Gratitude and Book Update

I've been glancing at the Backers list and sending every one of you joyous thoughts. It's astonishing how far this has reached! We've got people all over the globe! I am humbled and delighted. You are wonderful!

The Book is coming along nicely; I have had to do some serious choppy-chop editing to get the essays to fit in the space allotted, but it's honestly an improvement. I do get too wordy at times😂

The Science-only pages are still my biggest hurdle, because it is so far outside of my comfort zone. But I have help and I'm persevering! It's going to be great.

Just for fun, here's the Copper card to show you my humble gratitude:

Getting Closer! So Much Happy Dance!!

This is by far the biggest and most ambitious project I've ever attempted, and because of you guys, it has succeeded! I'm giddy with joy! Dancing on the bed! 

Now, STRETCH GOALS.

$10, 000 will unlock 10 CUSTOM BOXES, which I make individually from upcycled wooden cigar boxes.

$11,000 will unlock ENAMEL PINS based on the lanthanide and actinide shields, as well as the Mendelevian Oracle logo fairy (pictured below)

And finally, $15, 000 will unlock TEN MORE CUSTOM BOXES.

I am so incredibly happy! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Breakthrough on the Book!

I know there are people who don't find Microsoft Word a hideous swamp of unspoken rules and arcane leaps of logic, but I am not one of them...And so it's an absolute triumph when I get something to work!

Behold! The Element numbers, in the upper right corner of the page! As foretold! Without it ruining the rest of my formatting!

Time for a celebratory chai. Have one yourself. 😘
