Hello Sea Sprout Friends!

I have officially wrapped up my summer convention schedule, which means my full focus is now on getting your rewards safely to your doorsteps!

Item status
✅ Sling Bags arrived
✅ Shirts arrived
✅ Stickers arrived
✅ Embroidered tags & Hats arrived
✅ Pins arrived

Fulfilment progress 
Almost half of the orders are packed and dropped off at USPS. These folks should receive an email (or two) with tracking details on Wednesday/Thursday. I'm on track to finish packing and shipping the remaining orders by the end of this week! 



Action Required
As a gentle reminder, there is a small handful of folks who have either not completed their surveys or have a card error. Please complete this by October 11th. After this date, your pledge will be considered a donation. Any filled-out surveys after this date will not be fulfilled. 

Thank you all so much for your incredible patience and support. I can't wait for these little guys to make their way to you! For those who missed out, my shop will reopen sometime around the end of this month.

Hi friends!

A gentle reminder that surveys have been sent out and need to be completed. Because two of the larger items have already arrived, I plan to start shipping some rewards before I leave for San Japan in early September. 

This means I will lock orders around August 15th, and shipping costs will be charged around this time.

Here are some updates on items!
✅ Sling Bags arrived & undergoing QA check
✅ Shirts arrived & undergoing QA check
✅ Stickers arrived
🕒 Embroidered tags & Hats are in production (TBD on ETA)
🕒 Pins are in production and expected to arrive at the end of August
⚠️ Fidget Keycaps are no longer in production (explanation below)


Fidget Keycaps Update:
I've been discussing with my keycap manufacturer, and due to some concerns, I've decided to not proceed with them or with keycaps. If you selected it on your pledge, you will not be charged or will be refunded (if the charge goes through). I'm so sorry for those who were looking forward to getting a cute sea bed fidget.

Please feel free to message me if you have any questions or concerns. 

Thank you for your support, patience, and understanding for this project!

We've completed the funding period! Here's what to expect next for this project if there are no delays: 

Please remember to fill out your surveys once that email goes out! If a survey and/or payment process is not completed by October 11th, your pledge will be considered as a donation. Any filled-out surveys post this date will not be fulfilled. 

Here are some sample updates my manufacturer has provided.



Thank you for your support in bringing Sea Sprouts to life!

Hello!

We're 3 days away from project close, and I wanted to share that all items should be available as add-ons! There is a pin set bundle available for backers only.


Additionally, I've been requested to add a pin pledge level so that is available as well. If we hit 3K in funding, All backers will receive an extra sticker of either the eel or shrimp pin design! Let's finish the project funding period strong! 


Thank you again for all the support!!

Hello sprouts!

We were fully funded within 24 hours and I can't thank you all enough for the support!
I've finally gotten some rest and time from Anime Expo, and I'm ready to share the next stretch goal.

At $3000, we will unlock 1.5" gold-plated hard enamel pins of garden eels and shrimp! Here are the current drafts for both designs:


Please note that it may change due to optimal plating and colors.

I've been working on getting hat samples created, so this means the order of fulfilment- totes and shirts will be fulfilled before hats and pins. Here's an updated image of the bucket hats. These will also include straps for you to secure the hats on your head!


Hopefully, I'll be able to start shipping totes mid-August. I've asked my manufacturer to send a small batch ahead of time for my upcoming events. 

Thanks again for the support!
