We’re halfway through the year (already?!), and July is bringing some fun updates. 

Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning, joined us during the Kickstarter, or just found your way here—we’re so glad you’re part of this. Your support means everything, and we’re looking forward to sharing what’s next.

Zen & Harmony Plushies are officially coming!

The campaign was officially funded last week and we can't thank you enough for your support of Zen & Harmony on Kickstarter! We posted an update on Kickstarter detailing our next steps for backers but if you missed out on the campaign, don't fret you still have options to secure your Zen & Harmony plushies.

• Tentatively scheduled for early August, we will open up a Pre-Order store. Once this is live, you will be able to purchase any of the plushies or add-ons at full retail price. The Pre-Order store will be open for roughly a month.
• If you aren't able to pre-order when that goes live, we will have extras available on our website (Estimated January 2026) but that amount will be finite and won't stay in stock forever. These plushies cost so much to make that we aren't sure when we'd do another production run. 

You can stay up to date on all things Dragons and Beasties by signing up for our newsletter, following us on social media, or joining our Discord community!

Charity Event Success!

Thanks to your generosity, we raised over $2,400 for charity and our collab artists! Your kindness truly made a difference — thank you for supporting these artists & their causes with us. Don't forget to give some love to Aubry Joi, Tokyo Girl Designs & Hyperstixations by giving them a follow on social media!

We are now producing these stickers and will have them shipped out when we get them in mid-late July. If you ordered other items with these charity stickers, they will ship separately. These will be shipping via regular mail but you should still get a shipping notification once these have been mailed to you.

Coming in July

We had A LOT going on in June so this month is going to be a bit lighter for new releases but we've still got some fun new stickers and another batch of puffs on the way.

We are changing our new release day to Fridays for the foreseeable future. This includes new figures, pins, plushies, and stickers in the shop as well as when our auctions and chance to buy items start. Now these will all launch at 10 am MDT on Fridays. Auction and chance to buy items will still end the following Monday around 4 pm MDT.

Available July 18th

Elemental Dragon Stickers $5 ea.
These new stickers all feature the limited edition holographic star pattern.

Pollen Puffs $45 ea.
These solid color Pollen Puffs will only be available as chance to buy items! If you're unfamiliar with our chance to buy system, our handmade page has all the details. There will be 10 Rosies and 5 of each other color up for grabs. At least one new owner will be drawn for each color.

Cozy up with a new stitching project!

We've partnered up with Made by Mishmoo to make official cross stitch patterns featuring Dragons and Beasties artwork. Chibi Zen and a few pollen puffs are available now but we've got more planned.

Head on over to the Dragons and Beasties collection on her website!

If there is a certain character or artwork you'd like to see in cross stitch, let us know by filling out this form!

Kit Heart Compass Pendant

Production is nearly complete so we'll be sending out final invoices for the remaining amount plus shipping. We are planning on sending invoices by July 14 and payment will need to be completed by July 31 to finalize your payment and secure your pendant. The final payment amounts for each pendant will be $40 with a chain and $35 without a chain plus shipping costs. We aren't planning on stocking extras in the shop at this time.

Jade & Lotus are Shipping Soon

Shipping for our Jade & Lotus Pintopia campaign will begin mid-to-late July. If you missed our campaign in January, extras will be available in the shop this fall.

New Stories for Everybody!

We’re making some changes to our Emberglow Explorer's Club postcard subscription. The TLDR is that while we love the postcards, they are taking too much of Becca's time and more importantly rushing the stories she wants to tell. We also want those stories to be available to everybody and tell them at the right pace. We are working on a website re-design in July and will be excited to share some new stories with everybody when that is ready.

Starting in August, we'll have a new digital tier for $3/month and an updated physical tier for $15/month. Read all about them on our Ko-fi blog → Changes to Emberglow Explorer's Club.

If you are subscribed during July, you'll get the following four stickers below as the culmination of the postcard series. 

We'll also make any extra postcards available for purchase on our Ko-Fi Shop later in July. These will be $15 ea. for subscribers or $18 ea. for non-subscribers.

Meet Us at FanX (SLC)

We’ll be at FanX in Salt Lake City this year September 25th-27th! We're planning a small meetup before the show on the 24th and would love to have an estimation on how many of you would be interested in joining us. It's meant to be a chill hang out with crafts and snacks to chat with fellow fans and the DB crew.

We'll have more details to share closer to the date but please fill out this form if you are interested in attending. If you are in the area, you are welcome to come to the meetup even if you aren't attending FanX.

Before we go, check out this FanX exclusive puff we're going to have at our booth!
