So that's that! Campaign closed with 831% funding. I'm so please. Well, pleased is the wrong word. It's deeper than that. It's all the way down in my toes, this feeling. It's a joyful sense of connection, collaboration and gratitude. We made this thing together, all of us.
In the next few weeks as I wait for the fund dispersal, I will be finalising the files and readying them for production. As soon as the funds land in my account, I'll be off to the presses. I will keep everyone updated here.
And in the meantime - please know that the new website is here and ready for you to come and share the stories of how you earned your badges! http://radfatties.com/
Thank you, everyone. I hope these badges and stickers bring you joy when you feel like celebrating and serve as a reminder of your strength, creativity, and resilience when you need reminding.
With so much love,
Stacy
WE DID IT! All 300 Sticker Sheets have sold! I've extended the print run and launched the pins! Both packs are pictured below!

----------------------------
Over 100% Funded in 8 hours, y'all! And 190 of 300 sticker sheets accounted for as of this moment.
The campaign isn't over! Keep putting in your pre-orders and I'll extend the print-run if we need to. If all 300 sheets sell, I'll start researching pins and embroidered patches. Tell me in the comments section which badges you'd like on pins and patches!

It's no secret that it can be hard out there in a fat body!
Stranger side-eye, fat-shaming doctors, concern trolls, garden furniture
(UGH), fashion pressures with limited choices, and let's not even talk about
airplanes!
Surviving and thriving despite fat stigma is a feat worth
acknowledging, and who doesn't love a sticker for positive
reinforcement?
There aren't many little gifts we can buy ourselves or
each other that celebrate our bodies exactly as they are, or that
acknowledge the effort it takes to power through the daily obstacles to
our joy and well being. These sticker packs are a little way to bring
some lightheartedness and celebration to my fellow rad fatties who are
out there every day fighting to make our world a better place!
Stickers will be approximately 1.5", on an A5 sheet, full color, and on sturdy vinyl! Check out the Gallery for close-ups of the individual stickers as well as the sticker sheet design!
300 sheets available at first printing. If all goes well, I'll do a second run and have a think about badges (Pins), and embroidered patches!
The
fundraising goal here is a way I can do fund the print run without
risking a loss. The goal amount is merely the cost of the print run +
VAT, shipping, and envelopes for mailing.
