✧ Starting Fresh: Patreon update w/ new tiers!

Hello my dear friends! 

I'm back yet again with another Patreon update! This time I wanted to talk about my upcoming Patreon changes and the updated tiers+rewards. 

First, a little story time: It's been exactly one year since I introduced my NSFW tiers, Lily of the Valley (18+) and Foxglove, and offered them as Patreon rewards. Initially I created the separate tiers (SFW and NSFW) since it made it easier for people to simply chose whether they wanted nudity or not for their physical rewards. 

Well, somewhere down along the line, it became too much!! Making two new products every month was causing me a lot of stress and burnout, which in turn caused a lot of delays for rewards. I just want to say I'm really sorry. I feel like I let you guys down and made myself look irresponsible. I should have done something about this sooner but I felt like such a failure for not being able to keep up with my promises so I kept going at it in hopes that it would eventually become easier. 

With that being said, I am going to downsize the amount of tiers I'm offering to 3 simple ones: newsletter, digital rewards, and physical rewards. This will make it easier for me to focus on taking the time to work on and experiment with my illustrations while being financially supported to do so. The first 3 tiers will be renamed and updated which will be effective starting August 1st and the others (Lily of the Valley 18+ and Foxglove ) will be deleted. 

$2 Honey Clover:

$15 Sweet Violet:

I'm thankful for all the support I got from the NSFW tiers. It gave me the space to explore sapphic nudity on a platform that doesn't restrict content creators on the type of work they create and offer. This is why my Patreon will remain labeled as NSFW according to Patreon guidelines. I love the direction that my art is heading and I want to keep doing what I want to do without the unnecessary stress. 

Thank you for your support and I hope to see you next month! 

Stay magical 🌈 ✨

P.S Just wanted to share a fun little fact that all the new tiers will be renamed after flowers that were often referenced in Sappho's poems! 🌼
