Patreon tier revamp!

Hey all! As those in the 5+ tiers already know, I've had to change my Patreon approach. I was able to offer goodie tiers while I had something like 100 Patrons; now that there's 300 of you, packing and shipping has become too much work for a one-woman business! :) I need to focus on the art again - and I'm glad to hear that everyone in the higher tiers agreed. 

Of course, the calendars and Friend in Need prints will be completely unaffected by this change - I hope to do the painting this month, and prints and calendars will go out before Christmas. 

There are now four tiers, so I hope you'll find the right one for you if you wish to switch. (I did make sort of a "More Feanoreans, fewer goodies!" tier, for those of you who suggested it / jumped on board with that. You'll find it's thinly veiled.) 

For those amazing people among you who want to pledge more than the top tiers, you can still do that by editing the amount you pledge.

I have decided against a commission tier for the time being. Maybe I'll open one once all those books and calendars have shipped. It would definitely too much for me at this point.

What happens next?

• The previous Etsy coupon codes are no longer valid. I have set up new ones, which I'll post for you in your respective tiers. 
• I'll make a post for the Union of Maedhros tier, for you to vote on new paintings and pins /suggest sketches! 
• The digital pack for the Skies tier will have to wait until the next weekend. 

I'm also full of new ideas. Apart from the Friend in Need painting, I have several ideas for new pins, and I'm planning to make a card set of the Inktober brocade available. Not sure if that will happen in time for Christmas, but it might. I'll print them with Moo - they've got these gorgeous cards that feel almost like velvet. They'll be A5 sized and come as a boxed set.
