Sorceress -- Haunting Familiars & Guiding Spirits

✨ Oh my goodness - I'm so happy to say - we unlocked the final stretch goal last night!! Advent is now unlocked! ✨

This means all 9 Sorceresses are now unlocked and available to choose from! Thank you so much everyone for helping push us over that final goal and helping to make sure everyone could choose their favorite with none missing from the selection - esp as so many people had voted for Advent 🖤 Her and her sunrise peacocks will be joining the collection! (I love drawing and painting birds - so this one is going to be especially fun to design!)



✨ Advent is the sorceress of the morning sun ✨ Walking past the darkness, she gathers the light to her to begin the new day. Like the glorious sunrise unfurling, her peacock familiars spread their wings revealing all the beautiful patterns and colors of the new day. She gathers the glowing feathers of dawn and like the first rays of morning light, she pushes the shadows back. Like a song breaking the silence, she is the advent of the new day and new beginnings. What joyous beginnings are dawning in your life? What new adventures are illuminating your horizons? What dreams are taking wing as you look into the future?

I haven't had as much time these last two days to finish the last two designs yet, as I had to shift focus to updates and social media and getting the campaign to have the best finish possible. But as soon as the campaign ends, I will be back at work getting all the designs finished - including all the work-in-progress being polished and finished as well :) and not to worry - you will get to see all the designs fully finished before making your selections in the surveys as well.

I'm happy to say, that all the pledges for the 9-pin tier will now get the complete set of sorceresses. If you backed for one of the higher tiers along the way before we unlocked all 9, wanting the complete set, you can switch to the 9-pin tier if you like. I just wanted to give a friendly reminder to those who have almost all the pins tier pledges lol

I also created a Deluxe Tier as well yesterday that includes all 9 Sorceress pins, as well as all the stickers, all the bookmarks, and 5 gold foil prints of your choice - for those of you who want all the treasures! So hopefully, there is just the right number of tiers for everyone to get exactly what they want :)


✨ Sticker Packs! ✨ As requested in the comments, I also went ahead and added a sticker bundle add-on as well :) This bundle includes all ten sorceresses (the 9 unlocked designs, plus the bonus Astronomer) - and also 'The Dreamer' design! With the bundle you get 11 stickers for $25 (instead of $33) - so for those of you who want the whole set of stickers, hopefully this makes it easier to collect them all! 🖤



There are just a few hours left, and I just wanted to say again, thank you so much everyone for all the excitement and support for this project! 🖤 It means the world to me to see my creations connect with people and that they will go out into the world into your lives and bring a little beauty and magic to your life. ✨ So thank you so much for letting me be a part of that 🖤 Thank you so much and love you all! 

With one day to go, I'm excited to have a few (hopefully) exciting updates!! I feel so grateful for how far we've come, which is already past my greatest hopes for this campaign when we set out on this adventure - and so I just want to let you guys know how grateful I am for all the support and so glad to know these sorceresses are connecting with you.

I hope to push a little more in this last day, to try and get Advent unlocked - as the vote was a breath away from being 50/50 for her, and I feel bad for anyone not getting the one they hoped for. And I think it is possible we hit it, but you never know until the end. But I've done my best to get everything as nice as possible for this last day or two:


✨ First, I've decided to get rid of the 'Backer Goals' to unlock sticker designs - and just unlocked all the designs instead 😊 so this means that now all 9 (hopefully 10 with Advent) sorceresses are now available as stickers in the add-on section! So if you were hoping to get a few that hadn't unlocked yet, now you can choose whichever sorceresses speak to you the most.

✨ In addition to the stickers I added to the add-on options, I've also added a bundle for the gold foil prints! You can now get 5 of the gold foil prints for $100 - a buy 4 get one free deal that I usually have for them at shows :) I was afraid of making the campaign too complicated with too many options, but I figured it was better to give you guys a way to make them more affordable instead. So, I hope that is helpful to anyone who has been wanting to get a few prints!


✨ Secondly, I've gone ahead and optimistically added a 9-pin tier for the complete set of pins - with the faith that we can unlock Advent in the next day or two. My hope is that those who want all nine Sorceresses will be able to help make sure we get all nine unlocked.

I've been thinking about what to do on the chance that we don't unlock her - and I would like to try a feature BackerKit has to unlock new designs in the pledge manager and pre-order store. I don't know all the details yet of how to set that up - but I am going to do my best to make sure we get her unlocked one way or another, either during the campaign or after. So hopefully this helps give some peace of mind to those of you wanting to pledge for all nine as well.



✨ I've also made an extra Deluxe Tier! ✨ This tier has all the goodies! It includes all nine pins, plus all ten designs as stickers, all 5 bookmarks, and 5 gold foil prints of your choice - and of course the "Dreamer" iron-on patch. I wanted to give a way for the collectors out there who like to get all the extras, to be able to get a bunch of them at a great price.

I didn't include every add-on I have available, as I think that would have ended up being cost prohibitive - esp with 15 gold foil prints, and 5 journals - but I tried to come up with a bundle that felt comprehensive and a good value for the cost 🖤


I hope these updates and extra options are exciting and helpful! 🖤✨ Thank you so much, everyone!

PS: Also, I made a pretty graphic to show all the designs together that I wanted to share but it didn't fit with all the text lol so for your viewing pleasure: here are 8 of the 9 unlocked Sorceresses. I don't have Exhale ready to share yet, and Advent hasn't been unlocked yet, but you can see how all the others look together as a collection 🖤




🌙 {Exhale & Advent - coming soon! }🌙

✨ Unexpected update :) ✨As I was working today, FedEx showed up with stacks of heavy boxes I wasn't expecting - turns out my journals have arrived earlier than expected! :) So I thought it would be fun to share some photos of how they turned out! I am terrible at photography, so please forgive the the photo quality, but I didn't want to let that stop me from sharing them with you guys! 🖤

I also had a comment asking for clarification on the poem exerpt that each journal has on the spine, so I have included that as well. I hope you guys love how them! They turned out so rich and vibrant!

I was also asked about the text on each of the bookmarks as well, so I put together this little graphic that shows the text more clearly for those of you trying to decide which speak to you the most 🖤




I'm also hard at work on getting the design for our newest unlocked pin, Exhale, ready to share with you guys! And with 48 hours left, I am working hard to share the campaign as much as possible to try and get us to the one last stretch goal, Advent! I'm so hopeful we can unlock her as well.

To help us get there, I am considering adding a 9 pin tier for those who know they want the whole collection - and maybe adding in a tier that includes a bundle of some of the add-ons at a discount - but not sure if that is something you guys would want. If you have any ideas or suggestions for that, I'd love to hear them 🖤 I know so many people were really excited for Advent and I hope we can get her unlocked for them. 

I hope you guys enjoy these photos of the journals <3 

Whew, with just 5 days left in the campaign, I am catching up with all the designs we unlocked lol 😅 I am so happy with how this one is turning out and so excited to share her with you! This work in progress of course still has polishing and refining to be done, but the spirit of her is there. A lot of the big areas of pink and grey will be broken up with more color transitions instead of being one big solid color, but this helps me visualize the overall form before adding in more variety of color and shape. So her final design will have more volume, esp in the fabric. 


This sorceress is found with shadowy soft bunnies. She is a totem of potential, waiting quiet in the dark, like a rabbit - a totem of the potential for all things to grow and thrive 🖤 and the beauty of that which may yet become. She whispers to us to join her in the velvety darkness, to lie down with the stillness and listen for what stirs within us. What moment of peace, what stillness can you gift to the delicate seeds within you that wait to hear the song of the moonlight to sprout? Quiescence whispers for us to nurture our calmness, our rest, like a delicate rabbit that will bolt away if we move too fast. Take care, take time. Take a breath and let the velvet night move around you while you lay quiet.

That leaves one unlocked design left - Abyss - that still needs a preview. I already started working on her today :) I dare not hope she goes as smoothly as this one did, but fingers crossed, I can have her posted in the next day or two as well! 

✨ We are also getting close to unlocking the next stretch goal, Exhale!  :)  We are just under $900 away from $25k! I think we are very likely to unlock her design soon and maybe even the last design Advent, at $29k. I'm super hopeful we can unlock her as well, esp considering that the poll was almost 50/50 for which design to unlock next and I hope we can make everyone happy and get the design they want! :) 

Ok, I better get back to work on Abyss, but wanted to share this update of the newest work-in-progress design with you guys. Thank you so much for all the support and kind words <3 It means so much and I feel so lucky to be able to create these shiny treasures for you guys! :)
