Hello everyone! just wanted to post a quick reminder that BackerKit surveys are now live!
If you haven't filled yours out yet, please try to do so before August 5, 2026.
Here's what you'll need to do:
Choose your enamel pin(s)
Add any extra pins, sticker sheets, or tote bags you'd like
Confirm your shipping address
Shipping will NOT be charged yet. I'm collecting shipping closer to fulfillment so I can charge the most accurate shipping rates once the pins have been manufactured and are ready to ship.
Survey Deadline August 5, 2026
After August 5th, I'll begin:
Finalizing production quantities
Ordering the pins and other merchandise
Preparing everything for manufacturing
If you need to make changes before then, you can reopen and edit your survey at any time.
If you have any questions or run into any issues with your survey, please don't hesitate to send me a message—I'm always happy to help!
Thank you all again for making Carnival of Colors: Pride Jesters possible. I seriously couldn't have done this without you, and I'm so excited to start bringing these little jesters to life!
If you don't complete your survey by August 5th, your rewards may be delayed since I won't know which pin(s) you'd like to receive.
With orders locked and all surveys completed, here are the final counts for pin orders and the announcement for the top 3 winners!
Screenshot from the Patchkins Pride Pins pledge manager showing the order counts for all pins!
Ezra the Rainbow Fox, Haru the Asexual Bunny, and Pippin the Pansexual Puppy are the winners!

Here are their full designs that'll be offered as plush for the Pride 2027 campaign!
Designs are subject to tweaks as I see fit before prototyping their plush counterparts, but they should largely remain similar to this! :)
Be sure to follow my Backerkit so you don't miss their Pride campaign announcement around April 2027!
Thank you all for your support on this campaign as a ways to help me see which are the most desired flags! I have my own biases, so I'm really glad I could get all of your input~
Pins are full speed ahead in production, so I'll be back with another update once they're wrapping up production so I can charge you all for shipping :)
Until then, if you have any questions, feel free to email me at [email protected] ♥
Thank you for your patience with this campaign, the surveys are complete.
I have sent out the first smoke test just to make sure that it works.
Due to the amount of options available which I weren't be doing again... I have had to create a free form questions for you to write down your choices as this will save time an prevent mistakes being made due to the volume of picks someone might make.
Surveys are closing & orders are locking on July 17th after 11:59 PM CST!
This is your chance to make any last-minute selections and/or changes. You won't be charged for shipping yet, and you'll still be able to update your address as needed.
Thanks so much for the majority of you guys filling out your surveys quickly! Because of this, I was able to place the pin order sooner than scheduled. As of writing, we're only waiting on 1 backer to complete their survey. All surveys are completed, thank you!!
Once all surveys are closed & orders are locked, I'll post another update to announce the top 3 ordered pins— aka the winners who will become plush for Pride 2027! :D
If you need me for issues with your survey or anything else, please reach out via email at [email protected]. I don’t get timely notifications for comments left on updates, though I will periodically check for them.
As you probably already have seen i have sent out the surveys. Today i also ordered the pins from my manufacturer 🥳🎉
In the meantime i would like to remind the few people that have not picked pins yet to do that as fast as possible as the orders will be locked next week 😊
We are still working on getting our Pride eyes Pledge manager finished. We are working on putting in the pride eyes that did not get funded into the Preorder page in order to try and help get them funded.
we still have some backers who have not paid yet. So please make sure you pay soon.
First off, thank you all so much for helping bring Carnival of Colors: Pride Jesters to life. Seeing this project fund has honestly been amazing, and I couldn't have done it without all of you.
BackerKit surveys have officially been sent out!
If you backed the campaign, please take a few minutes to complete your survey. This is where you'll:
✨ Choose your enamel pin(s) ✨ Add any extra pins, sticker sheets, or tote bags if you'd like ✨ Confirm your shipping address
At this stage, shipping will not be charged yet. I'm collecting shipping closer to fulfillment so I can charge the most accurate rates once the pins are manufactured and ready to ship.
📅 Survey Deadline

After that date, I'll begin finalizing quantities and preparing my order with the manufacturer so I can keep everything on schedule.
