100% Funded + New Original Art Tier Added: Lady of December Ink and Gold

Just. Wow, everyone! We are funded in 5 DAYS, which is the fastest funding yet for any entry into this pin series! I am exceedingly grateful and honored to all of you who have backed and shared to get us so far so quickly. I can rest a bit easier knowing the Goddesses of Winter are destined to be made. We can now focus on hitting those Stretch Goals for some extra goodies!
New Original Art Tier Added!
As I have with the past pin campaigns in this series, I'll be adding ink and gold original drawings over the course of this campaign! The original bundle I'm adding to the Rewards today features the Lady of December, my Lady of winter light and gift-giving. This ink drawing inspired by her pin's design was created with archival inks and accented with genuine 23 karat gold leaf. She will be matted in white with a black core and will come ready to pop into a frame for display.
A closer look at the original drawing and some of the tools that created it.
A quick 3 minute time lapse of this drawing's creation.
To claim this original, pick the "Original Art - December Ink & Goldd" Reward from the list of Rewards and complete your pledge. You can also switch to this Reward if you've pledged for another. You'll be able to add different pins and prints in the Add On shop which will be available after the campaign has successfully completed.
What if I want to collect more than one Ink and Gold drawing?
I've had this situation come up in the past campaigns where a Backer would like to reserve more than one ink drawing. To make this fair to everyone, I will only allow a Backer to claim more than one original IF that original has not been claimed after 24 hours.
In the event you are able to claim more than one drawing, what you will need to do is pledge to one of the originals you'd like, then manually add the extra cost of any additional originals to your current pledge AFTER confirming your claim with me via PMs. I will then mark the extra drawings' tiers as expired.
Check the FAQ for more details on how to claim additional Originals.
The next Original Art tier for Lady of January's Ink and Gold drawing will be added on Friday, January 3rd, so stay tuned if you'd like to claim her!
Questions? Feel free to drop them in the comments or PM me for the fastest results.
We've funded this project already, but reaching Stretch Goals would be amazing! I'd be grateful if you shared any of the following links to help my project reach its goal (and some of those Stretch Goals!). Remember to leave a comment at any of these posts, if you have the time! Comments help even more than simply sharing:
Thanks again for your support. Let's keep the excitement going!

Stretch Goal 2 Unlocked!
over 4 years ago

As we come into the final days of 2019, we've blown through yet another Stretch Goal! I will now be adding vinyl stickers of the Goddesses of Winter pin designs to all tiers with physical Rewards.
We have just 2 more Stretch Goals to meet now. Keep sharing the word and let's make them happen!
FAQ Updated
I've added another answer to the FAQ about Add Ons. The Add Ons for this campaign are NOT added to your active pledge. Rather, you will be able to purchase Add Ons via Backerkit after the campaign.

1st Stretch Goal Unlocked! + FAQ Update
over 4 years ago
– Mon, Dec 30, 2019 at 11:14:15 AM
Break out the kazoos, we've surpassed our first Stretch Goal yesterday! This means that all three of the Goddesses of Winter pins will have a shimmer enamel accent for that extra bit of shine. Hooray!
Thanks to all who have backed and help spread the word! It's been amazing to see this campaign take off as it has. I'm overjoyed with our progress!
Original Art Still Available
The Lady of December's ink and gold drawing is still up for grabs if you want to help us blow past those next few Stretch Goals! You can find out more about her here.
Where to find the Previous Pins?
Many of you have dropped me a line seeking the previous pins in this birthstone series so I wanted to share the info here as well. (This info has also been added to the FAQ for easy access.)
The Goddesses of Summer pins are ready to ship and can be found in my Etsy shop.
The Goddesses of Autumn pins are currently in Pre-Order and can also be pre-ordered in my Etsy shop.
You CAN add any of these pins as Add On items to this campaign after the final day has passed and you are given access to the Backerkit shop. However, this means that your items will only ship once the Goddesses of Winter pins have been completed and your Kickstarter items are shipped all at once! I recommend that if you are wanting your pins as soon as possible that you order from my Etsy shop instead.
Don't hesitate to drop me a PM if you have any other questions! I personally check this account and answer each one.
Let's keep that momentum going so we can unlock those next Stretch Goals! Here's the information on how to share this campaign. Remember to leave a comment at any of these posts, if you have the time! Comments help even more than simply sharing:
50% Funded 1st Day! + Launch Video
over 4 years ago
– Fri, Dec 27, 2019 at 09:17:38 PM
Welcome, old and new Backers! I'm so happy to report that as of this morning the Goddesses of Winter pins are a little over halfway funded. This is so amazing! Thank you so much for your enthusiastic support.
For those who missed out on my live launch stream, here's the recording for you (complete with my technical fails). I figured it'd be fun to share the initial excitement and a peek at some of the physical items via my webcam! You can watch the live recording here:
We still have a little ways to go to 100% funding, so here are some ways you can help share this campaign:
Be sure to leave a comment if you have time! Adding your own comments helps my posts get more attention than simply sharing. Let me know who your favorite Goddess is or what your favorite design is from this set. What pin design are you looking forward to most (or was your favorite in the past?)
Or if you'd like to download graphics to use to construct your own posts, you can view my Press Kit for this campaign here.
Thanks so much for an amazing first day! I'll have more updates soon once the first of the Original Art tiers goes live next week.
