Stretch Goals:

Stretch Goal #1 - 📖The Fairy Ring Field Journal📖:
That's right! we're bringing back journal's once again, though this time we have a question for you. While on a walk a few days ago, Tokii brought up the idea of having this journal use blank paper rather than our usual dotted. This was to make spore printing with wild mushrooms easier to do with the journal - not that it wouldn't be possible with dotted or lined paper, but that whole discussion brought to our attention that we should probably ask you all what you'd prefer!

We'd been doing dotted paper because it's the middle-ground between lined and blank; suitable for drawing or journaling depending only on what you decide to fill it with. Though if there are more artists among us, or more writers, it would make sense to ask what the preference actually is.

Attached to this update there will be a poll, please share your thoughts by voting and commenting there! :>

Stretch Goal #2 - 🍄‍🟫Popular Demand Shroomies🍄:
We've decided to do a small competition; We call upon the community to request mushrooms they would like to see added to the campaign, and later down the line by around the halfway mark of the funding period we will set up a couple polls for two mushrooms to be decided from the community suggestions, one edible mushroom, and one inedible mushroom. If you have an idea please be sure to share it below in the comments! You may just see it become a pin ;>

Special thanks to Bennett for suggesting Witch's Butter and inspiring this idea!

Other Creators:

Bottled Botanicals by HoloRaindrops:
The Bottled Botanicals campaign offers a wide arrangement of ornamental plants in a variety of differing vases - all in pin form! We loved the cohesive style that this project offers and think that the choices of plants they've included in their array are mesmerizing!

Dungeon Denizens by Abi Stevens Art:
For those of you who have been following us for a while, it will be no secret to you how much Tokii and I adore all things D&D. Abi Stevens' Dungeon Denizens campaign depicts a wide array of popular beasties from that medium and incorporate them into these very unique designs that use nearly all the surface space a 1" mold can offer - super cool!

Figura Botanical by Elm Tree Studio:
When I originally started window shopping and peaking in on our peers' projects I was blown away by Elm Tree Studio's take for the Pocket Change event. Their incredibly ornate pins from this project come in all shapes and sizes from teensy-tiny to small! Using these pins like puzzle pieces one could create their own elaborate displays! Breathtaking work.

Framed Bug Collection by Cathead Pins:
When I was young I used to collect bugs myself, my favorite of which has been included in the Framed Bug Collection by Cathead Pins. I want that cicada and I must have it.

Oddity Apothecary by Marachi Studios:
Last but certainly not least is Marachi Studios' Oddity Apothecary. While we have personal bias to include them in our array of favorites you'll have to excuse them while I hark on these designs. On the topic of designs, Marachi has absolutely knocked it out of the park! their menagerie of trinkets and lovely pastel style has tickled an itch in my brain, and I'm left on the edge of my seat to see more once the campaigns launch!
