Hey, friends: We’re hand-machining two types of amulets out of raw block aluminum for our Indiegogo donors.

The end result is a glossy, lightweight, rough-hewn one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry suitable for sweetening your ensemble, deflecting bullets or reflecting flirty glints of love into desirable people’s eyes.

Here’s the process we go through to make a slice amulet ($35 level – which also gets the sticker, XyloVan crew patch and a place of honor on the Roster of Love).

Please share this link and encourage your friends to give us a hand! This is just one of the cool perks we’re offering in thanks!

Hey, friends – the BoingBoing coverage gave us a nice little bump, but we want to keep our momentum going.

In 2 days, we’ll be 25% through our campaign, and we’d like to be past 25% of our goal. Help us get to $2,500 before Thursday!

Please share our campaign link with anyone you know who loves XyloVan but is hanging back for now – and if you’re hanging back, well jump on in!

We need your help to bring the marvelous XyloVan back to the people – and we’re offering sweet handmade perks in thanks for your help. Give us a hand!

Big news – We just got featured on BoingBoing!

A huge thanks to Cory for taking note of our work – we couldn’t be more thrilled.

And welcome, BoingBoing readers! We hope you enjoy what you see here and spread the word about our project.

Somewhere out there, we just know there’s a music lover who needs a handbuilt xylophone, Xylovan rides and a personal Xylovan appearance or two – Take a gander at our perks and give us a hand!
