But here we are on day three and we've blown past the third stretch goal because of you beautiful people. I thought I'd have plenty of time to post about the next stretch goals and sketch the bookmark for that third goal (which was by popular request), but NO. No rest for the wicked. So here's a placeholder:
This is a bookmark I designed for my last campaign, and I'll be doing a unicorn design for this one. I'll post sketches as I go and all backers will get a black and white file to download, print, and color, and all physical backers will get a printed copy of the color version!
The next goal will be a bonus card exclusive to this campaign!
I haven't decided what it will be yet - again, I thought I'd have a few days before we got anywhere near this point! If you have strong opinions about the guide words or the artwork, I'd love to know. You can browse my previous junicorn designs, or suggest new themes. (We're in Junicorn, so I am actually drawing new ones, I'm just a bit behind so far this year!)
Edit to add: and we got halfway there while I was composing this letter!!
I am experimenting with the gold edges for the Companion Guidebook - you can see a test spray that I did at my author Youtube page here: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/R_BrJBwJuRk
I'm a sucker for shiny things, so this will probably be the stretch goal after the magnetic boxes, and it will probably be available as an add-on, because I'd be doing them by hand and can't just fold them into the book costs.
I've gone ahead and set the much-coveted magnetic book box for Stretch Goal #5 at $5500. I had two prototypes printed, one with the tuck box that is our base goal, and one with the magnetic book box. The tuck box already shows a little wear and tear, and it's challenging to get the cards back in it smoothly. The book box I've had rattling around in my purse with my keys for three times as long now and it looks as flawless as it did straight from the press, and it's so easy to get everything in and out. There's also room for a few of those brass keys that I've been throwing into my photos in the box, and plenty of room for any bonus cards we unlock!
One-card draw!
My dear friend, Deirde M. Murphy, aka Wyld-dandelyon, is hosting a free one-card draw featuring A Unicorn Key! <3 <3 Go and request a guide word to answer a question, meditate on, or get a nudge in the right direction. (She has additional readings available for sale and appreciates tips!) Request a card here!
That's all for now, thank you so much for your support so far! I'm unbelievably grateful and giddy!
