Thank you all SO much for being a part of the Cerulean Sequence. We excelled past any expectations I had. Thank you for believing in me and letting me make things the that I am passionate about.
What's Next?
Now that the campaign has ended, Kickstarter will begin charging cards and processing payments. This takes 2 weeks to complete. Please make sure your credit card info is up to date. Kickstarter will make a few attempts at failed card payments before dropping you as a backer.
During this time I will be finalizing the last details of the project and solidifying all item specs. My goal is to go into production on everything by the time payments are processed in mid-June.
The production period can be quite long. We are estimating that we will ship Kickstarter pledges in January 2025, but I am hoping it will be earlier. As there are always unforeseen hiccups with new projects, we cannot guarantee a holiday delivery.
I'll continue to update you all on the progress and I will post an update here when we send out the shipping surveys. We are going to have all the stretch goal items figured out before you fill out your shipping surveys. During the survey, you will have access to adding any campaign items to your pledge as well as visuals for each item.
It'll be quiet for a few days here, but I will likely have an update for you sometime next week!
Thank you again <3
NUMBER ELEVEN? Beyond expectations!

Wow. I didn't think we would make it this far, but the campaign has really grown in the last few days. We have surpassed the final stretch goal at $123,456! My plan was for an abacus but after doing a loooot of research I'm not happy with our options. I'm going to keep looking..but they are all either really big or really tiny. There is a metal keychain version that looks enticing...I am also looking into a blue calculator. Thoughts?
That being said, I won't have this last item set up before the campaign ends tomorrow BUT
The stretch goal item for $123,456 will be included in the $111 tier for free. You can add it as an add-on item when you are filling out your shipping survey later on. I'm not sure of the add-on price at this moment.
If you want to switch to the $111 tier before the campaign ends you can edit your pledge. This tier now has a value of around $136 with all of the free stretch goal items!
If you are new to Kickstarter: once the campaign ends Kickstarter will begin processing payments. They usually try your card once per week, for 2 weeks. If the payment fails they will drop you as a backer so please make sure your payment information is up to date!
You will be getting your shipping surveys via email, likely at some point this summer, maybe late June. I will post an update here as well. Because we email the surveys, we cannot send them to you if you use an Apple ID to login to Kickstarter. Please try to update this to an email address ahead of time, but we will attempt to reach out to you if we are unable to send the survey to you.
Thank you thank you thank you!
I can't wait for the cerulean sequence to enter into the world and into your hands :)
I couldn't do this without you.

zero. the blank slate. potential for anything to happen.
We're down to the last 2 days of the campaign and anything can happen at this point! We blew past our stretch goal for the cerulean dice! You can now add the dice onto your pledge for $5. The dice are now automatically included in all pledges for the $111 tier and above. This will be a set of three d10 dice to add more to your numerology practice. I am still sourcing the right dice, but they will likely be one of the options here
Back to zero: I haven't talked about this much at all. You probably wouldn't know about it unless you watched one of the unboxing videos, but there is a multiplayer card game I designed for use with this deck. I wanted to do something special with 0. The rules are included in the back of the guidebook that comes with the deck!
Blank Slate is a game of abrupt endings and the play is simple:
Thank you again for being here! While we only have a few days until the campaign ends we may very well hit the $123,456 goal for the abacus. So keep sharing the project with your communities!

number nine. growth and understanding and preparation for the beginning to come again.
We're nearing the end of the campaign with only a few days left. Thank you all for being here and being a part of the cerulean sequence. We are approaching the goal for the dice right before the end of the campaign, so I'm going to be looking into those now. If you have any requests or ideas, now is the time!
I dedicate number 9 to the 9 spreads I created for this deck. I honored each number with a unique card spread, these are all included in the guidebook.
Is your life path number 9?
NUMBER EIGHT: SUCCESS. spectacles unlocked!

number eight. strength and courage and the loop of life.
we just surpassed $100,000 and have unlocked the cerulean spectacles!!
These are a piece of lore from the Cerulean Sequence and they are now included for free in each pledge of $111 and up or as an add-on item for $5! To add them to your pledge: tap the "edit or manage my pledge" button and visit the add-on menu.
The tin box sample just arrived also and I am in love with it. It matches the deck perfectly and has that retro vibe that I was going for.
The cerulean altar cloth was one of the first things I designed in this series of items. I created this inspired by one of the 0 cards and it features a black hole in the center. I wanted it to resemble sun prints or cyanoprints.
The notepad is intended to provide some extra room to work on your notes and jot things down about the cerulean sequence and to give you some space to decode the alphabet. Plus it has a handy alphanumeric key.
The divination diary is modeled after our other two divination diaries. These are great for keeping track of your spreads (more on this in update 9!)
We have less than a week left of the Kickstarter campaign. Thank you for being here. I'm so excited to get this project into production.
