The Finish Line!

We are only a few hours from the end of this campaign, and I have to say a huge thanks for all the support and mermaid love we've received.  

And! Our coin artist has sent over the final design for the coins. We want you to be the first to see them.


Don't forget, the Ask a Mermaid Anything is still up, so if you have any questions for our resident mermaid be sure to send those over right away. Some of them will make their way into the book, but only those that we receive soon.

Thank you for you support. We are very grateful and are moving forward with the layout and designs stages now.

Oh, and we're going to add a new sticker option. Our fab main art team has finished the designs for our little crab character, Kani. So we're going to make a sticker sheet for him and some other mermaid stuff.  And we've got the final mermaid character art, too. So we're going to make art prints of these characters available. You'll be able to order these items on the final Add-On menu when you get your survey.

Wanna see Kani? Of course you do, he’s adorable!


Surveys are coming out at the end of this week.

Cheers,
Lindsey B.

Hi!

We'd love to hear from you. So we're opening an AMA - Ask a Mermaid Anything! We'll be selecting some of the questions submitted and including them in the Fish Out of Water book, answered by our resident mermaid.

So what would you like to know about mermaid life, society, adventures, habits, or anything else in the Fish Out of Water mermaid world? 

Only Backers are eligible for the AMA, so if you haven't backed yet, what's holding you back?
