...and well on our way to the first stretch goal!
You guys are amazing! We met our funding goal of $2,400 in 24 hours! About half of you are completely new to Kickstarter, so here's what this means:
1. Because we're fully funded, there's no risk in joining this campaign. We've raised the amount we needed to fund the creation and production of these prints, so they will 100% be created, and shipped out in July! (that's one month away!)
2. When the campaign ends your credit card will be charged for the amount of whatever reward tier you choose. After the money transfers, we will send you a survey where you will pick which paintings you want (any of the 27!). So right now all you have to pick is what size print you want and how many (one print, a bundle of two, or all nine!).
3. WE GET TO MOVE ON TO STRETCH GOALS! This basically says, "Hey! You helped us meet our dream, and now we get to dream even BIGGER!"
We are WELL on our to that next stretch goal.. a free print of the Enneagram logo for EVERYONE at the $35 tier and above! It has within it all 27 paintings, and here's how that works out:
So in $1,700 (from the moment I'm typing this) everyone at the $35+ tier and up will get a free print of the Enneagram logo!
Incredible. Absolutely amazing. I cant be more excited about it. I'm refraining from completely freaking out about it until we get a little closer, but here's what I said about it on the campaign page:
After seeing the impact these paintings can have on the community -- how it can shine a light on our journey towards health, and help us see each other and ourselves with more grace -- I want to create a functional tool that can bring this artwork off the walls and into your conversations. We came up with the idea to make a pocket-sized box set, with all 27 paintings, and the explanation for each written on the back. I see these being a wonderful tool for coaches, and for communities who want to explore the enneagram together. The cards are printed on plastic, completely washable, durable, and perfect for spreading out on the coffee shop table. I would love to make these a reality, and need your help to do it!
Simply put -- sharing the project!
Telling your friends, family, communities, strangers-turned-friends in the grocery-store, anyone about this project is a HUGE step towards making these dreams a reality. But sharing can take a couple different forms. Here are some ideas:
1. Share this link on your social media (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kyrahinton/translating-enneagram-into-art-mapping-the-human-experience?ref=6c7gwz) with a photo of your favorite print, etc. from the campaign. (You can repost from my instagram if you want, just credit me, please!)
2. COMMENT in the comments section of the Kickstarter campaign with what you love most about this project, or how the painting for your type has touched you, or how you think this will help others. That way people who stumble across the project will see your recommendation and will be more likely to join! You all have sent me HUNDREDS of incredible comments and reviews, and I'd love it if more people could see those! (If you're one of those that has messaged me, you can even copy and paste that!)
3. If you know an Enneagram coach, expert, author, social media account, etc. who you think would like this project and want to be a part, reach out to them and send the link! We're trying to spread the word, but it matters more coming from you -- those who have rallied behind this project want to see it succeed!
4. Sew a banner, flag, or outfit for your dog with the project on it and run it around town. (DISCLAIMER: This one might not be as effective as the others. But it sounds fun!)
Having said all of that, I end once again with,
It is my honor and privilege to do this project with and for humans like you.
Love and Light,
Kyra
