We also wanted to thank you for helping us launch the World of WoodChi holiday coloring collection with original art by Lloyd Ash Pyne a new venture for Playing Grounded. This little project reaped wonderful results and a lot of enthusiastic praise. We look forward to another fun filled campaign next year, so look for more on that.

Lara and I  want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and of course a wonderful New Year. See you in 2018!!

All the best,

We weren't looking for big money on this one, just looking to get our feet wet with something a little different than our puzzles that would be simple, fun, and of course  will arrive before December 24th. We'll be shipping rewards pretty much after we lock down all the backers which should be sometime next week.

So with that here is the link to the campaign, even if you don't want to back it, sharing goes a long way and we do appreciate it : ) The funds collected from this campaign will be used  to offset some of the costs involved in making the 1st World of WoodChi coloring book next year with plenty of secrets and surprises in the campaign.

Well that's it, enjoy your December and your well wishing Holiday plans. we'll be back a little later with new puzzle news for the coming year. Stay tuned!

Best,

Lara

 

Nothing to do with puzzles...but please read!
over 6 years ago – Wed, Nov 08, 2017 at 10:21:29 PM

Hello All! 

Just a quick update that has nothing to do with puzzles, but first...keep those finished puzzle pix coming. We've been enjoying all of your posts and messages showing your finished puzzles! We're so glad you're taking time to enjoy them. We're still planning to do the framing tutorial.Things have been extremely busy here as I just launched a new Kickstarter - more on that in a sec - and we're preparing for a Christmas show at our local Expo Center in 2 weeks. So much to do, so little time!

 

The World of WoodChi 

Recently, Eric and I teamed up with British artist and good friend Lloyd Ash Pyne to introduce his WoodChi brand to the adult coloring world. Last week I launched a Kickstarter for The WoodChi Holiday Coloring Collection: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/playinggroundedltd/world-of-woodchi-holiday-coloring-collection

 

Through this Kickstarter we are offering two different WoodChi coloring gift sets (or a Deluxe Set which includes both). Each set includes 4 different gift tags and a bookmark. Our goal is to raise money to produce a WoodChi coloring book in 2018. We've already surpassed our $300 pledge goal and unlocked our first stretch goal. We need to reach $500 to unlock our second stretch goal.

 

Like with our puzzle art, Lloyd's art is not your typical coloring book art. It's fun, it's whimsical and it's very unique. We're all about unique. I have always loved coloring, and it's a thrill to have the opportunity to color Lloyd's art, so this project is pretty special to me. 

 

If you know of anyone who loves coloring or might like some neat gifts to give this year, please tell them to check out our Kickstarter. Thank you!

Don't worry, we're still serious puzzles! We'll be launching AT LEAST one Kickstarter next year for new titles. Stay tuned for more on that later. 

For anyone who's going to be in the Lebanon area for Thanksgiving, please come see us at Christmas at the Lebanon Expo Center Nov. 24 - 26. We'd love to see you:)

That's all for now. Take care!

All the Best,

Lara

Welcoming You to the World of WoodChi
over 6 years ago – Sat, Oct 21, 2017 at 06:49:30 PM

What in the world is WoodChi?

A fair question that deserves a fair explanation. WoodChi can only be described as a conjuration flowing and teaming with life. Creator, artist and dreamweaver Lloyd Ash Pyne, has given us the esteemed privilege of being able to share with you the wealth of wonders that await in this microcosmic universe of his making. 

 A place where high spirits abound, you will find the wee folk that ride on the currents of wind and rolling seas, from mountain peaks and hillsides, to distant valleys and rugged plains, through marsh and moors. Down winding roads and forgotten paths that lead through wildful woods.

Correction to update #19
over 6 years ago – Wed, Oct 04, 2017 at 01:40:23 AM

Hey Everyone,

Just a quick correction from our last update. When I said that we had concluded fulfillment and all but one backer received their puzzles, I was referring to our US backers. Sorry for the misunderstanding. 

We are well aware that international shipping takes longer, and thus some of you who live outside of the US and Europe still have not received your puzzles. If you're still waiting and haven't gotten your tracking information, AND you backed for two or more puzzles, then let us know and we'll send you the information. 

That's all for now. Thanks for your comments about our tutorial!

All the Best,

Lara and Eric
