And --- we've surpassed our first stretch goal! I can't believe it, you all are amazing!


That means we're getting a BIG and a LITTLE Raccoon Dragon Dream Guardian!!

Thank you for your support and your enthusiasm!

Yay for a big and little raccoon Dream Guardian!!

So far, the dragon with the closed eyes is winning. I'll leave that poll open for about 24 hours to give everyone a chance to weigh in!

Thank you all so much for your support! Thanks to 80 backers so far, we're getting close to the next stretch goal, which is a new little sized bag of holding. For now, though, let's celebrate that we have both the big and little raccoon unlocked!

Wooohooo!!!
SO EXCITED!!!!

Thanks for your patience with the updates so close together!

These campaigns move fast, and sometimes that means information is needed. I sent the last update before getting your input, and that felt wrong. So.....

The raccoon is still in prototyping, which means we can do either the open or closed eyes.

I'd love your input!!

Please let me know which one you like better.

I'll close the poll once there is a clear majority.

Thanks for coming on this wild ride with me.



Thanks,
Brenna

You voted for them first, so they'll be the first to unlock. That means that the new kitty and deer are now stretch goals!

This campaign is a little different than others in that the factory is currently working hard on the prototypes as we speak.  Usually the designs are completely finalized before the crowdfunding launches, so this is new! You get a peek inside the design process, and I hope you like seeing behind the curtain!

What I love so far:
1) The fur is super soft, just like our foxes and bunnies, long and luxurious and totally huggable

3) OMG the TAIL

Here are the photos!



What they're currently working on:
1) Changing the markings right around the eyes to a slightly lighter gray, so that the eyes and nose stand out a little more
2) Making the ears round on top
3) Making the eyes a brighter green
---
It's totally normal to go through several revisions before the final design, and since this factory is AWESOME I have no concerns on the end product. We're getting pretty close, and I am so excited by how adorable and soft this Raccoon will be!

We're SO CLOSE to unlocking the raccoon!!! Who will be the one to push us over the goal?????

What do you think?
Hugs,
Brenna

If you're following pre-launch, you get the new rainbow mandala sticker, which features affirmations around the outside edge. A positive reminder to believe in yourself and don't give up on your dreams!

If you're a previous backer to any of our Kickstarter or Backerkit campaigns, you'll get the new Dragon Kitty with "You are PUUURfect." They're chasing the stars, will they catch one?

Early birds who back in the first 48 hours get a brand new rainbow sticker with "Don't be afraid to let your dreams take flight" on a swirly cloud background. A great reminder for a little extra motivation when you need it.

Early bird, previous backer, AND a pre-launch follower? You get the entire hoard of stickers!! Go you!

This year Backerkit is doing what they're calling "Banner Collaborations." Groups of themed projects are collected under a banner, and if you back three projects from the same banner, you get a bonus sticker from EACH campaign!  Each maker will send their sticker with their individual rewards (so Whimsical Whiskers' sticker will come with the Whimsical Whiskers' package when it ships out, and the others will come from that campaign). We're proud to be a part of the Dragon Realm Banner. This special sticker features a flying dragon, hopefully inspiring you to keep flying.

Also, we're proud to partner with Cultivate Your Mindspace, a small team who creates beautiful and inspiring hard enamel pins. When you back both campaigns, you'll get a bonus sticker from each one. Whimsical Whiskers' special sticker features a dragon with an egg, and reads "Your Greatest Treasure is You."  Add a little positivity and joy to your day.

All stickers are hand drawn, and will be 3'' in size. They'll be printed on 3'' waterproof vinyl, and are perfect for water bottles, laptops, or whatever else you want to put a sticker on!

What do you think of the stickers? I'd love to hear from you in the comments. 

So excited to launch in just a few days!

You'll help decide who hatches first, and the other Dream Guardians become stretch goals. So, let's choose the first hatchling!

Which one do you like best?






We hope you look forward to supporting Dream Guardian Dragon Friends on January 22!  We'll also be running partner campaigns with CultivateYourMindspace, as well as other dragon creators in the Dragon's Realm Banner.  Be sure to check out these projects!  You'll have a chance to score free stickers for supporting multiple projects!

Getting excited over here!!
