HECK YESSSS
The packing materials I ordered have arrived!
Nearly everything I ordered is ideal for this as well!! The only thing that isn't quite right (my fault too, actually. I didn't read the listing well enough.) is the plastic bags I meant to have accompany the order to help make sure the stickers are not subject to water damage (should It occur).
The bags will find some use here with me but I'd honestly like to look into something more eco-friendly as far as what I use to ship these out with in the future! (I do remember seeing another artist post about bags that were biodegradable, I'm gonna look into that.)
I think I'd like to go ahead and ship these without plastic bags for now, though, so you don't have to wait too much longer for these!
I'm very excited to send these off to you all, and will be doing so within the week!
(I'll be contacting international folk who wished to cover shipping cost after I send it out so you can know how much to send!)
(( I know a few of you mentioned wanted to tip for shipping, so no matter where you live, if you're so inclined to tip, here's my ko-fi :https://ko-fi.com/growlbeast ))parentheses I really appreciate it!
I'll be right back at y'all with another update when they have all been shipped off!

I decided to make this first launch a bit more special, too, by numbering and signing the backing on each of these Holo stickers!
1-32 are reserved for you all here on Patreon!
33-50 will be for sale.
So, that means only 18 will be available WOO. That's gonna be a tight window.
Here's the game plan for additional sale:
It's ON HOLD for now, pending me nailing down the service I want to use to do this.
(sellify, shopify, storenvy, gumroad, squarespace, etsy, just use a google form, etc)
I NEED:
-No monthly fee. (This is because the amount of stickers for sale is too low to cover a fee like this.)
-Low % cuts to the service, or NO cuts (ex: Etsy takes a cut of every sale/Paypal and Stripe also have a processing fee)
-Ability to track/list quantity remaining. (not as important as the others but something very ideal.
If you have any insight on which service/option would be best for me, please comment here or reach out to me! I'd love to learn more!

As always, you all have my eternal gratitude for supporting me here on patreon and otherwise. I've come to meet and further get to know some rather incredible people here and It has remained a positive and encouraging force for my both with my artwork and just my life in general, as well. It's helped my confidence, encouraged me to be more social and made me feel like I have a place. Thank you all for giving me that <3 This first step into merch creation has been incredible.

OH AND
(If you've been peeping our discord you already know this.)
But to reclaim a bit of a bad experience collaborating on a shirt design with another artist a few years ago I want to "adopt" out the shirts I finally got with my artwork that I was owed!!
Keep your eyes peeled next month for a Google doc going over these hand tie-dyed, silk screen printed shirts!!
And check out that cool tile at the place I'm house-sitting!!
