If all initial stretch goals are reached, what do you want to see more of after that?
If there are any specific color combos you’d like to see feel free to comment them on the poll as well.
I hope you are all doing well! I had a big surprise of more snow this morning after it was like 75 degrees yesterday. 😬 But that just means more work time inside today (which I enjoy very much). 💜
We launch in 4 days! 🥳
I have updated the launch party page to include our Jewels of the Sky if you’d like to meet them!
Give it up for 3 days from launch! We now have a pre-follow sticker reward! Follow the campaign before launch on April 23rd, and get a free sticker with your backing of the campaign! -Thank you so much for all the support we've gotten so far <3
I hope everyone’s weekend journeys went well, going into this week we approach the opening of the toy shop! Black Forest Cake was the winner of the wolf pin theme BUT I am including a waterproof sticker of the runner up Red Velvet Cake wolf for everyone who backs this project that followed it before launch :)
Today I'm sharing with you the holographic sticker versions of the new Warped Ocean designs for the Beasts & Botanicals project! These will be available as Add-Ons, or you can get the whole Warped Ocean sticker set as a Pledge! I hope you like them:
Thanks so much for your feedback on the guitar picks! It's great to hear there are guitar players (and mandolin players!) following Deadly Tangle.
Next up, I'm excited to share the four Fluorescent Keychain designs!
To make the keychains, my drawings will be printed onto fluorescent acrylic, also called live edge acrylic, which comes alive with an impressive glow under UV light (black light) - such as in a night club or UV night at a climbing wall!
Coming from biotech, I knew Crystal jelly (Aequorea victoria) had to be one of the four keychain designs. This jellyfish is found off the west coast of North America and is where green fluorescent protein (GFP) was originally isolated from, the green glow that you so often see scientists engineering into other organisms - there's glowing green silkworm silk on the cover of last month's issue of National Geographic!
Crystal jelly flashes blue to scare away predators, so this is the blue keychain. GFP gives this blue a greenish tinge apparently, so the ribbon structure of GFP is the green keychain.
Atolla jellyfish (Atolla wyvillei) also flashes blue, but I was looking for an orange candidate. As the colour of this jelly is largely bright orange, Atolla jellyfish takes the orange keychain spot.
Lastly, Mauve stinger (Pelagia noctiluca) glows a bluey purple (mauve) colour at night - the Mauve stinger is the pink keychain.
Two designs will be unlocked at the start, and the other two unlocked at stretch goals. Which is your favourite? The two most popular designs will be unlocked first. I made a poll...
P.s. While I'm on the subject of fluorescent proteins, the Discosoma coral (great name!) was where the original red fluorescent proteins were isolated from to use alongside GFP in biotech research (dsRed, if you know them). Discosoma will be a red fluorescent sticker freebie for Returning Backers.
Hello bird lovers, Many of you said you wanted some kind of plush when filling out the survey, so I have designed a Manjuu style charm!
This plush ball has a squeaker inside, plus external fabric wings and a tail! These two designs feature a female and male Budgierigar. Be aware the wings will not be stiff/held up at all- rather, they will be flexible. What do you think of this squeaky Budgie Manjuu? Would you be interested in more like this or perhaps a "pillow style" kind of plush?
