    Progress!

    The shirts and bags are printed! You can see the printing process here: http://picasaweb.google.com/thisistimeads/ButterShirtPrinting...

    If I owe you a shirt, bag or other reward it will be going out shortly. Thanks for your patience.

    If you want another shirt or know someone that might I've listed them on my etsy site: http://www.etsy.com/shop/limescreen

    I also have photos of my progress on the butter churn here: http://picasaweb.google.com/thisistimeads/ButterChurnProcessPhotos...

    Blessings,

    Bring back butter: a pedal-operated butter churn by Tim Eads

    I’m on a personal mission to bring back butter. I will do this by creating a pedal-operated mechanism that churns butter and toasts bread.

        I'm so excited this worked. Let me know when the butter churn is up and running - I want to help churn some butter...
        congrats!

    Additional rewards

    As a final promotion to raise the money for the project I have decided to throw in one of my hand screen printed posters. These are collaborations with several artist’s I did a few years ago. If you pledge at least $10 I will send you one of these along with a few butter stickers.

    Pledge reward images

    Here are examples of what the prizes look like. I'll be making a few small adjustments to the designs and updating them throughout the project. For example, I want to put the website on the sticker. I'll also have actual photos of the butter wrappers when I finish the design.

    Great. By feminine style I'm assuming you mean one cut for a woman's figure? If so, I was planning on giving that as an option already I just forgot to mention it in the post.

    Shirt designs

    Here's a couple of designs that are options for the $100 pledge. I'm interested in hearing your feedback on which one you like best. For the reward, each shirt will be carefully stained with 4 ounces of butter (half a stick) and signed by me.

        I definitely like the first design. I am also hoping for a more feminine style shirt. Actually I just want a picture of you, on the bike, eating buttered toast.

        I think #1 says it all. Plus you have more room for the butter stains.
