FINISHED STRONG -- Post-Campaign and What's Next

It's taken me 48 hours to send out this update because I'm still in shock.
Just before the campaign closed on Friday night we surpassed $20K..
and ended at $21,238 from 260 amazing humans.
Yes, YOU! Thank you, thank you, thank you all! I'm absolutely blown away by your support, enthusiasm and encouragement over the last 3 weeks --- and you kept strong all the way across the finish line! I couldn't have asked for a better community to make this happen. You all are AMAZING.

WHAT'S NEXT
Just about half of you have never backed a Kickstarter campaign before! That's incredible! We are going to make this process as simple and straight-forward as possible for you. Here's a timeline of what will happen next:
1) Your credit card was charged by Kickstarter at the moment the campaign closed on Friday night. There are only 5 of you who need to update your info, and we have already contacted these folks (Kickstarter has too!)
2) Typically, the campaign goes silent for 2 weeks until Kickstarter turns the funds over to the creators -- but because we already have the back-end set up (my husband has been ON IT), and because we're too excited to lean back and kick up our feet, the surveys will be going out THIS WEEK! BackerKit is approving them now, and you should have an email by midweek with your individualized survey.
3) It is in this survey that you will tell us which print images you want, and where to ship them. You'll also be able to add in the cards, the commission fee, or any other items you want. Because this is how we know what you want and where to send it, we need you to fill these out as soon as possible -- we can't send your rewards otherwise! And the sooner they're filled out, the sooner we can get to work! We'll send out another update when the surveys go out to give you any further instructions.
We will continue to update you as we go through this process, but if you have any questions send me a message here through Kickstarter or email me at [email protected]. You can also keep up with project happenings on Instagram.

I absolutely cannot wait to get these into your hands. You all have been an absolute dream and..
I'm honored and privileged to do this project with and for humans like you!
Talk to you soon!

THANK YOU!
Thank you for joining this project and supporting us this far! All of your small pledges added together to bring in $347 at this point! That's amazing!!!
Since we have only 30 hours left in the campaign, I wanted to update you all on what this means for you! When the campaign ends, if you are still at the "Thank You!" tier, you will be eligible for Qty: 1 digital download of any enneagram painting for use as a phone wallpaper!
If you want to get any physical prints, including the free Enneagram Symbol print, you will need to upgrade to a tier with shippable rewards ($35+) before the campaign closes, tomorrow (Friday) night at 7pm EST.
Otherwise, you'll be able to pick which image you want for your phone wallpaper when we send out surveys in the next week or so -- and you'll get to have this reminder with you always!
Thank you again so much for joining this campaign and championing it with your voices!
You are wonderful, and I'm so glad I get to do this with and for humans like you!

WE'VE PASSED THE 15K STRETCH GOAL!!
almost 5 years ago

What a WHIRLWIND!
In the last NINE hours you guys shared, spread the word, and SHOWED UP,
shooting us far past our 15K stretch goal!!
What an INCREDIBLE way to kick off out last 48 hours on Kickstarter!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN!?
That's right!
I am opening the option for you to commission a CUSTOM DOUBLE-EXPOSURE, with any landscapes you choose! These are surprisingly time-consuming original creations using a digital technique to layer the paintings I created. Each one takes a few hours to perfect -- longer than it takes to paint it in the first place!
Here's a time-lapse of the **first half** of a combination of 1w9 and 7w8:
Why those types? This is where we get into some of the fun of this idea. Here are two of the many implementations of this:
A CUSTOM DOUBLE-EXPOSURE FOR YOUR RELATIONSHIP
That's right. I showed a 1w9 and 7w8 in the double-exposure process, because that's what my husband and I are!
Man, we're so beautiful together!
This project began because I want each of you to be able to see just how beautiful you are. With all of the challenges, fears, and stresses you face, your path is beautiful! Your soul is so unique and vibrant and lovely.
And what an amazing way to carry on this goal -- to show you how beautiful your unique relationship is! It's the combination of two completely different paths. You've chosen to walk this life together, but what exactly does it mean to merge those journeys? You create an entirely new landscape together, pushing through your weaknesses and leaning into each other's strengths. And this is one way to celebrate that!
A CUSTOM DEPICTION OF YOUR TRI-TYPE
I won't go into this too much, but if you know tri-type theory, and identify better with your tri-type, you could use this to get your own custom inner landscape depicted! For example, a 1-3-5:
There are so many different implementations of this double-exposure concept, and I'm excited to be able to open this opportunity!
"HOW DO I GET THESE?"
The commission fee is $185, which pays for working one-on-one with me to perfect your custom painting of 2-5 overlapped landscapes. Again, this is less than my regular commission fee, because I really want to make these accessible to you all.
Here's how to get your commission spot:
- If you have backed at a tier for one print, or a bundle of two, you can commission a custom piece to be one of those prints. (EX: You want a custom One & Seven together as your only print, or you want One and a custom tritype as your two prints.) You can add the $185 into the pledge amount onto your current tier now.
- If you've backed for one print, or a bundle of two, and want to get this commission **in addition** to those prints (EX. You want One, Seven, and a custom One & Seven together) you will need to purchase a third print also. You can add the custom fee of $185 now, and purchase the additional print in the add-on store, or wait and add both then. A reminder: the price per print is cheapest in these bundles, so if you're getting multiples you want to stay in your bundle tier.
- If you're backed at a tier with no prints (the cards tier, for example) you will need to add the commission fee and the print +shipping to your reward. We suggest you move to a print tier, and add on the commission fee and the cost for cards. Or you can stay where you are for now and do this all in the add-on store after the campaign closes.
I'm sure there are other contingencies that I haven't stated here, and I know this can get confusing, so please message me and we will help get you set up!

Thank you all for making this project a reality, and bringing us this far! Let's keep running as we cross this finish line together!
I'm honored and privileged to do this project with and for humans like you!
