Sea Creature Postcards

Hi!

Great news! The Be the Sea: Audiobook and Hardcover Editions Kickstarter has reached its minimum funding goal already! And you know what the first stretch goal is??? Postcards of my Sea Creatures!!!

Small photos and scans of the first 10 Sea Creatures of the Day for the BE THE SEA campaign
A small recap of the first 10 Sea Creatures of the Day

If the campaign reaches $4000, 4 of my Sea Creatures will be made into postcards. They’d be included in all hardcover reward levels, available as an add-on for all physical reward levels, and included digitally for all backers. I’d be very proud if that happened! Personally I hope the Kickstarter will go far beyond that, of course—my peeks behind the scenes have told me there are more brilliant stretch goals coming up!

Of course, the Sea Creatures you can see in the image above aren’t all of them: there’s still a new one arriving every day until the end of the campaign, and for everyone who isn’t using social media, I’ve made a new page here on my website where you can comfortably see them all together, just one click away! I will update that page regularly.

For EVEN MORE Sea Creatures of my hand, I refer to today’s Kickstarter Update, which was a guest post I wrote!

Thank you so much for sailing along!

May the day be full of fun traditions or marvellous new discoveries.

It’s also the first day of the month, so of course there is a new edition of Paranatellonta! You can read the 369th edition here.

Love,

Cards for the holidays!

Hi!

The Christmas cake is baked and waiting in an airtight box to get its weekly shots of booze before it will be wrapped in marzipan and fondant icing just before its first cut on Christmas Day. Plans are being made for decorations and lights. Cosy meet-ups with friends are happening. And my cards for the December holidays are ready!

I will be selling this handpainted, handdrawn design on folded A6 cards (that is 10.5 x 14.8 cm, when folded) for the holidays! The inside of the card will be blank so you can add your own message to your loved ones.

Table of prices: please feel free to contact me for a price calculation if you can't see the table.

Orders can be placed directly via my Paypal. Don’t forget to specify how many cards you want and whether you want envelopes. If no other address is specified, I will assume your Paypal address is the correct address for shipping.

If you want to place an order of 50 cards or more, best get in touch with me first so we can look into the best shipping option for your area.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or want me to calculate the exact price for your order. Just let me know how many cards you want, whether to include envelopes or not, and your address. (Please don’t forget to include your country!)

I hope my cards will bring a little cheer around the world!

If you can’t get enough of art cards, don’t forget you can still buy my colourful set with 10 different designs from 2023! Take a look and read all about them here.

Here for the books? Remember, if you live in my area, you can support local bookshop Grim by getting my novella The Dragon of Ynys there, and of course small indie publisher Atthis Arts is open for everyone to support. Don’t miss their big announcement today!

I hope you’ll have a cosy, friendly winter!

Hugs,

Minerva
