Project Update: Fully funded! 4h early bird left & Next stretch goals?
Fully funded!
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
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
I’m blown away by the amount of funding we already have. So I wanted to explore if you would like more pins, and if so.. what?

Project Update: Nearing the End!
✦Hello again lovely friends! ✦
If you havent received your Wispwood pins yet, PLEASE CHECK YOUR CARDS/SURVEYS. We still have several people who have not filled out surveys and several whose cards did not go through! You have been sent many reminders, and if this is not fixed in the next 2 weeks, you will not receive your pins.
If you're one of the few that did your survey and your card was charged and you haven't received your pins, don't fret! There's just a few stragglers to ship out next week from those who have either filled out their surveys late or a few international orders where my shipping service is having troubles buying a label for your location, but I've worked out an alternative and the rest of these orders will be going out next week!
If you didn't back for one of the pins but would love to add more of the wispwood pins to your collection? The will be up in my online store later this year! I'll post an update on my social media when the shop gets updated so keep an eye out on my instagram or bluesky if you're wanting to pick up another pin or few later.
✦ The Shipping & Quality Checking ✦
Wispwood was my 2nd fundraising project ever, and with my first project just being for standard sized 8 pins... the workload difference, figuring out the process of all of the little ins and outs of something of this scale has been such an adventure.
Needless to say, this was by far the biggest project I have ever taken on and I just wanted to say a huge thank you for your love of my work and your immense patience as I sort through all the ups and downs and winding ways of pin making! I've 1000% learned a lot from it, both in the ways that worked well, and in ways that I could have done better, so I'm excited to take that knowledge forward to future projects.
If we count each mini pin individually, Wispwood funded 39 different pins. And the amount of each I had to order averaged about 200 pins each to have stock for each one of you, and to have some left over that will be at conventions and in my online store? Was almost 8000 enamel pins total! Thats HUGE. I didn't have a dining room for weeks!
With the mass amount of pins I even recruited some friends and family a few times to sit down and help me quality check a little faster. Finding out that the motions of putting pins on backing cards was flaring up my carpel tunnel and slowing me down definitely tossed some complexities in the process, so future projects I'll be planning more on hiring some friends and family to help me with the process so I don't get so worn down as easily from it.
✦ Next Steps ✦
I've already gotten a few questions if there will be more pins made in this theme, and I honestly and truly cannot overstate how much I appreciate your love for this magical little world of mine, but also, yes! I have many more plans for adventures in Wispwood! I have sorted out some of the logistics side of it in my process that something of this scale should be much easier for me to work through, and I'm working away on some more exciting things set in the world of Wispwood, so keep an eye out for more info on that soon! <3
✦ Thank You! ✦
I hope that the rest of your year is lovely and filled with joy, wonder, and adventures of your own. <3

Project Update: More Pin Pics - Shipping Starting Soon
Just a quick update to share more pin pics and let you know shipping will be starting soon. I have already sent emails to finalize addresses, but please be sure to make sure your address is correct and updated if you have not already done so:
However, the Pitcher Plant pin came in with a silver jump ring instead of the black nickel chains, so I will be putting the chains on by hand as orders are fulfilled:
These are being fulfilled in succession with my other pin campaign, so I will keep you updated when the first packages go out and tracking numbers are assigned.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email me @ [email protected]
Thanks!
Allison
