    Awesome. Are there going to be vector versions? I actually started using a couple of these in a project recently and would love to be able to scale them up just slightly.

    Guitar pick updates

    Well, it doesn't look like I'm going to reach my $200, but that's okay. I've gone ahead and started making a ton of guitar picks anyway this past week.

    If you were a backer of this project and would still be interested in receiving some of these picks when they're finished, contact me. I'll have to offer a revised version of my promised bonuses since all of the picks I made for this last batch had the same design and the jury is still out on the bamboo picks...

    Anyway, thanks for the support!

    Fun. Where did you get that photo of the guys with the giant shoe? That's hilarious.

    Project URL change

    I'll be more careful with how I set these projects up in the future. Evidently your choices are very permanent.

    The updated project, with new goals and much more reasonable rewards can be found here:
