Fresh Photos & A Sneak Peek

Hey everyone, I took some new photos! 

The metal catches the light beautifully, letting the cracks shine through the design. Photos don´t fully do it justice: I keep turning the pins in my hands, playing with the reflections, and it’s mesmerizing.


Another one, a little less creative:


I’ve also included a first look at the next stretch goal, we’re very close now. I truly love these designs, and I’d be excited to unlock them together!

They finally arrived, and I've been staring at them for way too long.
These are the first physical prototypes of our little cracked vessels, fresh from the manufacturer, and honestly, they turned out even better than I imagined. 
I took a couple of photos because I couldn't help myself. Here they are: 
 
Seeing them like this, all lined up and shiny, makes this whole project feel so much more real. Thank you for helping me get this far, these little cups are going to be real because of you.
Let me know which one is calling your name. I'd love to hear about your favorite!

WE DID IT! WE'RE FUNDED!

We hit our funding goal, and it's all because of you!

When I started Cracked & Kind, I wasn't sure if anyone else would connect with a tiny collection about chipped cups and golden cracks. Turns out, you did, and that means a lot to me.

Thank you. Seriously. Every single pledge helps to make this real. It looks like these imperfect vessels are on their way to becoming real and I couldn't be happier.

But wait, there's more!

If we reach our stretch goal of 1000€, a brand new pin collection will be available to add to the cupboard.  

Help me get there? Share the campaign, tell a friend, adjust your pledge if you've been eyeing more pins. Let's see how far these little cups can go!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. <3
