I hope you're doing well and had a very wonderful Krampusnacht week. This is a short update, but an important one! We have reached 19 backers as of 12/12/2023, and we are 24% funded!

We will also be receiving a plush build update soon - hopefully this week! Updates on the design will take a while as we figure out the exact colors and shapes needed to make the design just right, so keep an eye out for polls to help make design choices as we move forward.

Speaking of polls, I want to initiate a poll throughout Krampus' campaign to decide what to call WildnCrafty Designs followers - AKA, you! I'm still thinking of names, and here's what I have so far: Wild Ones and Crafty Crew. Add, comment, and discuss more name ideas below! I'll be closing name suggestions on December 17th.



Stay Warm and Merry Krampus!

The original prototype images have arrived! There are a lot of changes to make, including color adjustments and shaping. The photos in the upper left of each angle is the original prototype, while the larger images are my adjustments. Please note that the paper features in the images (like the eyes) will be embroidered, once approved. Thank you for your support, and see you in the next update!

Happy almost Krampusnaucht! 🐐🔔
