Toothy Tangles Colouring Book
Donation protected
Once upon a time, wee little Robin picked up a crayon and started doodling strange things. She never stopped, but somewhere along the way, grown-up Robin traded her crayons for fine-tipped pens. She has illustrated everything from custom wall art to one-of-a-kind tattoos, and this Toothy Tangles colouring book is her latest creative venture. Grab your favourite markers or pencils, and add a splash of colour to the darkest depths of Robin's imagination!

I'm hoping to have these ready to ship out and have them arrive to you before Christmas!!!
WHAT I HAVE DONE:
I spent the last few months drawing the art for an 8.5" by 11", 35 to 40 page, spiral bound colouring book.
Printed in black ink and on one side of the page only to prevent any bleed through from markers.
Each freehand image takes roughly 4 hours to complete and I hope to have 50 drawings to choose from.
During that time, I have also been researching and gathering information about how to self publish a book and have been going over reward levels.

Shipping within Canada for the Toothy Tangles colouring book will be $5. I will calculate the cost for more books should I have to ship more than one at a time.
International shipping will be calculated at a later date.
I suspect it will be about $7-$10/book but can calculate the cost for more books should I have to ship more than one at a time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WHAT I NEED:
I have finished most of the art but now I need funding for printing and pre/post-production expenses.
$500 - PRINTING FEES
This is the average estimate from several places I have spoken to.
$85/hr - IMAGE ADJUSTMENTS
For adjusting contrast etc. on all images. Hopefully it won't take more than an hour.
$300 - ART SUPPLIES, such as but not limited to:
- Inspirational books.
- 3 good sketchbooks.
- Many, many, many Pigma Micron, ink pens. So. Many. Pens.
- Mechanical pencils and lead, kneadable rubber eraser and peel-off magic rub erasers.
$150 - PROMOTIONAL SUPPLIES for the Pop Up Shop:
- Pencil crayons.
- Markers.
- Folders for single, original art pieces.
- 3 high quality sketchbooks .
- Glass cabochons and settings.
- Keychains and necklaces.
- 4 - 5 packages of self laminating sheets (small size).
$150 - SPLIT BETWEEN MY FAB HELPERS for their help with:
- Supply runs.
- Research.
- Rides to check out printing shops.
- Writing and proof reading.
- Dealing with and supporting my crazy self.
$5 - 1 PKG OF TREATS for my Kitty Supervisors (which will also secretely be shared with the other kitties)
- They make sure that I take breaks by lying on my work
- They also approve each piece for me.
I'm actually serious about the lounging on my sketchbook or pens so that I take a break.
Ah, kitties =^.^=
GRAND TOTAL: $1190
** New goal is a stretch goal**
