Hi! I'm Venetia, the artist behind ChocolateRaisinFury. I've created 4 successful Kickstarters in the past for Enamel Pins & Metal Bookmarks, and now I am moving across to Backerkit to create a collection of cardigans for the first time, in conjunction with the fabulous Pin&Tonic

Cardigans are a pricey thing to make, so stretch goals are fairly far apart. But if enough people pledge, I am confident we can make it!

Sizes

Each design size will be Small, Large, 2XL and 4XL. Since cardigans can be worn a size larger, I am skipping some sizes to make it easier to reach the MOQ needed for production (each size has an individual MOQ).

The cardigans will be made from 100% acrylic, for ease of washing & retaining shape.

I don't have exact measurements yet because we are still figuring out the pattern - but I should have this information available for you to choose the right size in the surveys after the campaign is finished.

Stretch Goal 1 - Lunar Dragons Cardigan




Stretch Goal 2 - Lunar Dragon Socks



Stretch Goal 3 - Resting Fox




Stretch Goal 4 - Resting Fox Socks

Stretch Goal 5 - Tiger Sweater




Stretch Goal 6 - Lunar Fox


Stretch Goal 6 - More socks?? Pins? Let me know!

If we manage to do the incredible feat of unlocking all designs - let me know what other unlocks youd like to see!!

Please note I have done my best to mock-up the products as best as I can, but the positioning of the final images (on socks in particular) may vary slightly on the final product.

I mentioned this was a collaboration with Pin & Tonic, but you may be wondering how, as our designs are separate from each other.

Well, if you back both campaigns, you will receive a free pin from each of us!

We both based our designs around each other's first stretch goal - so the pin I designed is inspired by Pin & Tonic's Dragon Sweater, and her pin is inspired by my Lunar Dragons cardigan.

Edit


Sample images are to come!

I have already been working with the manufacturer to get the pattern sorted & start sampling prior to the campaign being finished. Pin & Tonic has kindly given me access to her tried & tested manufacturer, so I am confident they can get my designs from paper to real life. 

I've actually requested to get a sample of the Resting Fox first, this is to make sure the gradient effect I am after can be achieved to the desire I want, and if it becomes an issue I will update before the campaign finishes.
