A final thank you, and a look at the future
almost 4 years ago – Wed, Jun 10, 2020 at 02:42:02 AM

Just about everyone's order should have arrived (although there are a few international orders that seem to be taking F O R E V E R), so I wanted to make a final post for everyone. Because of you, we were able to successfully publish this indie deck for a second time! This is such an incredible feat, especially in an environment where many small businesses are sinking. THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to this campaign and supported the creation of this deck! I will always hold gratitude in my heart for each and every one of you. I hope all of you feel like you had a hand in making this deck (because ya did!). 💓

The deck is currently available on my website, but if you you are considering purchasing one for a friend (or if you missed the campaign and want one for yourself), I would suggest waiting until this weekend. From midnight June 13th to 11:59 pm June 14th (mountain standard time), all proceeds from the website will be donated to the NAACP's Legal Defense and Educational Fund. This deck already gives back to a couple of charities, but the NAACP's LDE fund is also in need of the support of allies right now. Although hard work is a part of the equation, I also recognize the vast privileges I've been handed to get where I am now. Whenever possible, I want to use that privilege to uplift the oppressed and bring balance, clarity, and justice to the world.

And finally, I'm about to start a new body of work! If you would like to watch the process, you can follow it on either my personal Instagram account or on my press A Cult of Weavers' account. Can't say I know what this body of work will contain exactly, but the images will all be formatted so they translate easily into cards down the road. 

Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. I frickin love the community here on Kickstarter so much!! It is so incredible to have your support. Thank you all so much 🙏🙏

Yours in creation,

-Emi B

99.9% FUFILLED! If you are missing items in your order, PLEASE READ THIS UPDATE 🖤
almost 4 years ago – Sat, May 23, 2020 at 10:47:28 PM

All the orders are posted!! By now, anyone who ordered something should have gotten a tracking number or heard from me. Tracking notification emails would come from bradytarot.com and not Kickstarter, so check those spam filters, too!

Everyone should also double check their orders on Backerkit to be sure you've received all of your items. There was an issue with the invoices where certain items that were added-on past the kickstarter were not showing up on the invoices. I tried very hard to account for this by manually double checking and adding the omitted items, but I know I missed some near the beginning. I'm so sorry if your order was affected by this. If you're missing anything, please reach out so I can complete your order! 

If you missed the campaign and the pre-order window, the second edition will be available on the deck's website starting June 1st. This will give everyone enough time to get their orders in and for me to send out anything I may have missed.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!! What a wild ride the whole way through! This second edition would not exist without all of you. Thank you, thank you 🙏 It's an artist's dream come true to put their work into the hands of so many people, so thank you for making that dream real!!

And stay tuned for the next body of work! I may just have to come back to Kickstarter soon ❤️❤️❤️

Forever yours in creation,

-Emi Brady

Kickstarter Pledges are all shipped! Onto BackerKit preorders!
almost 4 years ago – Fri, May 22, 2020 at 12:06:26 PM

We were able to process and ship all the Kickstarter orders over the last week and a half, which now leaves the BackerKit pre-orders. I think we'll be able to complete everything by the end of this week or early next week!

I also have a few items left-over from the Kickstarter orders that should have gone out already. This means I screwed up somewhere, so if anyone is missing anything from their order please don't hesitate to reach out and ask about it. I don't want to leave anything out of your order, so if I made a mistake please let me know so I can fix it! I packed every single one of those orders myself, and I know I'm human and get tired and forget stuff sometimes.

With that said, I am getting my butt back to work!
