Kickstarter Staff Pick: Cosmic Mugs Available for the Holidays

Thanks so much to everyone who backed Cosmic Mugs so far! We raised over $10,000 in just a few days. WOW! That’s enough to install a studio furnace, insulation in the studio walls and to cover all costs of utilities to keep my clay and glazes from freezing this winter. I’m so grateful for all of your support.

Kickstarter also chose Cosmic Mugs as a Staff Pick! This means our project could be featured to millions of people on Kickstarter’s homepage and social media!

This card was from Canadian Astronaut Chris Hadfield, who wrote me an incredibly humble, inspiring letter after I sent him a Cosmic Mug. You might recognize him from his YouTube performance of David Bowie’s, “Space Oddity” recorded on board the International Space Station. I want to share his words of wisdom with you, because it’s great advice that all of you can apply to your own lives. Colonel Hadfield said,

“I wish you all my very best as you pursue your most distant of dreams while celebrating the joys and victories of each day.”

– Col. Chris Hadfield, Astronaut

Cosmic Mugs: Launching soon on Kickstarter!

Thank you to everyone who entered the live Cosmic Mug Giveaway! Next Wednesday 10/4, ten lucky winners will have an email in their inbox for a Cosmic Mug to be shipped almost anywhere in the world, totally free!

Ten Free Cosmic Mugs

These mugs are very difficult to create, but I successfully made a bit batch and can afford to give them away for just one more week. The giveaway program increases your chances of winning by referrals to friends and family who might get a kick out of getting their own entry to win a Cosmic Mug. Good luck!

In less than two weeks, I will have a HUGE batch of Cosmic Mugs available at far lower prices on Kickstarter! Watch closely for the next couple email newsletters so you can snag one before they sell out.
