Book Cats Kickstarter
I’m thrilled to be launching my latest Kickstarter campaign on 7 February – on the theme of Book Cats!
The first 3 pins Romance Cats, Reality is Overrated and Classics Reader make up my main campaign target, with an extra 4 pins as exciting stretch goals!
This is an all-or-nothing campaign, so you won’t be charged right until the end of the campaign.
Early bird prices will be available for the first 24 hours – tiers are available for all of the designs so pledge straight away to get the best deal, and increase the chance of all the pins getting unlocked!

I thought it would be fun to do a little work in progress on my Crime Reader Cat!
My initial vision was for a jumping cat with a knife in its mouth.
I also needed to think about how to add books – although the cat was meant to be jumping it felt like the position could lend itself to the cat standing on a book pile.
At this stage but I decided the proportions were off and I didn’t like the angle very much, so decided on a more sedate position!
I was playing around with different knife positions, but decided to switch up the cat so it was looking down at the books. I also decided on adding a floral element – black Dahlias - would really add something to the design!
At this stage I was playing around with a lot of colours. I am personally drawn towards cools colours, mostly purple, blue and green so this was all a bit out of my comfort zone!
In the end I decided to lean into the fuchsia/rich purple angle, and after messing around with different word and font combinations was finally happy with the end result!
I hope you enjoyed this little look behind the scenes!
I’ll be launching the Kickstarter on Friday 7 February – please do sign up to the pre-launch page to be notified, and I’ll also be posting across social media & email too!
Hopefully see you there!!
