Hooray! WE DID IT --- WE HATCHED A DRAGON RACCOON AND DRAGON KITTY! Yayyyy!!!
Thank you so much for backing the project, I'm so excited that we are able to do both new Dream Guardians!!
Thank you for all the shares, comments and enthusiasm throughout, you are all amazing and wonderful!!
Here's what's next:
Your credit cards have already been charged for your pledge. If your card errors (it happens!) you can double check and correct it. Most of these errors are super easy to fix.
Surveys will be sent in March. This will allow counts to place the orders for the new animals, special fabrics, stickers, and dice bags.
After the order is placed with the factory I'll have a better idea of the timeline for production, shipping, and fulfillment. I'll update you as we go.
As a reminder, once rewards are ready to ship, there will be a future charge for shipping and any additional add-ons (charged together as one payment). You must pay for shipping to receive your rewards. You'll get plenty of notice before your cards are charged, and you'll be able to update your mailing address if you need to do so.
If you've chosen to pay over time, your payments will be due in 4 installments. You won't see your survey until after you've completed the last payment -- so don't worry if you don't see that survey in March. For more information about the pay-over-time option, please reference here: https://help.backerkit.com/article/805-pay-over-time
The other Dream Guardians are super excited that they're getting new friends! It's chirps of excitement, flying around, and general mayhem over here -- they're so thankful for your help in making it happen!
There's still time to vote for your favorite fabric we'll use for the new Bags of Holding. Which one do you like best? The poll closes on Tuesday.
THANK YOU
Thank you again for your support! Hugs, Brenna
P.S. Take a look at my friend's Kickstarter project -- it's live till Sunday at midnight. Nathan is a friend and talented illustrator who creates comic books -- so if you like Arcane Adventures, Magical Mysteries and original art, check out his campaign!
With just a few hours to go in this campaign, I've decided to unlock the big kitty early! If you've been thinking about pledging, now is your chance!!
To recap..... this means that the new Dragon Raccoon -- both big and little -- and the new Dragon Kitty - both big and little -- are getting made and shipped as rewards for this Backerkit campaign!
Also.... I'm funding the new bags out of pocket, which means they are getting made!
We're voting on which color for the new bags. The big ones will come in black or the new color, the little ones in the new color.
And, because I had so much fun designing it, everyone who pledges gets a brand new free bonus sticker!
I appreciate you all so much, and didn't want to disappoint anyone who had their heart set on the kitty!
If you haven't seen yet, there are also also a bunch of special Legendary Handmade dragons, including two campaign exclusive dragons with hand-drawn fabric, and a few more special offerings during the campaign.
With about 3 days left in the campaign, I've added some fun new add-ons! Here they are!
I've added the new bags of holding to the add-on options!
You'll be able to get the new bag in little or big -- so if you choose big, you'll be able to choose during the survey from the solid black or the new fabric. If you choose little, it will be in the new fabric.
That means I'd love your input on which fabric to use for the new bags! See the survey attached to this update to weigh in!
I've also been working hard on a new fabric for inside the wings of the Campaign Exclusive Legendary Dragons.
This means that there are TWO options for these special, limited edition, handmade dragons.
You'll be able to choose your wing pattern in the survey - these are for the Green or Blue versions -- only a few of each will be made!
I drew this fabric, and it contains special affirmations in each one -- things like "loved" "safe" "calm" "wonderful" "amazing" "treasured" -- so you can have a special reminder sewn right into your dragon. These contain green, blue, teal and purple for a special, calm and unique fabric.
The cloak will be double-sided with both of these new fabrics.
I've also added some special Art Dragons to the campaign. These dragons are handmade, unique, and come with all the outfits, plus a special wooden plaque that says the year they were made. These are detailed, collectible, and made just for you.
Also available is a custom art dragon, giving you the option of making something unique and special just for you. Photos are examples, but we will work together to make something unique.
Let's make a special art dragon just for you!
I've also enabled pay over time, which is a new feature, so you can pay in four installments if your order is over $150. (Please note that partial payments will not be eligible refunds.) We're trying out this new feature, I hope it helps!
What do you think of the new add-ons and new fabric? I hope you like them! The handmade dragons are super limited, so get them while you can!
We've reached 100 backers, so that means we're doing the 5 Little Dragon Giveaway! These little ones will be randomly added to 5 physical packages while rewards are shipping out!
Yay!!! So glad to add a little hug for you! I also realized that if I swapped the big and little Dragon Kitty goals .... we've actually already hit the number needed to unlock the Little One!! So I've gone ahead and UNLOCKED THE LITTLE DRAGON KITTY!!
I'm working hard on some brand new add-ons...there are some new Art Dragon options and some fun details coming in the next few days.
Please keep sharing, it's helping us get closer to the big dragon kitty!! I'm so happy we've come so far in so short a time, I'm so grateful for each and every one of you!
With just about 10 days left, let's do a giveaway! When we hit 100 backers, I'm going to do a giveaway for 5 Little Dragons!!
These winners will be randomly chosen after the campaign and the Little Dragons will be added to your physical packages when I'm shipping the orders. Sound like fun? Let's get to 100 backers!!
If you're already backing and your pledge goes though, you'll be automagically entered to win!
Let's GOOOOOO!!!! .....
Also, I'd love to announce a new, campaign exclusive Legendary Dragon-- this dragon will be very special. Offered in two colorways, this dragon is handmade, and I'm going to hand-draw a new design which will be printed on fabric and then sewn into the dragons for the wings, feet, and ears. The wing fabric will be similar to these photos, and contain affirmations to remind you how wonderful and amazing you are!
The main fabric will be one of two color way options, and both of these fabrics are discontinued -- so these are unique, limited, and exclusive to the campaign. Super soft, polyester, cuddly and wonderful, these Campaign Exclusive Legendary Dragons are extremely limited. The color variations in the fabrics mean that each dragon will be unique.
Campaign Exclusive Blue Color
Campaign Exclusive Spruce / Green / Teal Color
These new dragons can be added on to your pledge at any time before the campaign closes. Only a few of each color are available!
I'm also adding an option for a dragon cloak to be made out of this unique new fabric. Any of the BIG SIZE dragons, foxes, cats, bunnies, or raccoons can wear this outfit.
New Cloak for Big Animals - Now Available as Add-On
What do you think? I hope you like the new handmade, campaign exclusive dragons!
Please keep sharing the campaign and telling your friends. The best way for us to unlock the new cat and possibly the deer is by getting more backers. I've updated the campaign goals to reflect the deer as well.
