Project Update: We are almost at 3.8k!! New add-on reveals and custom paws!

Hi everyone! I am posting a few hundred early because crowdfunding campaigns always have a plateau period and I really want to get this info out to you, I feel like it's important. The actual 3.8k update will just be about everything included in it actually being live - this is to show what everything I previously haven't previewed looks like! 

Quickly adding that I have turned on "pay over time" (Afterpay) payment options for those who have pledges over $150 (should be an automatic option at checkout if you meet that minimum). I didn't realize it was an option. It isn't available for smaller totals. Now for the proper update.

Second, here are mockups for the new colorways of the cookie-shaped paw badges that unlock at 3.8k:



The freebie (for all pledges of over 5 pins) sticker is about halfway done, I'll share soon!

I also have a surprise - custom cat paw pins! This one I made live already, because it doesn't need to be an "unlockable" anymore. It's available as both a pledge tier and also an add-on, but combined limit between the two is 3 before I make it unavailable. Please read the listing for more info, but basically it's an exclusive rights commission for you to receive 25 pins of a paw design of your own! It will still use the same metal mold as my other pins.



However! This update is not yet done. At $5.3k... we would unlock the cat paw septum rings in 2 colorways!


The septum rings I design are plated, but the plating is thick and durable. They are a hypoallergenic brass and the plating is also hypoallergenic. This means no lead, cadmium, or nickel. For gold, plating is 18k, for silver it's rhodium, for black it's gunmetal. These won't turn your nose green or flake off. Just be sure not to apply salt or anything else corrosive to metal to your face while wearing it to avoid damaging it.

These will only be available as add-ons and not as pledge levels. Unlike the pins I won't offer them yet because it's a much loftier goal, I will make the listings visible once we hit 4.8k!  

If you didn't know, I have actually been getting septum rings made for years now, have sold out of and had to restock multiple designs, and have received compliments direct from piercers who have purchased some from me! Drop (distance from nose to inner center of ring) has varied based on my designs, but for the paws it's about 4-6mm. On my nose it's actually pretty snug, like the silicone nose below.



However, since this is my last year selling online, designs that sell out aren't being restocked anymore.

This is a silicone nose model...I'm sorry it looks so uncanny.


These will be $25/e and are actually discounted for backers, due to opal cost they will be $30/e in stock!! They will come in 16G and faux (faux is what is pictured above and slips right on/in). Each one is limited to 20 each.

I have a poll attached to help decide which 2 colorways will be available for unlock! There's also one live about Martian Paw's metal plating. Thank you!
