Hello all!
I hope you're all doing well on the build up to the holiday season. The designs for the final stretch goals have been finalised, and I am super excited to share the previews with them. Please note, some designs may be subject to changes according to manufacturer requirements, but I will try and keep them as true to the original as I can.
Stretch Designs:
First up, the three patches!
- Cryptid Collector : The Loch Ness Monster
- Folklore Fanatic : Vampire Pumpkin
- Mythology Master : Sphinx
On BackerKit, you will be able to add additional sets to your order, along with individual ones.
Secondly, collaborating with CMYKLaLa has been a delight and we are both so excited to share this enamel pin with you.
The pin will be approx 2 inches tall and have two prongs on the reverse for secure fixing. The white hole will also be a cut out!
BackerKit
I am still in the process of setting up BackerKit, it's my first time using the system so I want to make sure I get it all correct. Once it's ready, I will post an update to announce its arrival.
Thank you all for your continued support, I can't wait to make this book a reality. I hope you're all having a wonderful festive period.
- Best wishes, Rach

Hello everyone!
I want to begin with a massive thank you to everyone who pledged and shared this Kickstarter and helped make it a success! Thank you! ♥
We have successfully unlocked all stretch goals! Thank you all so much!
What do you need to do?
Over the next two weeks, you need to make sure your card payment has gone through. There are currently 21 backers who are pending or having card issues, so if you could fix that, then I can guarantee you will get your rewards!
As for everyone else, put your feet up and relax! I will keep you all updated with book progress and artwork updates!
So what's coming up?
Up next, I need to finalise patch designs and the enamel pin designs with CMYKLaLa
- Finish designing the 3 patches!
- Finish designing the enamel pin with CMYKLala
After these are designed, I will drop you an update with the previews!
I have eight illustrations left, the book is currently being read over by the editorial team. Once the book is sent off to the printers, I will update you all on the progress! The aim is to get everything shipped off before Christmas. Currently I am planning on using Backerkit to allow folks to add extra add ons to their orders, but once I've decided and settled on a way to let you get extra add ons.
Thank you all again! This could not be done without your support!

New Stretch Goals
over 4 years ago

Hello everyone!
Thank you so much for your continued support and sharing promotional posts! I'm absolutely bowled over and chuffed to see this project come to life.
Stretch Goal Updates:
As we've met the initial stretch goals, I am happy to display the unlocked tape, and future stretch goals.
First up, we unlocked the following washi tape design which comes with every tier which has stretch goals. The tape is 25mm wide, and 10 metres long, and has been made to match up alongside itself if you wish to create a wider image.
Second up, just tucked away behind the £5,000 goal, a night time cryptid scene. Another seamless pattern with Bigfoot, the Crawfordsville Monster, Flatwoods Monster, Mothman, Nessie, and Fresno Nightcrawlers on.
Future Stretch Goals:
- £6,000 - Unlock a Trio of Patches - 5cm diameter woven patches (woven allow more details compared to embroidered patches). These patches will have three different designs, one for each section of the book. Mythology Master, Cryptid Collector, and Folklore Fanatic - each with a creature in the centre.
-
£7,500 - Unlock Hard Enamel Pin - Myself and CMYKLaLa will design an enamel pin for all tiers which include stretch goals.
-
£8,500 -A3 Riso Print Map - I will create a map of the world with creature locations marked and labelled on the map. This is be a Kickstarter Exclusive, along with the Guest Artist Postcard set, and left over stock will not be sold!
I hope these updates excite you! Comment below if there is anything you'd like adding if we break through the £8,500 mark. I will post again if we reach £6,000 with patch designs and (hopefully) a hard enamel pin design.
If you could spare a share or retweet, I would really appreciate it! You can find original posts here:
Thank you again! I look forward to reading your comments!
Best - Rach!
Base Goal & Stretch Goals met!

Hello everyone!
I want to start by saying thank you all so much for your support so far. I'm updating this a little later than I'd have hoped, but I was at MCM London this weekend, advertising the Kickstarter. I am absolutely chuffed to bits to announce we have passed the base goal and through two stretch goals.
We have unlocked:
- The softback book
- The Guest Artist Postcard Set for all tiers which include stretch goals.
- The softback book has been upgraded to hardback!
I will be advertising the Kickstarter over the next few weeks at Thought Bubble and MCM Birmingham, so fingers crossed we can climb up through the stretch goals. If we begin to approach the washi tape level, I will post designs for you all to see what could be on the horizon.
I just wish to say thank you once again, I couldn't bring this project to life without your support.
Best wishes and many thanks from myself and all the guest artists!
