Updates

Before I get to the sample pics, I need everyone to read carefully about some next steps. For people with failed payments, you have 2 weeks from the end of the campaign to fix your payment. After those two weeks, you will have a second chance to fix your payment during the survey I send out. I will send out surveys on the 26th. In the survey is where you will let me know your color choices as well as add-on choices!

FOR PAY OVER TIME BACKERS ONLY: if you selected pay over time, I will not be able to send you a survey until your payments have completed in a few months. Because of this, I need everyone who chose Pay Over Time to please fill out this google form so I know what counts I need to order: https://forms.gle/WdyncXzJ8v6A9qx78

There are too many of you for me to just guess how many Conpanions I'll need to order, so I need to get as exact a count as I can! PLEASE fill out this google form so I can have accurate counts, and so everyone will get exactly what they ordered :) if I don't get enough answers I will start going through everyone's pledges individually and emailing those who haven't responded.

It's snowing outside so I had to adjust the exposure levels, apologies for that, but here are some more photos of the different colorways!

Which one is your favorite?

Thank you for reading! Don't forget to fill out the google form if you are a pay over time backer!

Hey friends! We have about 24 hours left on the campaign before it comes to a close. This doesn't mean you still can't pledge, however! I will be opening up a pre-order store as soon as the campaign ends where you will be able to pre-order the Conpanion at the campaign price for a little while, although pre-ordered Conpanions won't come with the free enamel pin and free reusable tote bag. So if you want those freebies, get your pledges in now before the campaign ends!

So, you may be thinking, how do I get to choose my color for the Conpanion?? Great question! I have to wait two weeks after the campaign ends to give everyone a chance to fix any failed payments. Once these two weeks have passed, I will be sending out a survey to all backers EXCEPT pay over time backers, where you can choose your color as well as any add-ons you might want. Remember that each Conpanion comes with TWO insert sets: one black set (unicorn comes with white) and one matching set.

IMPORTANT: For pay over time backers, I won't be able to send you a survey until your final payment goes through in May. In the meantime, I will be linking you to a google form where you can tell me what you're planning on choosing in the survey. This is so I can have a better estimate on what kind of counts I need to order. Since there are over 200 of you, that's a LOT of data that I'll be missing out on from the initial surveys, so it's important that you fill out this google form once I send it to you! I will send you a separate link after the campaign ends.

That's all for now! If anyone will be at Katsucon this weekend, I will be there in the artist alley at booth B21 where you can come check out the Conpanion in person!

A tremendous THANK YOU to everyone who has backed this campaign. I truly wouldn't be able to make these without you. Large products like this are so, so difficult to fund out of pocket, so it makes me to happy to see how many of you are enjoying all the different colorways and hearing about how you're so excited to bring these to cons with you!

Until the next update!

Hey guys!!! I'm soooo excited to show you the samples for all the different colorways, they're even better than I imagined they would be!! These photos are direct from my manufacturer, she's going to send them to me today so I'll get them in about a week or two and will send more detailed photos once I have them in hand!

Are you guys as excited as I am??? Aaaaahh they look so good!!! I will be making a few very minor changes on some of these, like the alien insert will be lighter and more vibrant so it stands out better, and the lace on the lavender inserts will be  little bigger. But if you can see, the gold foil on the cobalt insert looks great!! 

We have less than a week left on the campaign, and we're still going strong, so thank you everyone so much for your support! I am so happy I get to make my little idea into a reality!

That's all folks! Every single stretch goal, including the two stretch goals we made after the first were unlocked within the first 24 hours, have been hit! You can choose whichever colorway you want, and each Conpanion colorway will come with three things: regular black inserts (except the unicorn colorway which will come with white), matching inserts, and a matching reusable folding bag! Additionally, the Pay Over Time feature has been enabled, meaning you can take 4 months to pay for pledges $150 and greater if you need the extra time. Thank you everyone for a fantastic campaign, and thank you for supporting a SMALL BUSINESS! We have two more weeks until the campaign comes to a close, so let's continue to share with friends!

Hey guys! I just wanted to reach out to let y'all know the Alien colorway has officially been unlocked :D Additionally, for those who need it, I've enabled the Pay Over Time feature! This splits payments across 4 months, so once payment is complete you'll receive your survey for the campaign.

The next and final stretch goal will be for the reusable folding bags! When we hit this stretch goal, every single CONPANION will come with a FREE matching bag!
