We did it!! The bat pendant is now unlocked and available! I am so happy that we could add this design and help add a little more more bat-positive art to the world. We plan to donate a percent of the profits from the bat pendants to Lubee Bat Conservancy, who is an inspiration for us as a conservation leader for bat research worldwide. Thank you for making this possible!
We're now at the countdown; it’s hard to believe there are less than 72 hours left in the campaign!
Can you please help us get the word out in these final days?
We’ve been able to unlock almost all the stretch goals and only have a few left! We really want to unlock everything - including a potential freebie, campaign-exclusive, mini pin which will open after the earrings. A lot of people wait til last minute to pledge, and the best way to release these final rewards is to share the campaign with your friends.

A warm welcome to all our new supporters, we are so happy to have you joining us on this journey!
Thank you for helping us hit the goal to unlock the soaring turkey vulture necklace, I am so excited about this one! These pendants are now available as optional add-ons for everyone.
Next up for stretch goals is the bat, which is a design I'm thrilled to add to this year's project. When I first started in wildlife rehabilitation, I ended up working with a lot of bats, which really increased grew my fondness for them. A lot like vultures, bats are ecosystem superheroes who need good PR and more positive representation in art and media. We are experimenting with some transparent glass-like enamel effects for the wings of these pendants, and I think they will turn out really eye-catching and unique!
Though I specialize in bird rehabilitation, I don't turn down bats in need, and these are a few of our more recent patients. Both of these brown bats tumbled out of peoples' chimneys during winter and needed help. Here in Minnesota, these species hibernate over winter, and if it gets interrupted they need prompt aid. Bats have a really fast metabolism and can eat a crazy amount of insects at a time; when they become active when there's no food sources available, they can quickly starve. They're very endearing patients and I'm always happy when I can help!
As a big thank you for taking the time to share our project, we are celebrating with a giveaway! Three lucky winners will get some great prizes, including a FULL set of pins from our previous series. This contest is open until 9/20, so go join in, help us get the word out and smash through some more stretch goals, and maybe win some fabulous prizes! You can also join our Patreon if you're not there already, to keep in touch and get an extra chance at an exclusive prize draw. :)

As we hit more stretch goals there are additional earring designs and another freebie (surprise mini-pin(s) to be revealed!) Our success is directly thanks to you when you take a moment to help us share.
I also want to mention another Kickstarter project I was super happy to stumble upon and think you might be interested in too. Calling all corvid lovers!
Crawe! is a beautifully illustrated book about the corvids of Britain and Ireland by UK artist Katie Whittle. Inspired by medieval art and texts, it features myths, stories, and facts about this awesome family of birds. I pledged for a book and can't wait to see it, it looks absolutely lovely. If crows/ravens/jays and their kin are also your jam, go give it a look!
