Hey hey again everyone!
We‘re headed towards 10k already (waaah), so before we reach that, lemme place a cool little stretch goal there :D

I asked you yesterday about some possible stretch goals, and this pink kitten as well as the little emote/stickers were by far the preferred choice. Thank you everyone for your super quick and helpful responses!
So we‘re going with that for now, this hopefully gives everyone something cute to look forward to without having to spend more to gain something from it (and for me it‘s also easier logistically :D)


Sooo… let‘s get that pink kitty! 

I will keep you updated when I have drawn more stickers, my head is SO FULL OF PUNS already. :D


Have a great weekend everyone!

Hey hey everyone!
I‘m completely blown away! We hit 4k and then some within 2 and a half hours. This means everything is unlocked already. All pin choices are available now so if you were waiting for a specific pin to unlock, here you go!

I think I will wait a bit longer before deciding to add more stretch goals, mostly because this campaign was calculated somewhat tightly and I‘d like to build a bit of a safety budget before spending more on production. And also don‘t want to overwhelm you all with too many choices, we have 22 pins to choose from after all.

Still I want to present some possible additions. These are just some things that didn‘t quite make it into the campaign but they still somewhat live rent-free in my head.

Recolors, e.g. Mycena Rosea for the golden waxcap mold:

- Some of the sketches that didn‘t make it to the final campaign mainly because they were a bit out of scope for this particular campaign

There‘s also the matching filler pin set for the mushroom tea pin which i haven‘t drawn yet.

Alsooo I‘m making these little stickers for the digital reward packs, and instead of making more pins I could also just make more and more of these the higher numbers we reach and I could compile it all into a extra free sticker pack. 

I feel so so honored to have such a supportive community. You are seriously the best! I‘m really damn grateful that you support my derpy little creatures.


Mush love to you all!

Hey hey everyone!
Are you all excited for Pintopia yet? SO many exciting campaigns this time. I want to share a few things with you little by little ahead of time so you don‘t get overwhelmed on launch day. Today‘s topic: freebies! Yay!

There‘s up to four pins you can grab for free from me: Cross Collaboration, Banner Collaboration, Early Bird and Returning Backer. If those words are all nonsense to you, don‘t worry because we‘re going through them one by one!

A cross-collaboration on Backerkit consists of two projects, and if you back both of them, you qualify for a reward. In our case, Meowshrooms is teaming up with Across the Galak-Sea. If you back both projects with a physical reward, each of us is including a free pin. This time we are making a matching pair that is doing a cosmic high five! :D
(These pins will also pair well with so many her pins that they can reach for. Like my stars and moon filler pin set from the Magic Tea Party project.)

A glimpse into Across the Galak-Sea: (click on banner to get taken there)

Banner collaboration is a new feature this Pintopia! It is very similar to Cross Collaboration, but instead of two fixed projects, you have a pool of themed projects, and if you back 3+ of them, you get a reward. We‘re part of the Cat-Tastic banner!

You can browse cat-tastic projects here. There‘s even more obtainable kitties that didn‘t make it into this graphic so do take a look if you want to get maximum cat for minimum spend :D

How to qualify for this freebie: back the campaign and at least two other cat-tastic projects. Please double-check the participating campaigns, as not every cat project is part of the cat banner.
This pin is not purchasable in this campaign, but may become purchasable afterwards.

How to qualify for this freebie: Just back within 48 hours from launch. Easy, right? Sign up to Launch notifcations so you don‘t miss the period
This pin is not purchasable in this campaign, but may become purchasable afterwards.

How to qualify for this freebie: if you have backed any campaign from me on Backerkit, then you qualify to get this pin for free. But don‘t worry if you are new here: you can buy this pin regularly as a pledge/add-on item too, as it is not exclusive. 

I hope you like the freebies and will grab some of them during the campaign! Designing these was fun, as they are a little more stand-alone than the main pins, while still somewhat matching the overall theme of the project.

Just a little friendly reminder: None of my pins will be gone forever after the campaign, even the exclusive ones. They just remain exclusive for a while! So don‘t let them pressure you into backing more projects than your bank account can handle at a time. But that‘s of course up to you :D

That‘s it for now x)
Have a great one!

Hello everyone and late happy new year!
Can you believe it, there‘s just two weeks left before Pintopia launches (and still so much to do for me, lol). The meowshroom samples are on their way to me, and if all goes well, I‘ll have photos of them before the campaign launches :D

In the meantime, I want to reveal the mushroom tea set which you guys requested in my previous project‘s poll (thanks for the great suggestions!)

These aren‘t 100% final yet, I might still have to increase some of the narrower spaces and I might move some spores around if I wake up one day and find myself bothered by some of them lol. But the overall design should be done!

They will be a stretch goal, but really I have no doubt that we will unlock them as we always do x) 

Hopefully next week i can reveal some freebies. 

That‘s it for now!
Best,
Averil
