You should be very proud of yourself. I know you are going to do amazing with this project but also your future endeavors. I look forward to watch you grow and succeed!
Kickstarter! I’m so happy for you, really. I still remember your vlog from Bologna when you said that the book fair was both inspiring and overwhelming because of the number of talented artists. I felt all that self-doubt, and now look where you are! You did this all by yourself with so much hard work. I wish you all the best!
Kickstarter! I am so excited for you! I can't wait to get my signed copy of your book! Best of luck at the Exhibition and classes you have coming up! Looking forward to your next video and all the good news you'll have to share! You deserve all the success that can come your way!

Kickstarter! Congratulations on your success. You've earned every bit of it, and I am so tickled that it poured in so quickly and alleviated one kind of stress for you. You are an inspiration and I can't wait to see where this takes you next. Wishing you all the best!
Thank you for sharing about your Calmtober. I will try to do it this year. I do inktober now for three years and this will be my fourth year and it is so fun and challenging. I do paint a lot of my prompts. I have published my fort children's book this last year. I never dreamed of writing and illustrating a book. It just kind of happened from a piece of art I made in 2019 and then four year of working on the illustrating and then I did hire a lady to help selfpublish since I am not good with tech. It has beena an amazing journey and I am working very slowly om a second book as well. I found out about you through a Melonie Chadwick RUclips and have loved her and now you too. I also live not so far away from Sandy Hester who lead me to Melonie so very small world now and I an so glad you are in my path now.
Kickstarter,so happy that your Kickstarter has done so well,and your beautiful birds in colour book is going to happen,and glad it's given you inspiration for the future as well,thank you for answering my question in this video too.We've seen how much you've loved creating the book and I just know the book will be loved and treasured by all of us that receive a copy,congratulations on this huge creative milestone,it's so wonderful it really is.(Matt) P.S either week in October is okay for me but maybe a weekend live may be better in terms of people being home/around
I'm so happy you finally achieved your dream, Kriksis! You deserve it, never doubt that. I can see that you put love into everything you do. From now on, may your path be even more blessed, happy, easier, and prosperous ♡
Hello Kriksis, congratulations on your success, I am soooooo.... happy for you. Much deserved, enjoy your success and continue to believe in the power of your dreams. Kickstarter.
Kickstarter! Ooh I’m so glad I watched this just now and had the reminder to go back it and pledge for signed book!! Excited for it to be my Christmas present!! Luckily with only 90 mins left! 🎉Congratulations!! (I wasn’t surprised it was so beloved) Yay ❤
Just backed. Much looking forward to receiving the book in print late Nov/early Dec. Well done you! best regards from Inge, The Netherlands. Kickstarter.
Kickstarter! Yay, I am so extremely proud of you and so happy for this huge and absolutely deserved milestone. I remember your first steps here on RUclips, and we kinda fell into birds together at the same time, it is an immense honor for me to witness your growth. I am sending you love and vibes!!!
hello Vera! Thank you so much for lovely comment! Yes I do remember the early beginnings and also remember how you talked about your love for birds :) thank you! I am sending love and good vibes your way as well!
Wow to all that you have going on! 💕 ☕️ You posted on my bday☺️. Your joy and success are the very best kind of gift! 💕☕️ Looking forward to your beautiful book and art to have and share with my grandson. 💕☕️ Thank you for letting us tag along thru YT and now Kickstarter
KICKSTARTER - I am SO EXCITED for you, Kriksis, for meeting your Kickstarter goal! I'm so happy that I went out to Kickstarter, and at that time, saw that you were close to meeting your goal. I had to participate in your campaign as I had watched your RUclips videos as you were illustrating "Birds in Colour" and I was hooked! I pledged on your Kickstarter campaign and then watched as you surpassed your set goal. Congratulations on your hard work and determination. You have demonstrated to your followers that hard work can be so fulfilling if we continue to strive to meet our own personal goals. Sending you big hugs!
thank you so much LuAnna for your sweet comment! And for being here and watching the project behind the scenes. Well said and so true! Dreams can become reality!
Kickstarter! Such a delight to see you so excited about your book and everything else that is happening Kriksis. A lovely chatty video. I have covid at the moment and feel really rubbish so really enjoyed listening to all your positive news whilst resting in bed with a big mug of hot chocolate. Looking forward to receiving my book xx
I feel so happy to see you understanding how much support you are receiving on YT. It's be a slow, lovely delight to get to know you and your art and process. I look forward to recieving this book and learning more about what your future projects will be. Take care, be cozy and creative! Kickstarter.
Congratulations on the success of your Kickstarter Kriksis! I am so pleased to hear that your beautiful book will now be published. Personally, I would love it if you created a colouring book in the future. A wildlife themed colouring book would be fantastic!
Kickstarter, I just wanted to let you know that I think it’s absolutely fantastic that you have exceeded your goals. I wish you had is much faith and confidence in yourself as all of us do your book is simply beautiful, and although I wasn’t able to purchase one because I live in Australia just getting a book would be over $85 Australian it was a little out of my price range, but I have been a long time since you started and I am so happy that you’ve had your dream realise. Congratulations you should be so proud of yourself. I absolutely love and adore your style. Lots of love from Australia
Kickstarter! Congratulations Kriksis. I am so happy for you. Will you be printing enough books to sell on your website or is the only way to get one is through Kickstarter?
thank you so much Susan! I will sell books on website as well, will put it soon there as preorder, hoping to pack after all Kickstarter books in mid/end of November so they can still arrive before Christmas :)
Kickstarter! Thank you for answering my question I really liked your answer! When you have the books published, have you thought about approaching some local bookshops to see if they’d like to take it? There’s a beautiful one in Falmouth, Waterstones take local artists books and a fantastic one in Penzance called The Edge of the World bookshop who pride themselves in supporting local creators. Just a thought. Many congratulations, look after yourself so you can keep up the pace ❤
@@kriksis I am so so excited! I can't wait to get one! I'm really happy that your kickstarter was funded because I've been looking forward to this for so long :)
