Hello all! Ok this is going to be a long one.
First off, a bunch of packages went out on Thursday, so some people might be getting them today! I’ve been so swamped I haven’t even been able to tell you guys yet! International orders have yet to go out, and a couple domestic people I’ve pm’d to get things rolling.
There’s a few clarifications to make. So at least some of the ‘error’ cubes that I had wanted to be included in the order, had been reused in these new ones. So yes, the error cubes were included, but they had just been reused :/
Communication issues can be a bit baffling sometimes.
So because there are no ‘error kaps’ ie from before this first batch, instead I’ve given each of you one from the “substandard but awesome unique/interesting defect/shimmer too good to pass up” category. Only 12 Kaps got put in there. Here’s a video of the coolest one I’ve found
https://youtu.be/61oxAvgA3S8The individually wrapped Kap you’ll find in your package (the one not in a black drawstring bag) will be the one from that category.
A couple notes on the COAs.
Karma isn’t mine to dish out, so everyone’s COAs are printed as they should be. I just hope people research who they do business with before conducting it. I think that’s all I should say on that.
Also a concern I have is of the qr code fading over time. It’s printed on some nice parchment paper, but as some of you may notice, on a few of the COAs the qr code has a small portion a bit faded already. I had to reprint a few to make sure the qr codes scanned, so I made sure each one actually does scan.
I really have no clue how much these will fade, and if that will impact the qr code enough to ruin the scan. I considered laminating them, but realized the embossing stamp I have is not strong enough to really punch into that. It’s a little handheld embosser, not a desktop one which could provide substantially more force.
I’m not sure I’d like these laminated anyways. I have such an affinity for natural materials that covering plastic over the parchment seemed like the wrong direction to go.
Some very disappointing news on the rest of the Kaps in stock. After opening the last 3 ‘bricks’ of Kaps, almost 2 entire packs were rejects. Little chips and rough designs everywhere
After all is said and done, there are no Kaps left in stock that meet my standards for shipping. About 40 or so are in the “substandard” category, not the outright rejects. These Kaps are close to good enough, sometimes really really close. I’m considering selling them in discounted pairs for people to use more to roll than put on a shelf. If you don’t need them to look perfect, would people be interested in still buying these? I’ll get some sample pics up of the substandard ones. Maybe a video.
There’s a bunch more of an update to write I think but I’ll get this one posted for now.
Take care everyone,
KP
