Hey, my mother has an obsession with monkeys, and she has a mechanical keyboard. Maybe I can get lucky and give her one!
But when you mention a wild story, do you mean something that happened in the wild? Because here in South Florida, we got no mountains/forests or anything like that. And for a story that is wild, my life only consist of works and my baby girl. Sooooo, not much free time lol.
But thanks for hosting the giveaway! Seriously, always cool to see new key-cap makers around.
I was once in a swimming contest with millions of others, and won... That was the peak of my RNG career.
LOL I have a great story! And its about monkeys!
When I was a kid, like 7 or 10, I visited Taiwan. We went to visit some sort of outdoor nature thingy( a hike?) Little did I know this hike had monkeys on it. They were super scary to me and they were not scared of humans. After a while the monkeys stopped showing up. I was relieved, we took a break and had some snacks. Then BAM! out of nowhere a sneaky monkey swoops my snacks. A packet of my favorite snack, chocolate covered sticks. From then on out, I have never trusted any primates again.
Some progress...!

Hi peeps! Thanks for liking my sculpt. After hearing a few suggestions from friends in the community, I have decided to name this sculpt “Ama”.
In direct translation, Ama means “Sea Woman”.
Ama (海人, women 海女; men 海士), uminchu (in Okinawan) or kaito (in the Izu Peninsula) are known as Japanese divers. Japanese tradition holds that the practice of ama may be 2,000 years old. If you are interested, check this out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ama_(diving (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ama_(diving))
I have been working on various colorways recently and here are some pics! I'm also planning to have a sale soon, so stay tuned for more updates! ;)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/a9vT6mf.jpg)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/lVGyZfJ.jpg)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/Qo5JLzT.jpg)
Cheers!
Hi guys!
Thank you for waiting patiently with Ama's first sale.
The sale will start at 7 am PST, 1st of December 2018, and it will end in 24 hrs.
It will be in raffle style. Invoices will be sent out within one day after form closed. (Link of the form will be posted later.)
This time, I would also like to giveaway 1 special cap on geekhack! (another 1 will be on reddit)
As you all know, Ama is a sculpt of a kawaii octopus over the head of a woman. Hence, for this giveaway, I would like to see some drawing of octopus!! :-*
Personally, I love drawing and I hope you guys can take this chance to explore your side of creativity too! You can create your masterpiece in any way you like and post a reply here.
The winner will be announced after form closed.
*I will reveal the special cap after I took the pic of it.

Hi guys! So sorry for lack of update in the past week. I have been too busy sanding, checking and packing the caps.
As of Friday, more than 3/4 of the orders had been dropped off at the post office. I will get the tracking number updated this weekend. I also realized that some of the Clime caps have tiny bubbles inside the caps and I would need to recast. But the affected orders will get shipped latest by this coming Tuesday. Do send me a PM if you do not receive the tracking by then.
Have a nice weekend my fam. Happy 420!!!
Hi, I believe some of you have been encountering tracking issues (tracking not showing up online) for the keycap parcels. It was found that some of the parcels were remained unprocessed in the post office due to some changes in their postage system where all informations for the small packets has to be keyed into the system individually. The post office is still adapting the new practice so perhaps this is making things slower than usual.
I’m aware that there are still a few untrackable parcel today. If those parcels are still untrackable by the end of this week, I’ll do a refund for the order and shipped a free cap to these affected orders.
I’m sorry for the inconveniences caused.

Is this the right site to check the tracking numbers? https://www.lwe.asia/tracking/track
I got a tracking number in late April but it doesn't show up as a valid number.

Hi 3tonjack,
I would recommend anyone to use tracking17 to track my parcels because it can track any parcel sent via any courier service. I use Malaysia pos to send the parcel and not lwe. I'm sorry if I have provided the wrong logistic service on paypal.

Recently got into artisans and have to say that Ama is my favorite sculpt. I started collecting the ones I could find, but I couldn’t find much info on the nautical blue and Harley Quinn colorways. We’re those two ever released?

I'm praying for a win here! Almost didn't join Bliss too since I wasn't sure about the R3 uniform profile, but I'm glad I did now!Stop rubbing it in
Is there a reason that we need a Bliss order for this? This would go extremely well with Olivia as well, and I'd love to have it for that set.I think it's nice for people who have the keyset to have a chance at a matching artisan first before the rest of the community. Almost like the Cherry on top of your new keyset. There's always the chance to trade for it for it after the fact

Good stuff on the Bliss caps, especially those cheeks! Any chance you can drop a hint on if/when you'll be having a more public sale in the future? Might help those that feel like they couldn't partake in Bliss feel a bit better knowing something more accessible is coming after such a long break.
Keep up the great work! :thumb:

Yeah getting to participate in a new sale was awesome
Thank you everyone who joined the sales and supported Wildstory Caps! Here are some updates.Thanks for the update! Stay well!
I will be shipping the caps by end of next week. Due to the strict lockdown situation here in Malaysia and the climbing rates of covid infections in my area, I will try to visit the post office as less frequently as I can and hopefully I can mail all caps in one big batch.
Once the cap is shipped, I will update the tracking numbers to Paypal. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to send me a pm.
