We hit our first stretch goal to reward our contributors with a raise, and we’re still going! @bramblebug created the wonderful little printable workbook you see if you swipe, which will now be included in all backer tiers! Let’s see what comes next... 😉 #zine #smallpress #witchzine #magiczine #witchcraft #kickstarter #zinesonkickstarter #comicsonkickstarter #kickstartercomics #illustration #witchart #fantasyillustration #illustagram #watercolorillustration #magic https://www.instagram.com/p/CDkclLbDZ88/?igshid=z3tx4qrurid

We’re almost ready to send out surveys, and next week should be the week! Orders on books and extras are started, and hopefully soon, we’ll have a proof to show you. . I loved painting the cover for this issue. It’s covered with plants with wonderful shapes and associations: nasturtiums, Chinese lanterns, spurge, and oregano, with a friendly snail, magic lights, and a border of winding vines. I’ve truly enjoyed every bit of making this issue and working with the wonderful people who gave the gift of their talents and thoughts. I’m so lucky to have gathered such a good group over the past few years and that you have all taken part in our collective vision. . We want to continue the conversation even without another issue next year, so all backers will soon have a chance to join a Hazel Discord group and continue the magic. The link will go out with the next Kickstarter update, so we can all keep each other company until our books arrive. Keep an eye out for it, and we’ll talk soon! . . #zines #zine #smallpress #witch #witchzine #hazelzine #witcheslifestylezine #magiczine #watercolor #watercolorillustration #illustration #womenwhodraw #cuteart #floralart #morigirl #morikei #woodland #cottagecore #magicplants #raleighartist #witchesofinstagram #illustagram #coverart #coverdesign #wip #painting https://www.instagram.com/p/CFU-I7HDezE/?igshid=yh4ixpe3gc3

Last week, last big push! Let’s give Hazel a fantastic send-off this year! The book is closer to being finished on our end, and there are lots of great contributor interviews for you to read on the Kickstarter updates, so it’s a really good place to be right now~ I hope you’re enjoying the ride with us, because we’ve been having a great time sharing this with you! #zine #zinesonkickstarter #comicsonkickstarter #kickstartercomics #kickstarter #comics #indiecomics #smallpress #comicartist #illustration #watercolorillustration #illustrationartists #witchsona #witchart #witchesofinstagram #witchillustration #magicart #magiczine #witchzine #hazelwitchzine #hazelzine #witcheslifestylezine #cuteart #kawaiiart #mangaart #magicforest #cottagecore #darkacademia #woodlandaesthetic #morigirl https://www.instagram.com/p/CEQaul-jALw/?igshid=18vefgncejb52

Thank you so much to everybody who joined our launch party livestream today! You can still catch the stream recorded on YouTube, if you feel like listening to us talk about food for an hour and then art school for another hour, hahaha 🍾 The Hazel Kickstarter went live this morning, and we are so thrilled to already be at close to 50%, but the campaign has just begun!

We were STUNNED yesterday to reach our goal this early, and have so many of you ask to commission our artists! We opened up new slots, and we’ve revealed our first stretch goals, so if we can keep growing and reach more Hazel readers, we have lots more rewards in store. Our first stretch goal is to reward our incredible contributors with better pay for their work, but if we hit that goal, they’ve created some lovely extras to share with you, too 😉 Help is get the word out and there’s going to be good stuff on the way! #comicsonkickstarter #kickstarter #illustration #watercolor #watercolorillustration #witchart #witch #witchsona #witchesofinstagram #witchzine #magiczine #hazelzine #hazelwitchzine #witcheslifestylezine #kawaiiart #cuteart #fantasyillustration #darkacademia #zines #smallpress #comicart #comicartist #womenwhodraw #raleighartist #raleighillustrator https://www.instagram.com/p/CDfB4gojnxp/?igshid=bdc9983cnvdt

We made it to our second stretch goal! A new pin was unlocked and our next stretch goal, to give our contributors another raise, comes with another secret surprise from one of our artists! We’ve revealed the goal after that as well... take a look and get ready to be excited ~ #witchzine #magiczine #witchesofinstagram #hazelzine #witcheslifestylezine #witchy #kikisdeliveryservice #witchsona #kawaiiart #cuteart #watercolor #watercolorillustration #illustration #raleighartist #witchillustration #harvestmoon #raleighillustrator #zines #smallpress #indiecomics https://www.instagram.com/p/CDzue4tDvUY/?igshid=9v6k68jg5y8o

The proof copy of Hazel surprised me in the mail yesterday - I didn’t even know it was ready let alone shipped! I’m checking over it today with a fine toothed comb to make sure everything looks as it should, so I hope we can give them the okay (or a few edits) to proceed to printing soon. Looking great so far! #hazelzine #hazelwitchzine #witcheslifestylezine #witchzine #cottagecore #darkacademia #magiczine #witchyvibes #cuteart #smallpress #indiecomics #indiepress #zine #watercolor #woodlandaesthetic #woodland #magic #witch #witchbook #witchyreads https://www.instagram.com/p/CGAVYV4D6Pu/?igshid=h5a477nxbed9
