Under the magical light of a harvest moon, shy and elusive creatures come to life…the adorable Lunar Jackalope!
These creatures discover they are very different from a typical hare and just want to find a place where they belong in this scary new world. They may start their journey alone, but will you help them find their forever home?
Jackalopes born during the Harvest Moon represent self-growth and development. They have a deep love for learning and are always looking for ways to expand their knowledge and abilities, not only for themselves but to inspire others to reach their highest potential as well. It takes a lot of practice, but the most determined Harvest Jackalopes gain the ability to enchant seeds that will grow into magical plant/veggie creatures!
Hello and welcome! I’m Danie (She/They), a merch designer and illustrator based out of Washington state known for creating whimsical yet spooky artwork. I run Curious Nature Studio, my creative lair where I make mythical items inspired by my love for fantasy & creatures of folklore!
Back in 2023 I decided to take the big leap and venture into the world of Plush toys. With the big success of Once in a Blue Moon Jackalope Collection last May we are back with our newest addition to the family, Harvest Moon!
This campaign aims to raise funds to expand my Lunar Jackalope collection, with an initial funding goal of $4,500. This amount will cover costs for creating the Harvest Moon plush toy, Blue “Mini-Moon” plush keychain, Harvest Moon sticker sheet, vinyl sticker, and glow-in-the-dark enamel pin. After reaching this goal, additional stretch goals may be unlocked, which could include new add-ons, upgrades, color variations, or backer rewards!
Lunar Jackalope plush toys are designed to be cuddly and comforting, standing tall at 13.5 inches! They are crafted with super soft grey minky fabric and feature a fuzzy orange faux mane. These plush toys also have enchanting embroidered details with stars and moons that give off a comforting glow in the dark if they have been charged under natural or bright light!
However, Harvest Moon won’t be the only new friend we can unlock this campaign…
Meet Mini Moon, your perfect pocket-sized companion! Standing at 4 inches, this charming keychain features incredibly soft minky fur and glow-in-the-dark embroidery. Complete with a secure keyring and loop, it’s ideal for adding a touch of whimsy to your keys, bags, or backpacks!
As of June 5th, this project has raised $6,800 of their $4,500 goal. This project has 17 days left to raise as much as it can. For a pledge of $20, you will get one plush keychain. For a pledge of $38, you will get one plushie. To learn more and to pledge money, go to: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/artbydanie/harvest-moon-lunar-jackalope?
