Hey there!

We have 4 days left and the Poll results are in! Because of your votes, we officially unlocked 2 new pins!!

The winners:

Venom in Bloom is currently a work-in-progress sketch and will be refined to include these 2 beautiful poisonous flowers: Hellebore and Oleander~ Keep an eye out on the next update to see the final design ^_^

Thank you so much everyone for voting and helping shape the path of this campaign!! :)

Both new pin unlocks are now live in the Add-On shop! I’ve also added bundle options so you can grab multiple pins at a discounted price~

Wiieee! Squee! We are funded and then some!
Awesome stuff <3 Thank you all. So many of you have backed for 4+ pins/sets, it’s amazing. I feel truly grateful. To celebrate I added a new mini mushroom to the freebies mix.

When we reach 3750, all backers with 4+ Pins and or sets will geen the Green Mini mushroom! We only 200 off, so I feel this is pretty achievable :).

And for the followers of this project; 4h remaining on the early bird deals!

 

Now, sitting here for the next three weeks is kinda boring. So I wanted to add some extra stretch goals, for which I need your input. I truly didn’t think we would get this far, so I’m massively unprepared ;). However, I do have some sketches that you can vote on as additional pins. Keep in mind, sketches! Very much not final designs.

Field guides
One? Or more nature related field guides. 
Concept:  1.5-1.75”, gold enamel like the rest of the pins. 
One design would unlock at 4K. 

Spring time tea
Tea is one of my favourite beverages and I love different teas during the year, matching the season. I don’t have sketches for the other seasons, so it’s just spring tea for now. 
Concept: 1.75”-2” pin, pearl swirl on the white porcelain. Unlocks at 4K. 

Majestic tree
Because gnarly trees are the best. This sketch is still very rough. I want to play with some border decorations and gradient background.
Concept: 1.75-2”, UV printed gradient background, gold enamel. Unlocks at 4K.

Green Mushroom for everyone
The current goal is to a free pin for everyone that backed 4+ pins or pin sets. At 4K everyone would get a free green mini pin.
Mini pins are all 0.75”

You can vote below what your favourite option is! Also feel free to comment which field guides appeals the most to you or if there is something else you would like to see.

Thank you all so much for this amazing launch <3

Hello Everyone!

There was an issue that came up after the end of the campaign where backers who backed the 3+ projects under the themed banner were not receiving the respective Bloom & Burrow mini pins from each creator in their survey incentives. Since this issue affected multiple projects, I contacted Backerkit to look into this issue. They were able to identify the outliers that weren't included and make a list of who was left out so I could add the incentive to those accounts.

This issue should be fixed and the Bloom & Burrow mini pin should pop up in your packing list if you qualify. I also make sure to cross check the associated incentive lists when it is time for packing, so this issue should be resolved.

In addition to this, I decided to include the Hellebore pin design as a design option since it was so close to unlocking. Art files have been sent to manufacturing and production should hopefully start soon!

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email me at [email protected]

Thanks!
Allison

I want to write to you a short update about the project status.

First;
The surveys from the pay over time backers are out! I kindly request to fill these out asap so I can continue with fulfilment.

Second;
Fulfilment has started.

Partner collab orders US: They have arrived at Lantern Arcana and they have been shipping them out in batches.
Partner collab orders EU/World: Lantern Arcana has packaged everything and the parcel is on its way to me. I expect it to arrive in 1-2weeks.
 
Individual orders EU/World: Have been shipped
Individual orders US 7 pre-orders: Have been packed & waiting for POT surveys so they can be shipped.

So slow but steady and right on schedule :). Please fill in the POT surveys - so all US bound parcels can be shipped out.

Third and last;
Fungi & Faeries is launching in 3 weeks! I have been working hard on all designs and I’m excited to expand my mushroom collection. There wil be a group pin and a returning backer pin. So join us in the magical realm of mushrooms.

Hello everyone!!

I’m excited to share that we’re making great progress on the pins! While I’ve been away, production has continued moving along smoothly and I just received news that they’re almost complete. They’re currently finishing a few final details on some of the pins but I couldn’t be happier with how everything is turning out. The progress photos look incredible and I’m so excited to finally share them with you all!

Please note that these photos are directly from the manufacturer, so I don’t have the pins in hand just yet. The current ETA is the end of this month for them to ship out to me where I’m hoping they’ll arrive sometime in June. I should have a much clearer timeline once I receive the shipping information.

First up, previews from the main lineup!

For the “Moon Blossom” pin, the manufacturer mentioned it was difficult to capture the pearlescent finish on the flower in photos, but they assured me it’s much more visible in person. It’s a bit easier to see on the “Night Bloom” pin, though they’re still finishing the screen-printed details on that one, so it’s a little less polished than the others at the moment. Even so, I really wanted to share it with you all anyway!

Next up, the mini pins! These have completely stolen my heart. It’s my first time making pins this small but I already know it won’t be the last. They’re just too cute! 

In my previous update, I mentioned that I got to experiment with some fun glow colors and they turned out even better than I hoped! I haven’t seen many glow in the dark effects that can achieve reds and oranges so well, so I was thrilled when that became an option. Most of my work tends to lean toward blues, purples, and greens, so with this collection I wanted to step a little outside my comfort zone and I’m really glad I did! 

 For the backs of the pins, I decided to go with laser engraving instead of a mold because we felt it would give the cleanest and best overall result. 

On another note, I’m a little behind on locking orders and reaching out to UK backers. I needed a couple of extra days to recover from jet lag, I honestly didn’t expect it to hit me quite so hard! Thankfully, I’m feeling much better now but I also wanted to give everyone a little extra time in case you needed to make any final changes.

Orders will now officially lock and final payments (including shipping) will be collected on SUNDAY, MAY 24TH!

For UK backers specifically: I’ll be reviewing your surveys this weekend and reaching out around the same time, so please keep an eye out for an email from me. There’s absolutely no rush, I just feel bad keeping you waiting this long, and I really appreciate everyone’s patience while I work through everything!

I should be receiving more photos soon, and once I do, I’ll have another update to share with you all! Until then, take care everyone!
