We are halfway through the campaign and have unlocked some really exciting things. I also have some great news for EU-Backers regarding my collab project "Zodiac Goddesses" - you can finally pledge to it!!
All pins unlocked
All 20 pin designs have now been unlocked. The last ones to join us were Aquila, Aquarius, Scorpio and Sagittarius. Take a look!
You have to help me though, because I have a hard time deciding how to colour Sagittarius. I want it to be distinct from Monoceros, so no blues. Please vote for your favourite design in the poll at the end of the post!
Collab Update for EU Pledges!
My collab partner "Zodiac Goddesses" by Arcane Moon has figured out a way to offer limited shipping to the EU and UK, that means EU-customers can now finally back both projects! This news comes with a caveat though. While you will definitely receive my collab pin, you will only receive the collab sticker from the Zodiac Goddesses project. We are trying to find a way to work with our manufacturers to figure something out, but we can’t guarantee anything.
The Celestial Companions Stamp washi tape is one of my all time favourite products. Thanks to you I can now not only restock it, but give it a visual update at the same time! The new tape will feature 10 illustrations of the celestial companions, updated to match the new look.
Have you ever made a Zine? I think it such a cool idea! Basically you divide a sheet of paper into 16 boxes you can illustrate and then with just three strategic cuts and some smart paperfolding BOOM - a tiny little magazine (hence the name). It looks so fun, and I am really enjoying planning out the zine and deciding which fun facts will go into it. I’ll be posting the progress here, but you can already add the zine to your pledge.
And even better: If you add the zine to your pledge,you also receive a digital download of the zine as a colouring page! This is exclusive to backers of the project. Colour in the celestial companions in your favourite colours and learn how to fold a zine. Maybe it’ll inspired you to create your own zine!
New Stretchgoals?
Only one last planned stretch goal remains: the colouring book! I made one for my last campaign as well and you can check it out here: LINK. Wouldn’t it be fun to have a second one in the series? I certainly would LOVE to illustrate all the colouring pages!
I don’t want to be too optimistic, but if we do unlock the colouring book, we could even think about other stretchgoals. Is there anything you’d like to see? Tell me!
Here are some things I am considering:
Pin alternates: the fish design for pisces or a raven/owl design for Aquila maybe?
More Pins: we are still missing a few not-animal-based zodiacs, like gemini and virgo.
Prints and Postcards: Maybe you’d like to decorate the wall around your pin banner, would you want postcards, prints or posters? If so what size?
Keychains: In the original collection I turned leo, vulepcula and ursa minor into acrylic keychains. Would you like to see that again as an add-on?
I’d really love to hear from you so sound off in the comments if any of this sounds interesting!
Last but not least, I want to thank you again for making this project so successful! I can’t wait for you to receive all your pledges, I think everything is going to turn out absolutely incredible!
