Project Update: May 13th Update
Merch is starting to roll in and it looks fantastic. So far I have the sweatshirts, the tees, the prints, and the Fever Dream Pins. All that's left are the Deepest Spaces pins!
All this means that I get to start shipping! I'm so glad everyone will have their sweatshirts just in time for the sweltering heat of summer. Hopefully everyone will be taking trips to the coast to cool off, so that a light sweatshirt will be just the perfect thing to throw on in the evenings.

I'll be sure to keep you all updated so you know what's happening. And now, here are a few merch photos!
I hope everyone is doing well, and happy May!

Project Update: April 24 Updates
Good news everyone! My screen printer let me know that this project is next up for production. I should have the sweatshirts and tees by the end of the week or early next week.
Other than that, everything else is trucking along. The pins are in their Fill the Wells with Enamel stage, and the prints and stickers are in queue for printing.
Just a brief update today. I hope you all are doing well <3

Project Update: April 15 Update
Everything has been ordered and is in production. The garments are at the print shop. The pins are being enameled at the pin shop. The prints are being printed, and the stickers are being stickered.
Product should start trickling in over the next few weeks. I'll keep you all posted!
In the meantime, for the folks impacted by the extra Stripe charges: Everyone should have received their refunds. If you have not, please reach out to either myself or backerkit and we will get that worked out for you.
That's all for now! Happy April and have a great week. <3
Project Update: Gentle reminder to fill out those surveys!
First, allow me to marvel at the passage of time and say happy spring! I hope that wherever you are you have had at least some spring-like weather that you have been able to bask in.
Second, this is a gentle reminder to complete your survey please! I will be locking orders on Monday so that I can begin ordering product, and in order to do this accurately I will need your shirt size if you have ordered clothing. Many thanks in advance!
Last, I have been informed by backerkit that backers who were impacted by overcharges should be seeing their refunds hit their accounts in the next week or so if they have not seen them already.
That’s all for now! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions, and have a very good Wednesday.
Project Update: Surveys going out today
Just a quick update: Surveys are going out today, 3/11, and will close on 3/25. Preorders will be open during that time as well.
Please take a moment to fill out your surveys so that I can be sure to start product ordering on 3/26. You should still be able to change your address after the 25th, but orders will be locked at that time.
For the backers that were charged twice: It looks like Stripe, the payment processor, was having connectivity issues on the date that we charged cards. Backerkit will be reaching out to those impacted and processing refunds.
That’s all for now!

Project Update: March 5th Update
I just got back from the Oddities & Curiosities Expo in Phoenix last weekend. Whew! It was an incredible show and I was unprepared for just how beautiful the Phoenix landscape is. My friend Annie and I were able to sneak off to the Desert Botannical Garden in between event happenings and holy cow what a beautiful place. I hope to spend more time there in the future.
Project Update: That's a wrap!
I can't wait to send you everything once it's all in my hot little hands!
The next couple of weeks are going to be a processing period. Cards will be charged, funds will move from place to place, the Pre-Order Shop will open, and eventually surveys will go out. I'll be sure to send out another update on here once we get closer to survey time so you know to be on the lookout. Once all that is said and done, ordering product will begin. And then the timelines really start moving forward. Or at least, moving forward in a way that feels like material things are happening.
I'll be sure to update you all regularly with everything that is happening. <3
Again, thank you all so much!
Project Update: Tee shirts are available as add ons!
Just a quick update for you all: I was able to chat with my screen printer and so long as the image size stays the same between the tees and the sweatshirts, they can all count towards the same "batch," which makes everything way way way easier to make tee shirts happen. Hooray!
So! Tee shirts have been added as an add-on option! They are Bella + Canvas tri-blend shirts in black heather. They are available in sizes XS - 3XL. I will collect everyone's sizes via pledge manager after the campaign ends.
Project Update: Metallic print samples are in
Uproad Printing sent along the proofs for the 8x10 metallic prints and the are lush lush lush. The paper is thick and the metallic feature is glinty.
This week I am pricing out a tank/tee add on so that we can get can get some garments made for the upcoming warmer seasons. I also have a skull & tentacle pin design that I think would be a neat add on after the shirts.
In other news, when I am not working on getting taxes together, I am preparing for the Oddities & Curiosities Expo in Phoenix, AZ on March 2nd and 3rd. I will have watercolor paintings, prints, Moon Toad sweatshirts, and a number of these weird little guys that are one of my current obsessions.
If you find yourself hunting for more projects to fund, please allow me to driect you to The Bird Oracle by Shing Yin Khor. Shing is a friend and I have supported many of their projects over the years, from award winning games, Project Pizza, and monthly on their Patreon. I am extremely excited for this keepsake game about divination and multi-level marketing schemes.
That's all for now, folks. Thanks for being here. <3
Project Update: Holy cow we FUNDED!
I am heading into the weekend thinking about what Stretch Goals could look like because holy heck look at us, warmed up and ready to stretch! I have a discussion thread over in the "Community" tab of the campaign, so be sure to head over there and let me know what you'd like to see next. Another pin? A tank top option? Tell me your thoughts.
I'll work on getting some mock ups together in the next few days and then we can get some sweet POLL ACTION happening.
Anyways - thank you. Thank you for being as jazzed about bone art as I am. I cannot wait to be able to send you all such bone things. <3

I hope that everyone is heading into a brilliant weekend. <3
This weekend I'd like to focus on stretch goals, and I'm wondering if the first stretch goal should be another pin (shiny!) or a teeshirt/tank top option for the Fever Dream artwork.
Let me know what you think, I'd love to hear from you!
