We are done! We’ve raised $3911 toward our goal and have funded so much toward these kits. Over the course of the campaign, I’ve been making a point to update everyone as close to daily as possible, with a few skips here and there where nothing... (Read More)

Final Day!

July 4th - via: kickstarter.com
I mentioned somewhere, at some point, there would be one more sampler. Here it is.  The last one. I picture all of the samplers working best on black, and will likely get a bolt of black 18ct for them.  If you pick samplers as one of your kits, I... (Read More)

Final 48 Hours!

July 2nd - via: kickstarter.com
Let's answer a few more questions I've got recently. Will there be examples of everything offered? Yes!  Some of the kits, like the charms, were very last minute in their addition, so I'm still working on putting all of them together.  The birds... (Read More)

On the topic of seed beads

July 2nd - via: kickstarter.com
There is a non-zero chance that the seed beads may not be ordered at the same time as everything else.  I have been in contact with several sellers, and have consistently run into one of two roadblocks. Either the sellers are incredibly slow to get... (Read More)

Trans Flags Funded! $600 away from fully funding EVERYTHING!

June 29th - via: kickstarter.com
We're so close to getting everything funded, and I've been playing around with some of the new kits we'll be adding.  After figuring out how big 1 kilo of beads is going to be, I've decided we can skip the wait and just add some new stuff right... (Read More)

Loads of new kit types

June 29th - via: kickstarter.com
I've done some fiddling with numbers and where we're at with the kickstarter, and have realised that we can get way more kits out of this than I'd originally though.  Each flag right now has 51 different kits for badges, samplers, charms, and more.... (Read More)

Yesterday was our biggest day yet!

June 28th - via: kickstarter.com
Yesterday was astonishingly successful in getting us toward our goal.  We not only funded seed beads, but I've just woken up to see we're $20 away from lesbian flag designs! I'm not going to have time to update the campaign graphics today,... (Read More)

June 27th - via: kickstarter.com
We have one week left to go and seed beads have been funded, so let's take a look at where we are so far, and what needs to happen.  First, let's answer a few questions I've got recently. When are kits going out to backers? By December, but earlier... (Read More)

Perler Beads Funded!

June 23rd - via: kickstarter.com
Well.  Fuse beads. Artkal, at this point, because of information you can read more about in my Wholesale update. We are halfway to being able to include diamond painting kits, and we have ten days in which to get there.  Last night, I put out a... (Read More)

We have secured a wholesaler!

June 22nd - via: kickstarter.com
We have a wholesaler!  So, what does that mean? In the cost breakdown, the prices I was using were a mix of retail and "bulk" pricing, depending on the item.  I buy a lot of stuff bulk, which is kind of the middle ground between retail and... (Read More)

$125 away form Perlers. So how will that look?

June 21st - via: kickstarter.com
I had really hoped to be able to close off the current stretch goal ladder by today, but if we can't do that, maybe we can at least fund perler beads instead. I'm still waiting on my order for them to be shipped, so I can start proofing and putting... (Read More)

Halfway Point: Cost Breakdown

June 19th - via: kickstarter.com
A lot of people during last night's livestream were surprised to learn that shipping fees paid by backers are reflected in the campaign's displayed total.  In response to this, I did some math on stream and put together a cost breakdown (which now... (Read More)

June 17th - via: kickstarter.com
I woke up about a half hour ago to some awesome news.  The campaign has been selected for Projects We Love!  And then I checked the page, and we've funded the Asexual flag designs.  (Well, we're a dollar off, but close enough for government work.)... (Read More)

PDF Downloads for Backers

June 16th - via: kickstarter.com
Something that had not occurred to me, but which I received a question for is whether folks will be able to get kits and patterns. The short answer is yes.  There are multiple long answers. After the campaign is over, kits and patterns both are... (Read More)

Non-Binary Funded!

June 15th - via: kickstarter.com
About ten minutes after I finished putting together yesterday's assets, I came to grab the link for the page and found that the Non-Binary flag had already been funded!  I had just shut down everything, so I'll be making the new assets in a little... (Read More)

June 13th - via: kickstarter.com

June 9th - via: kickstarter.com
We funded the Bisexual line of patterns during last night's livestream! And then I woke up about an hour ago, and saw we're already $100 away from funding the Trans line! My elves and I are busy making as many proofs as we can, and I wanted to show... (Read More)
