9 DAYS TO GO
over 3 years ago – Mon, Aug 31, 2020 at 03:00:39 PM

We're coming up on our last week of funding and we need to make a big push to reach our goal. I'm confident that we can do it and see this book in print. We're 43% funded, with over 200 kind and generous backers, and I can't wait to deliver this book, prints, pins, and all of the other stunning work that went into this project straight to your doorstep.

Please continue to support us! Share what you can, pledge what you're able, and thank you for all of your hard work and tireless support thus far. It's meant the world to us!

Cheers,

Ilinca

15 DAYS TO GO
over 3 years ago – Tue, Aug 25, 2020 at 12:29:51 PM

Hey all, 

We're starting out third week at almost 40% funded with 15 days to go. We're halfway through the campaign but still have over half of our goal to go. I have full confidence that we can make 100% by September 9th, but we're gonna need everyone's help and a sizeable push to do it.

Please continue to share HIRAETH! Tell your friends, tell your coworkers, tell your high school rival that you still have a weird thing going with, Jeremy. Thank you to everyone who has pledged, shared, supported, and been with us every step of the way. Your support means a lot and has been an invaluable part of making this campaign a success. 

The artists have done such an incredible job and I can't wait to see it in print. 

Thank you,

Ilinca

END OF THE FIRST WEEK
over 3 years ago – Tue, Aug 18, 2020 at 12:29:25 AM

So. We've hit the end of our first week and we've already made some incredible progress. HIRAETH is at 32% funded, 150+ backers, and with 23 days left to go and lots of time to make up the rest of our goal. Thank you again for all of your support and efforts thus far. It's been so heartening to come back this strong on our relaunch and see how many people are excited to share and support us and do what they can to help HIRAETH get funded.

So what's next?

We've got a ways to go yet, but we hit 1/3 of the way funded in week one and I'm confident we can not only reach HIRAETH's funding, but also hit a few stretch goals. Until then, here's what we still have on the docket for all of you:

  • a 50+ page book filled with artwork spanning everything from space, to treasured childhood memories, to families and haunted homes, to peaceful moments found in wilderness and cozy moments found in the comfort of your own bed.
  • Available commissions left from HIRAETH's very own Nadjah, Kaylee, Shazleen, Melissa, Cori, and I.
  • A merch bundle filled with prints, pins, bookmarks, and bookplates from HIRAETH's Caroline, Cameron, Maria, Cori, and Ashleigh.
  • Stretch goals that not only guarantee higher artist payouts, but can also be expanded to include new prints, a new pin, and a stunning patch from AJ, Ciel, Lexxy, and Ashanti.

Let's keep this momentum going! Thank you all again.

Cheers,

Ilinca
