everything prepped to ship out as soon as the oracle decks are delivered.
Shipping charges for the packages have been calculated based on current USPS rates, and on Friday, March 6th we will be charging cards for shipping and any add-ons purchased through the Pledge Manager.
If you need to make any changes to your address or your order, please send an email to [email protected] and we'll be happy to help!
That's all the updates for now! I'll leave you with some photos of the rewards that are already in hand, and I'll be back as soon as we have new updates on the deck production and a delivery estimate from the manufacturer.
As of today, I have finished merging people's orders backwards, so anyone who backed both this project and the one from May on Backerkit who requested it in their survey, your orders are now merged into one project.
What this looks like: your order on the other project was marked as Fulfilled, and the items from it have been added to your order on THIS project. If you're curious, you can go take a look for yourself to make sure things made it over okay.
I am going to LOCK ADDRESSES on the 27th of March. The goal is to make sure our shipping numbers and addresses are correct.
As of now, we are aiming to have our production finished by mid April, with items to our fulfillment team in China and then picked-and-packed by the end of April for your orders.
April 30th - May 10th, we'll see International (non-North American) shipping starting to go out.
May 25-30th, we'll see the container with the North American orders arrive to the USA.
June 10th, all orders should have been shipped out and, hopefully, in-hand already.
That's it! Chinese New Year breaks end shortly, so we'll see items in production soon, and then it's a fulfillment time where things happen, packages are packed, labels are placed, and then items go places!
Now, I will say these are the dates as given to me by the fulfillment team. The manufacturer doing the dice items may note that the manufacturing could take a little longer, but June to the start of July is still a great timeline estimate.
So that's that, otherwise you'll just be looking for my updates about the shipping charges being added to your orders near the end of March, and I'll be harrassing people who haven't gotten their surveys in. You can always just go on backerkit.com and check your surveys there if you're not sure if it's in yet!
So talk again in March when shipping charges are coming up!
We are happy to announce that the antique decks are inbound with a delivery date of tomorrow.
They had to order more paper for the basic decks, which are in progress, and I expect to get them soon as well.
We appreciate your patience as my husband, and I navigated ordering and prepping these. We are a small team of two, and this is over 400 orders to send out. It will take a bit of time but It will be worth it. Shipping will begin after we get back from Emerald City Comic Con the week of the 16th.
For those of you who are attending Emerald City Comic Con, we will be there in person in the Artist Alley. Stop by and say hello.
with Pintopia 2026 coming to an end, I figured I´d sneak in a few photos of my current pin project. They are already funded and some stretch goals unlocked.
"Cracked & Kind" Enamel pins are inspired by chipped cups and the idea that repair is nothing to hide. Because perfection is overrated
The metal captures the light beautifully and the reflections work really well with the design.
A Stretchgoal called the Frankenstein Cups, Cups mended together form different colors, have already been unlocked:
If that looks good to you, check out all the pins here before the campaign ends!
