We will be developing three more original postcard designs for our Inspiring Quote Kickstarter campaign rewards. In the meantime, the sample tote bag and sticker arrived. Here’s a picture of them with a copy of Keiko’s book Your Writing Matters so you can get a sense of scale.
To read the full update, visit the Kickstarter campaign.
Thanks to everyone who backed our campaign and helped us reach our funding goal and even a stretch goal!
Because the Kickstarter campaign succeeded, we are developing a set of four postcards with inspiring quotes for writers from the book Your Writing Matters by Keiko O’Leary. The postcards feature new original quilled art and calligraphy by award-winning artist Julia Macek, with art photography by visual designer Caroline Sanney. The campaign unlocked a stretch goal, to create bonus 3 x 4 inch vinyl stickers.
Once the campaign rewards are finished and sent out, we’ll announce when the postcards and stickers are available for everyone to buy.
We love sending postcards in the mail, and we’re so excited that these beautiful images are going to be available to inspire writers and creatives alike!
We want to create a set of beautiful postcards with inspiring quotes from the book Your Writing Matters by Keiko O’Leary.
Each postcard will feature a quote in calligraphy combined with custom quilling artwork created by award-winning artist Julia Macek. The set of postcards will include two copies each of four postcards, with the possibility of unlocking more rewards.
If our campaign doesn’t fund, these postcards will never exist. Help us create them by backing at the level that works for you! 😃
Go to the Postcard Kickstarter.
Kickstarter campaigns are all or nothing, so backers won’t get charged anything unless we reach our funding goal to cover the costs of creating new original art and producing the postcards.
