Love the spider, especially the one on purple!  The witch looks nicely detailed too, though I'm not sure where it fits on a cap...

I'll be watching for updates on this sale :)

The spider is great.

These are triple-shots, or are you making them in glass, somehow?

I'm not exactly sure you would call what we are doing shotting, we are putting colors in our keycaps using a really old glass technique that we have transferred to resin casting allowing us very careful control over colors and details, but still all done in the mold. We aren't really sure how other folks are doing their colors but this is working for us so far. It is very labor intensive and time consuming, but giving great results! No glass in them... Yet...  ;)

Thank you everyone!! We are super excited to get these out and get actual feed back on them, we really hope our different techniques will appeal to everyone.
   
 For the witch questions,  she will definitely be more of a collector cap than a functional cap, she will be pretty tall. We will be doing some more like her (collectible and less than functional) and some more towards the functional side of life also.

Only a few more hours to enter the pre-sale giveaway, see OP for the link to the form, I'll shut it down just before 4pm :) Otherwise we are working hard on the caps for the sale! We will be getting some pics out before hand also, so stay tuned.

So the good news, apparently, is there are mostly cupcakes in the giveaway, looks like that may be the popular one! I worked out a form that the winners will receive to help guide which key they might receive... So, emails to the winners will come first after the drawing, then I'll post a winners list as I get responses back (since I forgot to ask for ways to publicly identify people on the entry form & I don't want to be throwing email addys out to the public, OOPS!!)

In about 3 minutes, I'll shut down the form, then remove duplicates, then run a random number generator 10 times to get the winners, then I'll email everyone, so it'll be a few mins before the emails go out! I'll report back in once emails are sent

Giveaway update... I'm still waiting for 3 responses from winners, unfortunately one of which was the first drawn, so I can't assign keys and start shipping without hearing from them. I'll be sending out emails to the folks I haven't heard from, and if after that I don't hear from them will decide how to proceed so I can get these shipped out!!

Ok, good news and bad news! 

 Good news, I have heard from the number 1 pick in the giveaway and have them ready to ship so winners should be hearing from me tomorrow with shipping info.

Bad news, we are delaying the sale by a few days, we have been working like crazy but got a bit overloaded, so we just need a few more days to put the final touches on these pieces. New sale date will be Friday, 10/23/15 starting at 3:00PM Pacific Time.

Good news - Here is a preview pic of what's to come!  These are all colored in the mold, not painted. We use a modified technique taken from a very old glass casting process so we are able to get a wide variety of colors in our caps. Some of the caps (the witches and ghosts) are quite dysfunctional, and aimed to be mostly collector pieces.  Hope you all like them!!

Thanks everyone!! I'll be getting the link for the sales form up probably late Thursday, but it won't open until the sale starts. There will pretty much be 1 of each color in this sale, even of the single shots so we can have more of the fancy ones (& they are all uniquely colored) without getting too many pieces overall.
