What We're Offering...

  • A splendid set of Woodchi Seasonal Postcards. These postcards are utterly colorable but certifiably sendable just as they are.
  • Tiny Treasures from the Hidden Valleys of the Dragonetti. These perfectly polished little enamel pins of the illustrious but illusive Dragonetti are great for gifting or coveting for your very own collection, and each comes with a field spotter’s card.
  •  Add ons… the festive Gift Sets are back! - Gift tags, Bookmarks and Prints
  • Stretch Goals!

We hope to see you there! And don't forget to tell your friends!

All the Best,

Lara, Eric & Woodchi

The Little Project that Could
over 6 years ago – Sat, Dec 02, 2017 at 12:31:19 PM

Whoo-hoo!!! We made it! Thanks to all of you this humble little project was very successful! You managed to unlock all three stretch goals and have helped us open the door to a WoodChi world of possibilities. Yes, truly you have made it a magical month for us!!

Don't know how many of you are Mel Torme (aka The Velvet Fog) fans, or if you've even heard of him. But you've all heard this timeless treasure "A Christmas Song" sometime in your life. We think this lesser known diddy from the master of mellow smoothness, compliments this project like "warm woolen mittens and whiskers on kittens" and how we feel right about now!!

A Very Grateful Greeting from Lloyd 

I want to thank you all so very much for backing this little WoodChi project, it thrills my heart to be able to share my world with you.  

Eric has been telling me how outrageously awesome you all are. I think so too. I think it takes an adventurous character to back an indie project for a thing that’s a little bit different. Which is a bonus because the future of Woodchi is one of exploring worlds that are a little bit different .. so to take off where Calvin (& Hobbes) left off, “let’s go exploring!”  

..Oh, and keep an eye on the old e-mail box around that festive day later this month. I've got a lot of work on my plate, so it's back to business, dreaming, inking and charting the course for New Horizons."

bestest, best wishes,

Lloyd

Just a side note: We decided to make the Sakura print 7.5" x 3.5" (19.05 cm x 8.89 cm) to preserve the original design Lloyd intended, and seeing the proof, it was the right decision :)

Well, us elves got to get to work and start preparing your packages!!

See you soon,

Eric & Lara
