Project Update: FINAL WEEK + ADD-ONS

Hi again!

Can you believe it, we're now on the final week of the campaign! As one final push toward the jigsaw stretch goal I've decided to offer the jigsaw as an add-on from now, to see if that will give us the last boost we need. If perchance we don't reach the stretch goal by the end of the campaign, don't worry any pledges that include a jigsaw will have the jigsaw portion of their pledge refunded to them.

A 1000 piece jigsaw measuring 66cm x 50cm includes A4 poster. It's of an illustration by loadofolbobbins of a group of 23 moths of different colourful species flying and perching around a lit light bulb, surrounded by foliage. The foliage and light bulb are all drawn in black, in the top left is a section of trailing ivy which leads to two thin branches, on of which has a Kentish Glory moth clinging to it. The light bulb is hanging in the centre of the image from a woven single light cord and the edison style bulbs filament is glowing. In the bottom right corner of the image is a large leaf with an equally large female emperor moth perched on it, just above this is a series of tall grasses, one of which has a scarlet tiger moth clinging to it. There is also a small clump of grass in the bottom left corner of the image which very slightly obscure a large emerald moth beneath. The other moths include a mint moth, peppered moth, ethmia pusiela, scarce forester moth, barred hook-tip moth, ruby tiger moth, brimstone moth, mother shipton moth, blood-vein moth, cinnabar moth, schreckensteinia festaliella, large fruit tree tortix moth, elephant hawk moth, buff ermine, red underwing moth, hummingbird hawk moth, hypercallia citrinilis, chrysoclistra linnella and the herald moth. All of these are either perched facing or flying around the light bulb.

You can see all the available add-ons for the campaign here: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/loadofolbobbins/marvellous-moths-stickers/add_ons_index#top

I've got a great UK manufacture lined up if we meet the goal who create jigsaw for places like the V&A and other fancy museums. The jigsaw add-on is also at a special discounted campaign price too!

SHIPPING

As some of you may be aware there's been a lot of upheaval around international shipping of late, I just want to reassure you that I'm making sure I'm keeping informed about everything and as it stands everything still looks OK for shipping to the US etc. If anything changes I'll make sure to let you all know, don't worry.

Before I go I just want to give you all a reminder about the cross-collab I've done with my fellow Super League of Science artist Kathryn Garner here are the special sticker freebies you get if you back both our campaigns:

a holographic sticker mock up against a blue notebook. The sticker is of a magnifying glass with a blue handle and withing the glass of it there is close up black outline drawings of moth wing scales. The background of the scales drawing is holographic.

a 80 x 80mm square sticker of an illustration of a Setaceous Hebrew Character moth on a background inspired by leaves under a microscope. https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/kathryn-garner/cell-painting-fridge-magnets?ref=bk-social-project

Her sticker design shows a Setaceous Hebrew Character moth on a background inspired by leaves under a microscope, click here to check out her cell art inspired campaign.

Have a great week everyone!

Best wishes,

Jess
