      Buddy- I sent you a link to the page where you can see which masks you can choose. Did you not get it? I'm sorry for the confusion. I'll resend

      A month later, no response. Guess I have to get VISA to reverse the charge. I would have really liked a mask, but I guess that isn't happening...

      I'm sorry if I sounded brusk, I just still don't understand the process I guess. So we can choose our level mask reward from masks you already made? Or the masks we will get are in the same level of difficulty and ornamentation as those masks? If we can choose the completed masks, I think the Celestial Stag is very nice, but of course I love all your masks! Thanks for all your hard work, I know you are pounding your hands into hamburger making all of these...

      Buddy- I'm sorry, perhaps I've been going about things wrong. I know it's hard to unsubscribe to updates from kickstarter projects, and I didn't wan to spam everybody with nearly daily mask updates. Maybe I should do a weekly post? That would probably be better. Right now I'm somewhere more than 1/3 the way through the book, but less than 1/2. All the completed masks (and some process shots) are on the imaginary beings' blog, here: http://thebookofimaginarybeings.blogspot.com/ . At the top right is a button labeled "donation rewards that has all the current masks divided up by their levels.

      Girl, I am pulling for you. I love your work. I wish I could give more. Maybe someday I can buy a piece of your work. The elephant mask is just breathtaking.
