Sprout Cows Series 3

Guys! The first sample of the castle pot is here! It's important to remember that this is not the final version! However, I am LOVING how it has started to look!

The changes that I'll be making are to make sure the parapets (little squares at the top) are rigid and stick up straight, but other than that it is exactly how I envisioned! I absolutely love how the moss looks on the stones~

But what this sample shows is that I think it is going to be such an amazing addition to the purse collection we funded here on the campaign! Once again, I can't believe that not only did we unlock the castle pot, but we also exceeded our final stretch goal!

Thank you all so much! Keep an eye out this afternoon for information about the end-of-campaign survey!

Happy Thursday, everyone!

I wanted to pop in and let you all know that online preorders for fruit cows will be launching on my website tomorrow at 5 pm EST! I'm opening limited Preorder slots for all unlocked items on my website, alpacasews.com, for anyone who missed the BackerKit campaign!

As backers, you DO NOT need to preorder on the website! You will be able to add more items to your pledge through the end-of-campaign survey going out TOMORROW! In this survey, you will add shipping information, add on any other items, and confirm which types of cows/pots you want to bring home! 

(Castle pot purse sample is still in the works! If you would like to wait to fill out the survey until it's complete, you can!)

However, if there are any alpacasews plushies you want to grab, make sure you use the coupon codes down in the 'backers only' section of this update! 

ALSO! We have 25 backers who still have to update their payment methods! Please make sure you do so so you don't miss out on your cows! If you do not fix your payment method by 3 pm EST tomorrow, your pledge will be canceled, and you will not receive your plushies.

I am so so excited to see which cows end up being the most popular! I think it might be a toss-up between apple, blueberry, and sunflower. What do you guys think?

Thank you all SO MUCH

I am so beyond amazed at the response for this campaign, we ended with 47,000 in funding!

Now, what next?

For the next two weeks, Backerkit will allow anyone with declined cards to fix their payment method and secure their pledge. 


If you do not provide a valid payment method within 14 days, your pledge will be canceled and you will not receive your order. 

After the 14 day period, I’ll send out the survey where you will confirm your pledge choices, add any additional items and provide your shipping information. Any additional costs (including shipping) you add in the survey will not be charged until November when the bulk order is sent to me. 

It’s in the survey where you will be able to pick which specific cows and purse pots you bring home! We unlocked EVERYTHING so you can choose any of the items in the campaign!

The castle pot sample should be finished around that time! 

(Did you miss out on the campaign? Don’t worry, there will be another chance for you to get some on my website! They will cost a tiny bit more than Backerkit)

Thank you guys so much again!! We did it thanks to all of you, and I can’t be more grateful.

We have officially unlocked the final stretch goal of this campaign: castle pot!! 

I am truly so blown away by the support you guys have shown, and I’m so excited to share the finished sample of the cast pot once it’s completed! (It should be done by the time surveys are sent out in two weeks!)


Here’s to a great final few hours!

I can't believe the campaign is almost over! It has been an insanely wild ride, but it has also been so exciting to connect with all of you and share the art I've been working on for so long.

We have one final stretch goal: Castle purse pot! 

The sample is still in the works, but I am so thrilled about this mossy stone pot! (SO many of you pointed out how great it will be for ren fairs, and now I am so excited to wear it to one!) 

We jumped up so much after unlocking Sunflower Cow; in fact, we are now almost at 43,000! I really think we can do it!


But no matter what, I am so grateful to every single one of you who has backed the project, shared it, or sent me encouraging messages over the last month. 

Let's have a great last day! 


(Also, if you're going to be at GalaxyCon Raleigh this weekend, be sure to say hi! I'll have a sample cow for you to see! I will be at booth 926!)

We got this!
