I just returned from a week-long sailing trip with my dad and arrived not only inspired to write a brand new novel with a mermaid/sailor twist, but to an email with the first look at pins and more!

But first some important information. 

If your pledge failed to charge after the campaign, fear not. You will still get a chance to claim your pledges by completing your survey. Cards won't be charged immediately. But it will get charged when I process shipping and add-ons sometime late September/early October. 

My manufacturer sent me these proofs of some of the pins:

While not the best quality photos, I am thrilled with how they look so far! (We're still missing a couple, but I'll share those when I get them)

I also received my sample derpy & book wyrm blankeys and I am in love! They are not only good quality prints and beautiful, but oh so soft & snuggly!

And last, but definitely not least, the last derpy sticker arrived!
Which one is your favourite?
 

I feel like I'm hitting the ground running since getting back from my trip. But in only 2 weeks my next campaign launches! I pre-ordered the pins, and you are the first to see them!

The first picture is a glow-in-the-dark 2" pin which will have its own tier as well as an add on to the books. The second is the 2 collaborative pins you can claim either as an add-on or FREE when you back both me and my partner! The third picture is the pin I designed for her pin tier.

So save the date & follow the campaign! I'll share a super secret backer update link to existing backers to back early on Sept 3rd. You'll have 48 hrs to claim one of the secret super backer tiers! But these will be limited to the first 50 backers. So keep your eyes on that email update!

Another exciting project I've been working on is my Patreon monthly pin tiers. Perfect for those who love monthly happy-mail.

Starting September 2024 you can join and get one of the limited edition Muse pins! These will be available exclusively through my Patreon. This specific pin design will be limited to the first 250 Muses. After they are gone, I'll design a brand new exclusive to Patreon pin. And they will be the first pin you receive when you join. They will get mailed out the last week of September/first week of October (once I get them from the manufacturer).

Plus, as a Patreon you get early access to all my art as well as some exclusive art.
Important Note: Avoid using Apple pay / the Apple app as they charge an extra 30% on the regular tier prices!)

Well, that's all the exciting news for now.

Here's a couple photos from my trip!

Have a magical week!
Yours in art,
Therena
