If you’ve been loving this new pin series, please share it with your friends, family, anyone who loves nature, mythology or dark/macabre art!! 🙏🏼🌿🥀
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!
New Stretch goals
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.
Sorry for the recent silence, but on a happy note - the pins are here!

These were sent over along with the previous Pintober pins and are with my project collaborator JBlake Design, but I will be picking them up this weekend! Once they are reviewed and given their backer cards, I can start sending out the orders!
I will also be charging shiiping soon and locking addresses so make sure to double check all your information is up to date!
You can let me know if you have any questions and concerns via my email at [email protected]
💌 Just a quick update to inform you that pins are in transit to my studio, and so your addresses will be locked in a few days to create shipping labels.
If you have to update your address, this is the time ✨
I am officially closing out this project so I can start moving on to the next adventure! I sent out emails one last time to everyone who is still in limbo with their surveys before I put the remaining pins up for sale to the public.
Right now I'm working on getting the product photos finished and my site ready for the public launch on August 19th! I'll also be running a sale on a lot of my older items to make room for new things, so definitely check that out if there's something you've been eyeing :) [Shop Link]
Even though this project is now closed, you are always welcome to reach out to me about your order at [email protected]. I'm happy to help with any lingering questions or concerns, but it's time for me to start moving on!
Speaking of... What's next?
During the last update, I had you all vote on the theme for my next campaign, and it looks like the winner is... ✨ ENCHANTED FOREST! ✨
Cabinet of Curiosities was a pretty close second, but this vote gave me a great idea of where everyone's interests are, and I'm SO excited about the direction this is taking me!
The Enchanted Forest theme feels like the perfect opportunity for me to really dive into the story I've had living in my brain for ages. A whimsical, haunted woods full of strange creatures and mischievous spirits. I'm especially excited to start developing the lore behind these creatures and building out this little world!
If you'd like to follow along, you can currently find me on Instagram (I'm also looking into adding some other social media platforms, but for now, that's where I'm most active)
And as always, I LOVE hearing your ideas, so please leave a comment on this post if there's anything you'd wanna see in the next campaign! Creature ideas, pin ideas, plushies, weird forest lore... I'm all ears. 👀
Thank you all so much for another amazing campaign. I learned SO much and I can't wait to get started on the next adventure, hope to see you there!
First, apologies for the longer-than-planned gap between updates, and thank you for your patience while we’ve been getting everything moving behind the scenes.
We’re getting ready to lock orders soon, so please take a moment to double-check your order and make any final changes before that happens.
We also have some production news! Pin manufacturing officially began during the first week of August, and those are now underway.
Not much of an update on Plushie production, unfortunately. Rather than hold everything until the plushies are ready, we can move forward with fulfillment for pin- and sticker-only orders separately.
We’ll keep you updated as production progresses and share more information on plushie timing as soon as we have it.
Thanks again for your patience and for joining us for Marsh Core: Lake Life! 💚
