Update #14: Timeline of rewards

Posted on February 14

Hello amazing Kickstarter backers!

I just wanted to let you know we have started production on the book, and we are going to press in June/July. And the books should be ready to ship out by the end of the summer.

For those of you receiving additional rewards, they will be delivered with your copy of the book.

Please stay tuned for a request for your shipping information.

Best,
Cara

Update #12: PHOTO FINISH! 1 day to go and almost there!

Posted on January 18

Just one last note to say thank you again, especially to those of you who have upped your pledges in these last few days and who have gone above and beyond to help spread the word. Because of all of you, I am now in reach of meeting my goal! 

I have to admit, there have been a lot of sleepless nights over the last 44 days, but I am so excited to finally hit $15,8000, so I can start the printing process and get you all your rewards.

Once the campaign wraps up, I will continue to post info and updates on the project on Tumblr, if you are interested.

Love to you all!
Cara

Update #11: 81% FUNDED...3 DAYS TO GO

Posted on January 16

Happy Monday everyone,

We are so close now to meeting the goal of $15,8000, but I must raise another $2800.00 by Thursday at midnight.

It is so exciting to be within reach of what I knew was a very ambitious target. I need your help to get to through this last few days.

For a $75 pledge there are 17 signed copies remaining

For a pledge of $500, you will get TWO original signed Polaroids from Singular Beauty

For a $1000 pledge, you not only get a signed copy of the book but also a 16 X 20 artist proof from the book.

If you have a twitter account or other social media venue, please consider sharing the link

And if you have not had a chance to look yet, I am still adding to my backer tumblr feed.

Thank you again for your generosity!
XO,
Cara
