We're approaching the final 24 hours of this Kickstarter campaign, and it feels like this month has just flown by! I just wanted to thank everyone who have alreadt contributed to this campaign. Thank you all so much!
I also wanted to remind anyone who is on the fence about pledging for a deck that the time is now! Backing for a deck gets you two Kickstarter-exclusive items: a high quality UV-resistant Hermit sticker and a black cotton drawstring bag with the four elements screen printed on one side. You get these items with each deck you pledge for, so if you order more than one deck, you get more than one extra.
Also, if we can get up to $44,444 in the next 24 hours, everyone who orders a deck will get one of 12 linocut prints I will carve and print exclusively for deck backers ! I would really love to make these prints for everyone!
Regardless of where the campaign ends, this still has exceeded my expectations, and I am so grateful to all of you who have contributed. You are making this second edition deck possible. Thank you all so much!

Yes!! Thank you everyone, we've hit our second to last Stretch Goal, which has also unlocked another extra for deck pledges!
First, the Extra! Everyone who pledged for decks will get a Kickstarter-exclusive custom drawstring bag to carry your cards in! The bags will be a good quality cotton, and the 4 elements will be screenprinted on the front in a dark metallic silver ink. This item will not be offered anywhere else, and is included as a thank-you to all you awesome backers! Just like the vinyl Hermit sticker, there is one bag included per deck backed, so if you order more than one deck, you get more than one bag.
Stretch Goal #4 has unlocked a 20"x20" reading cloth, which retails at $24! Like the bag, this will also be screen printed on a fine quality black cotton cloth and will have a dark metallic ink. It will also have a second color (a transparent blue), which adds constellations and elemental symbols to the image. The center of the cloth has a brand new image I've been working on for awhile, and I'm so excited about using it for a reading cloth! The spider in the center is a garden orb weaver, a species in the same family as the orb weaver in the Wheel of Fortune. The reading cloth will be a limited run of 50, and will be printed here in Denver by local screenprinting badass legend, Joe Triscari.
So this now just leaves our final Stretch Goal at $50,000, and the final Extra at $44,444!
Stretch Goal #5 is the limited edition Black and White version of the deck, which will retail at $40.
Extra #3 is an all new original linocut print, one of 12 I will create just for this Kickstarter! Each print will feature an animal from the deck, but it will be an all-new carving. Like the previous Extras, I will include one print per deck and they will not be available outside of this Kickstarter, making it a true collector's item. If we can make it to $44,444, I will be documenting the process of carving and printing this edition, and will post it exclusively for backers! I would LOVE to make the special edition happen!
Thank you all for your continued generosity and support in making this second edition happen!!
I got a couple of questions about Stretch Goals and if there are any you do not have to buy, so I wanted to take this opportunity to clear up any confusion!
Stretch Goals and Extras are two separate categories for this Kickstarter. The final two Stretch Goals are complex, high quality items that will become available to purchase, but there will also be really cool extras added to each deck pledge when Stretch Goals are met! You will receive one extra per deck, so if you order more than one deck you get more than one extra. These extras will only be available to the Kickstarter backers as special thank-you gifts for your help in making this second edition printing happen!
The first one we unlocked is a 2" circular vinyl sticker of the Hermit, which is the same high quality, UV-resistant material as the vinyl card stickers.
We've still got two more left to unlock, and the next Extra is one I am super excited about including!
Thanks again everyone for your continued support! Apologies if I was not clear enough about Stretch Goals and the included Extras. And as always, please don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have.
Best wishes,
-Emi B
