Hey there, guys!
So due to my own lack of planning (and impulsively adding more things to the box last-minute…) boxes will not be able to ship out until late May. I just plumb didn’t give my cover artist enough time to complete the special edition cover art, and then I decided I wanted to get some new art for a print or sticker.
My utterly amazing cover artist is hard at work, and the complex background is just about done and the characters themselves are getting sketched! So as long as no major issues crop up, that should be done in another couple of weeks and I can get those ordered!
Then I decided to commission the wildly talented Lexi Esme to do some SFW art for the boxes…a month and half before the ship date. But at this stage the sketches are done and approved and I honestly cannot wait to show off what she’s come up with! SO. SWOONY.
So what IS ready? I already have:
- The custom character-themed candles by Blaze N Rose–which smell AMAZING! Boxes come with the set of TWO 4oz. candles.
- A set of FOUR 8 mL nail laquers from OOO Polish: Elegua (Sam’s hair color), Nok (Sam’s eye color), Oba (Claire’s eye color), and Oranmiyan (The color of the makeup Claire applies before The Breakfast Scene).
- Hydrating rose-scented hand creme.
- All necessary packing materials for the boxes
I purposely chose to work with small independently-owned companies and neurodivergent artists to stay true to my values, and I’m so happy with how these boxes are coming together! I’m really proud that for almost all of the products included I was able to source from BIPOC and/or neurodivergent indie artists/companies for this endeavor. Even if you don’t get the boxes, I strongly recommend checking these companies out!
These boxes are a limited run, with just ten total available (and two are already claimed)! They’re up for pre-order right now on my Etsy shop! I will eventually offer the special edition of the book for regular purchase, but I haven’t decided when that will be just yet.
If you would like to pre-order the box but are unable to afford the price up-front, I’m happy to work out a payment plan! Just email me at [email protected] and we can talk 🙂
