He held in there, and managed to overcome to be our third design unlocked, behold the frog!

His green skin will glow brightly, a beacon of hope and persistence in the dark! I still love his lil butt, haha!

Next, I've set up the next poll to choose the next design unlocked! Vote now to have your say in how the campaign unfolds!

Finally, announcing my admission in Pin Forge's Pin Quest event! For all those who back 3+ campaigns for physical rewards (including mine, of course), I will include this glittering snake clutching a scroll for free!

This pin will be 1" and feature recessed details. I wonder what secrets the snake protects? Be sure to browse the other projects in the event and don't forget to back 3+ campaigns for physical rewards to get this freebie pin! 

Just one week to go until launch! I'm so excited, are you?? See you in the next update!

You all have spoken, the winner of the first stretch goal has been chosen, the second to be unlocked will be the dragonling!

I can't wait to see the glitter swirling through its scales in person!

Now it's time to pick the next stretch goal! Vote now in the poll below and have your say in how the campaign unfolds!

Next I'll announce some early rewards! Followers, returning backers, and early bird backers will each receive a transparent vinyl sticker in a random bottle design! If you receive multiple rewards, I guarantee no duplicates!

It was a really close battle for nearly that entire poll period, but we finally managed to have a winner come out on top in just the last few hours, behold the launch design: Fish!

This glittering fish dances within its bottle, with bubbles printed on the glass for a little added magic! I love the graceful curves of its tail 🥰

We're just two weeks away from launch, so let's move right along to the next poll! Vote below for your next favorite design to be the first stretch goal of the campaign!

As a final little treat for today's update, announcing the cross-collab bonus with UrskogSaga! When you back both Bottled Familiars and Fungi & Faeries for physical rewards, you will also get this two pin set for free!

The mouse is in a bit of a predicament, haha! Its little wings will glow in the dark! What should we name this little friend?? Share your ideas in the comments and we'll put suggestions to a poll later in the campaign! 

I hope you're as excited as I am! The countdown is on!

The final two designs have been completed! Choosing just the right color for the snake was such a challenge for me, haha!

The snake will glitter, and the bark texture will show through on the branch!

Finally, a beautiful, graceful fish makes our sixth design!

The screen printed bubbles will show on both sides of this one, I'm pretty excited about the effect! 

Now that all six designs have been revealed, it's time to vote for the launch design! Which design is your favorite? Vote now to impact how the campaign goes! 

Launch is getting closer and closer, I've got more announcements to make in the coming days, including freebies available, so be sure to keep an eye out!

Less than three weeks to go until launch! There's so much work left to do behind the scenes, but I've got some shiny new graphics for you to get excited about! Four designs are ready to go, with final touches to be made on two more! Not to mention all the fun little bonus designs, which I'm so excited to reveal!

For now, let's see the glitter cat bottle!

I can't wait to see the glitter effect in person, I love how my manufacturer does it so much!

The frog struggling with his branch will be glow in the dark!

The glow is gonna be so strong, this frog is gonna shine!

It's back to glitter for the ferret, I love his lil butt!

I doubt even that jar can contain the Mischief!

Finally, introducing the newest design to be completed, the dragonling!

Such a magical little companion, I'm so excited! 

If you're not following already, be sure to do so, there will be some fun bonuses! Polls will be coming very soon to decide the order of designs unlocked in the campaign, so keep an eye out for that!

Looking forward to watching this campaign develop with you all!
