Book Preview

The book is taking a bit longer to complete than I initially anticipated, but it is turning out beautifully! I wanted this little book to be something special, not just a plain black-and-white manul with basic information. As you can see from the image, both the background and the font have changed. The color of the page and the symbol on the right are directly linked to the Chakra most closely associated with each stone. 

Shipping: Sense I don’t have the decks yet they will mostly likely ship after the hoildays to avoide the shipping crazyness that happens this time of year. Sadly lots of packages get lost, so it would be safer to hold off on shipping. Now if you need it for a gift please let me know & I’ll try to do my best to get it to you but I can’t promise anything right now. 

Journals came in and they all look great! Think that’s it for now!

Items are coming in

While we wait for the decks to get here items are slowly coming in! Some of the mugs came in and I just got a tracking number for the jourals! 

If there are backers who only ordered items and no deck, if the items arrive first, your orders will be shipped. Otherwise, orders will be shipped once everything has arrived.  Now to open all these & make sure they are all ok. 

If you're getting multiple prints please read

This is a question for those getting more than one print in the same size. If you have only ordered one print or have a package with only one print, you don't have to read this update. For those that have multiple prints, to save on plastic waste, would you be ok with all your prints being in one plastic sleeve or even being together in a large paper envelope (would still include cardboard backing for support to prevent bending) 

Normally, each print comes in its own plastic sleeve with a cardboard backing. But there are a few orders that will have a lot of prints. I don't mind packing them all individually, but I would like to save on plastic waste where I can. So, if you're ok with your prints being packaged together, just let me know. 

Altar cloth sample

A quick photo of the altar cloth sample. The thread will be black to match the fabric. I know a few people were concerned about the ink cracking over time from folding. So, I went with digital printing; this means the artwork will never fade & the fabric is a soft silk-like material. The only downside is the backside is white, but it doesn't affect the artwork. This also means that if I do more clothes in the future, I can now do full color! I thought about changing this to a colored design, but that would delay things as they are already being printed.

Quick update
about 1 month ago – Tue, Oct 15, 2024 at 08:14:12 PM

Sorry for the lack of updates. We got fiber internet and what should have been an easy switch turned into days without internet instead. Anyway here is the statues update:

The box is in proofing stage after some minor changes
Cards are in proofing stage after having to make some changes to the back of the card
Book is in editing stage (some of you that volunteered to help edit have been sent messages & the book has been split into parts for more people to see/edit) 
Altar cloth sample has been made.
All other items are on their way like journals, etc (delayed due to dock strike)

I don't know if the dock strike will effect anything with the deck or not, I'm hoping it doesn't. 

We’re a little behind but I hope to have decks by the end of the month which is the original fulfillment date. So it might be November before shipping starts. I apologize for the delay & hope that the dock strikes won't affect fulfillment.
