Pledges = Fulfilled!
Today's the day! Everyone waiting on their handles should get a shipping notification today, with the exception of a few backers whose pledges included stained handles (which take a few days to finish and will ship next week). If you haven't gotten one by tomorrow, please get in touch.
Thank you all so much for your support! We're so excited to have the painting handles out in the world and hear what everyone thinks. They got a great reception at Adepticon and it was great to meet some backers. If you want to order more handles after you get to try yours, you can visit www.jollylark.com to get more!
The painting handles are also available to your local store - just let them know to reach out and get in touch.
Packing Squad Painter Pledges This Morning
New Kickstarter: Robed Cultist Miniatures!
With this Kickstarter just about wrapped up, we're excited to announce our next project: The Cult Rises!
Past and future, shadowy, robed figures are always a sign that things are about to go sideways...
Whether you're defending a holy cathedral, toiling away in the divine forges, or conquering the kingdom in the name of the dark one, robes are always in fashion.
This project is making a sprue of plastic miniatures, equipped with a variety of poses, heads, and equipment. These are perfect to use for dungeon-dwelling evildoers or blessed monks. We also have lots of fun add-ons and stretch goals planned! This project should launch in the next couple months.
Whether you just want a small sect to add to your adventures or enough cultists to field an army, you can pledge for this campaign for as many robed miniatures as you need.

Final Shipping Update
The big batch of handles has shipped and is on its way to Jolly Lark HQ! It should arrive next week, then we'll get all remaining pledges shipped as soon as the handles and I are both in Atlanta!
If you need to change your address,this is the absolute, final chance! Please message us ASAP!
Jolly Lark at Adepticon
We were able to divert a box of handles to Adepticon, so if you're at the show, come by booth 900 to check out the handles, talk painting, or pick up your pledge!

Jolly Lark Heads to Adepticon & March Painting Handle Update
about 1 year ago
– Mon, Mar 13, 2023 at 03:45:29 PM
Shipping Update
We are expecting the big batch of Jolly Lark painting handles to arrive in the next week or two! We should be shipping out all the handles by the end of the month. When we were initially planning out this Kickstarter, we thought a March delivery date for the second wave of shipping was leaving PLENTY of extra time. Good thing we knew to plan for the unexpected. With some delays and the factory producing the handles running behind, we’re cutting it close but still on track to ship your handles by the end of March.
That said, the handles might arrive at just the “wrong” time, right when we’re headed to our first convention:
Adepticon!
A last-minute booth spot opened up at Adepticon, so Jolly Lark is headed to Adepticon! We’ll have handles to try out and a couple of spots to sit down and paint. We’ll also have some of the miniatures that have been featured in Jolly Lark painting videos, if you’re curious to see them in person. If you’re planning to attend, we’d love to see you there!
Hopefully, the handles arrive before we need to leave, and we’ll ship everything before the show. Given the information we have right now, it’s possible they’re going to arrive right as we’re leaving or while we’re gone. If that happens, we’ll let you know and get them shipped ASAP, as soon as we’re back from the show on March 28th.
If you’re a backer who hasn’t received your handles yet and you’re planning to be at Adepticon, send me a message and let me know. We’ll do our best to get your pledge ready to be picked up at the show.
Thanks for your support!

We've just gotten news on the production delivery timeline. We're expecting to receive the 2nd wave of handles in 3-4 weeks, after which we can quickly start shipping all the remaining pledges. It won't be much longer before you receive your pledge.
We'll also have some additional stock that will be available online and in local stores, if you want to get more handles!

over 1 year ago

Production Update
Good news! We've just heard the Jolly Lark painting handles are on track to be finished in January, a little earlier than expected! Start assembling your minis now, so you're ready for their arrival!
We want to be ready to start shipping them as soon as they arrive, so it's also time to lock down shipping addresses & payment methods. If you need to update your shipping address, please do so ASAP.
Payment Methods
Next week, we'll lock addresses and charge any un-charged outstanding balance. If you need to change your payment method, now's the time to do that too. This isn't perfect timing, right before the holidays; if that is going to be a problem, please let me know now so I can delay charging your card.
Painting Handles in Action
There's a new "Speedpainting Sylvaneth" Jolly Lark painting video, featuring lots of our wood painting handles. If you'd like to see some tips and techniques for painting tree-folk, or want to see the painting handles in action, check it out:
For those of you who have received your early bird pledges, we'd also love to see your handles in action. Just tag your photos with #jollylark on Instagram!
