Thank you all SO MUCH again for all the love and support since we launched! I'm having a great time working on this project thanks to all of you!
With that said, it's finally time to reveal the FINAL pin design -- the Backer Voted pin! Drumroll please... your winner is the Progress Pride Flag!
By an INCREDIBLY close margin once again, yeesh! Y'all almost had a SECOND tie!
As a cherry on top, though, I have the design ready for you all NOW! Here it is!
I do have one more exciting announcement -- I will be vending at a VIRTUAL con this weekend that all of you are welcome to attend for FREE! It takes place on Discord via the Spots application -- for more information, you can check out THIS TikTok. It's so cool and I'm excited to be part of a really cool emerging option for artists to get their stuff in front of folks!
Here's a sneak peak at my booth:
I hope to see you all there! I'll also be streaming on Twitch from 1-5pm CST!
So some good and bad news. Good news is that most of the pins have arrived and I am doing the fastest quality checking possible to get these out to your guys asap. This means in about a week or so I will be sending out the 42h notice of your address locking and cards being charged for shipping!
The bad news is that the manu forgot to make the baba yaga disability pins, AND they gave me the incorrect quantities for the rainbow Ouroboros pins AND used the wrong color for the red in the rainbow. 2 of the most popular pins..... Because of this anyone with these pins will be delayed until they are made and sent to me. The estimated time on that would be by the end of the month, so it is very likely those wont ship until next month. Unfortunately this is the reality of producing products. Sometimes delays happen because the manufacturer messes up T^T.
Here are some photos at least of all the pins I have. So sorry for the delay but I hope you like them! They all came out really nice! (Sorry they are mixed with some of last years pins I put them all on a banner to look at all together)
looks great but the red is too orange strait used the wrong color T^T
The pins arrived today! The stickers are scheduled to arrive tomorrow.
We are short on Pride Lion Pins due to a manufacturing error. They are being remade, but they aren’t always fast with remakes. 😬
Are there 22 volunteers who pledged for the PRIDE LION PIN specifically, that would not be upset if they don’t receive their order in time for Pride?
I will add bonus gifts to those who are willing to wait based on what I have left and comparable with order size, stickers or mini pins for smaller orders, an extra lion pin for larger orders, etc.
I apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you in advance!
I have exciting news! The Pridexolotls pins and stickers have arrived! I am currently working through the quality check process and expect to begin packaging and shipping orders within the next few days.
As fulfillment begins, some of you may receive a tracking number before your package is mailed. I typically print shipping labels in batches and then package orders over the following days, so it is normal for tracking to be created before USPS receives the package.
I also wanted to be transparent about a small production issue. One pin design arrived without meeting the final specifications that were approved. Fortunately, this affects fewer than 10 orders, including all of the All the Pridexolotls pledge level. The manufacturer has already been notified, and replacement pins are already being produced. If your order is impacted, I will be reaching out to you directly. The vast majority of orders will not be affected and will ship as planned.
Thank you all for your patience and support throughout this project. It has been wonderful seeing these little axolotls come to life, and I can't wait to start getting them into your hands soon.
And if you’ve enjoyed the Pridexolotls journey, I’d love for you to join me for what’s next: Guardians of the Cosmos: Gilded Fables. Created for PinQuest 2, this series draws from the timeless tradition of storytelling through stained glass windows and the iconic magical girl genre. Our signature Mythglass pins combine translucent enamel, hard enamel, glitter, and polished metal to recreate the beauty and brilliance of illuminated glasswork, transforming each Guardian into a radiant work of art.
The pins and stickers have shipped! I do not have a delivery date yet, it is an international shipment, and the estimated delivery date is often very wrong. 😅
Sorry for the double ping for those of you who have backed the Quacken campaign as well, but I do have an update for this campaign!
Keychains are officially on their way to me. I should be getting them in the next week or two as long as they aren’t held up in customs.
I also received the pride mask pins today!
Once they keychains arrive, I’ll be continuing shipping for those of you who are only receiving stickers, keychains, and/or the pride mask pin. Addresses for these will lock on June 1st.
I was sent a few photos of the other pins in production, so I’ll share those as well ^^
Thank you all, and I hope you have a great weekend!
