Project Update: Packing, Backerkit Doubling, and New Campaign Info

 Hi, everyone!

I do apologize for the late post, but so much has been going on irl.

One of the main issues was that my fiancé (who helps with packing and shipping… since I don’t drive) had to have hand surgery to remove a type of cyst on his hand, and his tendons had to be placed back where they belong. So, that slowed things down.

We have been working on packing slowly during this time. I’m hoping in a week or two to start shipping stuff out when he thinks he can help carry the boxes of envelopes.

Also, during packing, I noticed Backerkit saying everyone got 2 of Luna and 2 of Artemis pins. After looking into it, for some reason, it doubled up on the incentive pins, but no one was charged for them. So, unless it says 3 or more, I’m assuming it’s part of this issue. I’ll still double-check on things if it seems weird.

On the Moon pins, the manufacturer made more, but we’re currently doing a digital quality check. If you got Moon, we might have a delay in sending those out compared to other backers, but I’m trying hard not to have that happen.

Okay, onto the next campaign!

I talked last time about a display book for the next campaign, and they’re kinda pricey to have made. I also didn’t think they looked great. Of course, that’s my opinion.

A friend helped me come up with an idea… custom shape felt board 3D printed frames. I tested with a planet with a ring shape, though some people think it’s Kirby x_x. I currently don’t have the felt board pieces yet, but this is what it looks like so far:



The felt board is 9mm thick so that both sides can be used. I’m still working on the frame design, so any ideas/suggestions on it are more than welcome.

I’m thinking of doing a cat head outline with rounded whiskers coming out from the side for the next campaign. What do you all think?

The pre-launch and launch party pages are up. I’m getting the plushie prototype worked on now. I’m going to contact my purse and pin manufacturers about prototypes, too. Since each object will have the same overall shape, just various colorways, it shouldn’t take long to make a different variant. So here’s hoping I do better this time.
