BLACK AMBER DICE UNLOCKED!
I wanted to make an announcement for this because earlier today before trying to correct a mistake in one of my rewards, we did infact hit 22k! So THAT COUNTS!
Why if we are back down to 20k?? Well, for a few reasons! 1) because we didn't actually go down in backers/income, at most I lost $800 which isn't a big deal, and if some big backers leave forever, that's ok too, even losing 2k isn't going to make or break this whole kickstarter haha. 2) I'm gauging these stretchgoal numbers for 500 backers (because all 4 out of 4 of my previous KS have hit 500 somehow consistently) which is really expensive because I need to get enough product for 500 backers and left over for my shop, but if we hypothetically stopped the KS right now with only 200ish backers at 20k, I'd need to order a lot less product, not needing as much money, and thus fulfilling even EVERYTHING is perfectly doable! So if we backtrack with less backers, nothing will be relocked or gone, if anything... everything could be UNlocked haha! and 3) we still have half the Kickstarter to go! it's been slightly over two weeks, so we still have just under half a month to earn backers and income, so we are big chill'n! we are in the dead/slow period of the kickstarter, so it's growing at a snails pace but that is PERFECTLY NORMAL! it'll shoot back up in the last 4 days, and especially in the last 72 hours, so I'm, not worried haha
So no one worry about the money on the kickstarter, if for some reason I can't afford something at the end of the kickstarter, I'll pay out of pocket to get that extra push for whatever reward passes the money line. I do this because I love it, I've done it before haha, I'm super passionate about my art, and my product that I design, it's not about money at all, I REALLY WANT to see these items come into reality, so if it means me paying an extra 4k or so out of pocket, I will. 💙😌
Rewards update!
So I mentioned earlier today that the top two rewards had a math mistake in it that overcharges the backers to that pledge by $100 YIKES! Well, I have made new rewards with the word "(Correct)" in the title, so if you are one of those 13 people, or new and are intersted in those rewards, please adjust/select the "correct" version of those rewards oops. I've contacted all 13 of the people that have, and already some people have adjusted their rewards or backed out, which is good (and why the number went down which is fine!)whew! but some people might not see my messages, so worst case scenario, if anyone stays pledged to that reward, I'll just refund them $100 at the end of the kickstarter so no one is overcharged. 👍

If anyone is worried why pledges are dropping fast DON'T WORRY IT'S OK! I'm just correcting something
I made a mistake on my two top reward tiers and I'm just fixing it, Nothing will be relocked, and the Amber Dice are actually unlocked! I'm just asking those that pledged to those rewards to back out temporarily so I can correct the reward, because kickstarter will not let me edit reward teirs once someone has pledged to it. so the monitary number of the kickstarter campaign will go back up once it's all fixed :>
If you pledged to the two top reward tiers please read!
Hi there! I sent you all DMs on KS, and for the few I had emails for (from previous kickstarters) I sent out emails as well. but here's another effort to try to contact you incase you've seen neither.
It’s been brought to my attention that I made a prevalent math error on my two top reward tiers. When I was doing the math I think I mixed up the max things keeping the 5th element in mind when I shouldn't have yet, which then added an additional $100 for the top two rewards. “The 2 Dice set - All 4 pins set - Dice bag” is supposed to come with all 4 dice sets. And then the “Gimme the lot” reward is supposed to come with all five dice sets, and the additional 3 pins for the 5th element (still yet to be revealed) which is why the numbers are the way they are. Which lol is a mistake... the pledge amount should be equivelent to the number of rewards states in the pledge, which is cheaper than what it is... by $100 dollars 8U I DO NOT want to overcharge you guys $100 that's insane.
I’m contacting you because I’m asking you to actually cancel your pledge for that reward temporarily, or lower it to a different pledge for now because Kickstarter won’t allow me to edit a reward tier when people have selected it, so I need everyone who has pledged to “2 Dice Set - ALL 4 Pin sets - Dice Bag” and “Gimme the Lot!” to cancel it momentarily so I can edit the reward, and then, once it’s correct, you may select the reward tier if you like. :)
Seriously so sorry about this! i'll be able to fix it once everyone backs out, then you can select it again and not be charged and additional $100. and if you guys do want the bigger rewards like they were supposed to be, I'll add those too.
wow guys, how? it's been 4 days!

It's been 4 Days!!!! We are already half way there!
Seriously, I'm always so shocked at how much you guys like my merch/art for every kickstarter, but like... I've never made this much so fast before at a kickstarter. we're already more than half way through unlocking the 4 main goal sets between Four elements. I know those numbers climb fast, and have been wowza, cuz at this rate you guys are gonna reveal the 5th element set (Dice/pins/bags) in like a week, hahah like my God.
All I can really say is... thank you guys for liking my pins, and my dice and stuff, it seriously is so encouraging for me to do other dice sets for the future, and explore new kinds of merch instead of sticking to the comfort zone of pins and prints. This helps give me the confidence of try out new lines of merch that I already have ideas to do in the future. Thank you so much. <3
