Hi everyone :) 

I realize its been a hot minute since I posted an update and so I wanted to touch base with you guys real quick, so you know I haven't disappeared into the moonlight. 

There isn't a ton to report other than we are slowly working on the UV layers. Communication with the manufacturer does seem improved which is helping with being able to focus on the UV layers themselves instead of arguing over communication and prices. So though progress is slow - there are less things derailing us from working on getting the UV layers fixed. 

The latest set we are working on are the Scarlet Ibis, Poppy, and Dragon designs - but even though the in latest round we have gotten the dark areas to look nice, we still can't get the highlight colors to show up at all. I have tried again asking them why that is, because if we can figure out why the light colors aren't showing up at all, I could fix a lot of the UV layers a lot faster, but they don't seem to be able to give me any information or guidance as to why that is. Which leaves me back to the trial and error process of redoing the UV layer file over and over and sending it them and waiting for them to send back a photo of how it printed. 

The process is tedious and slow, and improvements seem slow to come - hence I haven't had much in the way of anything exciting to post. But I wanted to touch base with you guys and let you know I am still mired in this process and doing my best to inch forward little by little. 

And again, as I mentioned before, at any time, if the wait gets too long and anyone would like a refund instead, please reach out to me and let me know. I don't want anyone to feel frustrated or like they are on the hook for a project they are not happy about.

And in the meantime, I will keep chipping away at getting this project across the finish line. Thank you so much to all of you for hanging in there with me <3
