BackerKit surveys are coming!
20 days ago – Mon, Mar 09, 2026 at 07:37:58 AM

Dear Backers,

I have some great news to share - The Hidden Architecture of Nature books have come back from print. We ordered a small number of extra copies, and these will be available to add in the pledge manager. We are not planning to reprint this book in the future, so this will likely be the only chance to get a copy. All copies will come signed.

Last week we were also busy setting up the surveys in BackerKit. Very soon you will receive an email with your personal survey link. It’s important to complete the survey as soon as possible, as we need this information to prepare and ship your rewards.

You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey. Simply click the link in the email, confirm your reward preferences, provide your shipping information, and add any optional add-ons if you wish. The survey is not live just yet, but it will be arriving in your inbox shortly.

If you logged into Kickstarter using Facebook, please note that the survey will be sent to the email address connected to your Facebook account.

If you have any questions in the meantime, feel free to reach out anytime.

Best wishes,

Olena

Printed proof in & one more project to share
about 1 month ago – Mon, Feb 23, 2026 at 03:25:19 AM

Dear Backers,

A quick follow-up now that I’ve received the printed proof of The Hidden Architecture of Nature — and I’m very happy to say it turned out really beautiful.

The colours, paper, and overall feel are exactly where they need to be. There are just a few images that need a final round of upscaling or small touch-ups, which I’m already working on. Once that’s done over the next couple of days, the book will be sent to mass production. Everything is moving smoothly and is fully on track 🙂

-----

To continue sharing a glimpse of what we’ve been working on next, I’d love to briefly introduce another upcoming project:

Once Upon a Fox Tarot
A charming, narrative-driven tarot with a cute, whimsical, and witty tone, following the journey of a fox protagonist. Have a look at the level of detail in these cards — I’ve added a couple of images below:

You can check out the pre-launch page and follow the project HERE. 

Thank you all, and I’ll be back with another update soon as I get ready to send out the surveys.

Warm wishes,
Olena

Production Update & A Glimpse of What’s Next
about 2 months ago – Thu, Feb 12, 2026 at 04:52:32 AM

Dear Backers,

I hope you’ve all had a good start to the year. I wanted to share a quick update on where things are at as we move into the next stage of production.

After some back and forth with the printing company, I’m happy to confirm that all print files for the deck, box, and companion book have now been fully approved, and the deposit has been paid. As soon as the factory returns from the Chinese New Year holidays end of Feb, printing can begin immediately.

The Hidden Architecture of Nature  book has also been sent off to print. I’ve decided to opt for a physical proof to make sure the visuals come out exactly as intended, as many of the images have been heavily upscaled and refined. I’m expecting the proof around February 21st. If everything looks good, mass production can start right away and should take around7–10 days.

The 9 backers who ordered only the book will have their copies shipped in early March. The remaining books will be sent to China so they can be fulfilled together with the decks in April, as planned.

While all of this has been moving forward, the team and I have also been working on three new projects alongside some wonderful artists. I’ll share more about each of them soon, but I wanted to start by giving you a brief look at one:

Caminante Tarot
It is a chronicle of the wayfarer — those who have traded fixed walls for open horizons. Created in detailed pencil drawings, the deck places strong emphasis on the sky and surrounding landscapes, where environment and movement shape the story as much as the figures themselves. I’ve completely fallen in love with the quiet beauty of these illustrations. (More visuals are available on the prelaunch page - click the image below).

Over the next week, I’ll also be sharing glimpses of the other two upcoming projects.

As always, thank you so much for your patience! I’ll keep you updated as soon as the printing begins and the book proof arrives.

Warm wishes,
Olena

Quick Progress Check-in
3 months ago – Fri, Jan 09, 2026 at 07:16:44 AM

Dear Backers, 

I hope you’ve all had a lovely festive period and a smooth start to the year. I wanted to share a quick update now that we’re properly back into work mode.

We’ve received the Kickstarter funds and have sent the final print files for the deck and the companion book to the factory for technical checks. Due to the fast approaching Chinese New Year holidays, and the factory’s scheduled servicing of their printing equipment before the break, the actual printing will begin once they return in Feb. I’ll be honest — I hadn’t specifically anticipated the machine servicing, but I did build enough buffer into the schedule when planning fulfilment, so this is already covered within the April shipping estimate.

The hardcover art book is about 95% complete and will be printed in the UK. The 9 backers who ordered only the book will have their copies dispatched from the UK in February, as planned.

I’ve also been finalising the most efficient way to handle UK-based add-ons. The plan is to ship them in bulk to the Chinese factory, together with the art books, so orders can be completed from one location — this is both faster and more cost-effective for you, dear backers. 

I’ll continue to keep you updated as things move forward. In the meantime, the team and I are already working on some exciting new projects, so stay tuned.

Thank you!!

Olena
