Decadent Orchard has been fully funded, and all the artwork for the fig pins has been finalized if you haven't seen them yet! 

Thank you so much to everyone who has back this project, it means the world! This collection has been in the works for a long time now, and I'm excited to see it come to fruition.

And for the concerns raised by other members of the community-- yes, I have two prior projects that haven't been fulfilled yet, but are making their way now after a series of unforeseen obstacles creating delays last year. Both should be fully put to rest by the summer, as outlined in the most recent updates for both campaigns.

I have been relatively quiet online recently, as I needed to take a bit of time to prioritize my health and recovery--
I am currently a week and a day out from a very extensive sinus surgery to remove a large fungal mass (a fungal ball known as a 'mycetoma') from my right maxillary sinus, spreading upwards and deeper into my head; this has been an infection that's been physically taxing me and growing unchecked for over a year. I also started a new semester at the same time, and a lot has been piling up so these past weeks have been a period of "I've drafted and prepared so many things but haven't actually put them out in the world yet, shit," and for that I am sorry!

I'm still recovering, and given the nature of both the procedure and infection I'm being very closely monitored by my doctor to (hopefully) prevent a recurrence. Given my complicated history with some prior complications in surgery recovery (which made one surgery seven and left me bedridden for the better part of a year and half) and the nature of fungal sinusitis, severe infection only experienced by the severely immunocompromised, I'm not without concern, but things are looking optimistic (if not very, very bloody).
