Another short update today: I'm still waiting on pin remakes! I've been in touch with my manufacturer and confirmed that pins are still in production—early September is the rough estimate for completion.
Apologies for keeping you waiting, but of course, I would much rather the coating issues be fixed and you receive good pins! My hope is remakes will arrive early September, and the remaining orders can be shipped out before October rolls around.
I will keep you updated on the timeline and let you know of any further delays or changes.
If you've received your pins, feel free to reach out and let me know! :D And as always, if you have questions or issues with your order, please let me know via email at [email protected].
hey everyone ! I finally have photos of all the bags and I've taken photos of all the different color bows and inserts with them ! See below ! Also, surveys will close on May 30th. That will be the last change to make any changes to your order before they're locked. The preorder shop will also close at this time
all four bags
the white bag will have the chain strap as well they just didn't send it to me
that pink and green has me feeling kind of wicked
All white casual ita bows + insert colors
here are some photos of the inside of the bag ! It's easier to see when it's not black I've also added wallet for scale. The casual bag is actually larger on the inside than the coffin due to the shape so it can hold more !
With bag photos out of the way they also sent me this pink version of the bat i didn't ask for but it's cute ! I have a poll attached to this update for you to pick if you want me to order any of them or not :) the skull btw is still being fixed but it's being worked on !
pink bat is same color as pink bag
I’m so excited to show you the brand new design after the Loch Ness Monster won last week’s poll - check it out below! This new design will unlock at £5,000, which we’re not far off! And then at £5,000 the rainbow variant will also be available~ I hope you all like them, and I've updated both the campaign page and available tiers to reflect this. This means that the original "All In" Tiers still cover the first 8 pins, rather than the full set of 10, just as a heads up!
What to do if you want to add the extra pins to your pledge:
If you're an Early Bird backer, and you want to add extra pins, EDIT YOUR PLEDGE, RATHER THAN CANCELLING IT, as this still works out cheapest!
If you're on any other Tier, just use the Add-Ons feature as normal to add as many extra pins you want that way. Just message me if you have any questions about this, or add a comment.
I’ve also added the holographic sticker design of Nessie as an Add-On too! I’ll update the image of it tomorrow, but it is available for £3, like the others!
I hope we can smash through the rest of the unlock goals asap as I love this design. With just over a week to go, we’ve got a great chance of absolutely crushing it - help spread the word if you can!
Hey everyone ! We've unlocked all previous goals woo ! I'm here with another new pin design and another new stretch goal, as well as some bag updates and photos ! Firstly lets start with the pin: Changeling who unlocks at $29,000. She will be a standard pin and available to add on for $18.
The next new item is bag charms ! These are jet tag like charms and my original hope was to make them replaceable in the bow slow however with how the final construction of the bag ended up working that didn't work out. So i'm repurposing them as bag charms and they're honestly so cute ! The bat is made of the same PU leather as the bag and the skull will be a thick fabric with embroidered details on it ! These will be add-on items for the campaign for now. They unlock at $27,800. They will be $8 add ons.
here is a photo of the bat sample that i already have in hand, the skull is still being made.
Next I've added a few new pledge levels. I've added a four standard pins pledge level to accommodate the newest designs and I've added two new bag + pins levels that are ita + four standard pins and ita + four standard and 1 supreme pin. These two new bag tiers allow for pay over time to make it easier on some people while adding more pins ! As a reminder for pay over time backers you will not be filling out your survey right away through backerkit but I will be sending you an email to get an idea of what items you'd like to pick ! You will then later fill out your backerkit survey once you've paid in full.
Lastly I have some bag sample updates ! I've got the chain strap ! You can now see how it looks with the chain strap which is my personal favorite but i love having the option ! The leather part of the chain strap is adjustable in length.
they've also removed the extra link at the bottom and I have a sample of the darker red bow color thats an option on the survey, it's super beautiful on the bag especially in person. I also have a sample of the cushion ita insert ! You can see how it looks in the bag with no pins and theres also a photo of it on its own. Its sooo cute and makes it even more coffin-like i'm very excited to put some pins on it !
Cushion ita insert and red bow. Showing how the insert looks when in the bag and outside.
As a note on this current sample the back pocket zipper was moved to the very back to test out the structure and feel of it but I still like both zippers in the middle so expect that on the final bag.
Going forward I'm working on at least one more pin design as well as some printed design ita inserts. Would you guys like to see any more bow colors? I was thinking a dark purple and a deep blue would look nice but leave your opinions down below !
As mentioned a few days ago, I’d love to design another pin as a new stretch goal and I thought asking my audience would be the coolest way to decide on which cryptid to go for!
I like anything a bit more obscure or weird, so the poll options include some pretty random options, but please cast your vote if you get a spare minute as I’d love to hear your opinion. 🤘
The poll will close on the 31st so it gives me enough time to get the design done before the campaign ends. Again, thank you so much for the support on this project so far, it’s been awesome!
I'm so excited and relieved to announce that the Mandarinfish and Oarfish pins arrived and I had enough higher grade pins to fulfill the last 50 orders yesterday!
Here's a look at the Oarfish:
And the Mandarinfish:
I'm so relieved that enough of these turned out reasonable enough for me to fulfill all your orders! Getting these two specific pins produced has been the most stressful pin production of my life!
Anyway, all the orders are on their way out to you all now!
(Unless you are one of the six people I'm still waiting on surveys or shipping payments from, so if you haven't received a tracking notification please check on your pledge!)
Thank you all for your patience in waiting for these pins to be finished. I really appreciate all of your support.
Two-Eyed Tales Magazine # 3, launching September 1st on Kickstarter, is a 52-page magazine-format comic featuring a framing sequence and four other stories based on the fiction of HG Wells, but amped up to become black & white horror stories in the vein of 1960s and 1970s horror magazines like CREEPY and EERIE.
The framing sequence, called "Wells of Terror," is loosely based on HG Wells' story "The Inexperienced Ghost," but much has been changed about the story. For one thing, our protagonist is HG Wells himself, who wasn't in the original story. For another, our ghost, now a woman, tells of a bizarre afterlife full of strange wells connected to humanity's collective unconscious. Check out the first three pages below with art by Greg Woronchak and edits by Stefani Manard. Follow the page here to get a notification when we launch and to see more preview pages.

This means the only campaign pin missing is Death, and for add-on pins we're only waiting on Oni, and inkcap reorders, so long as we have all the pins needed after tge grading process :) With most of our pins in that allows me to start shipping out pin only orders once the pins I've just received are graded. Yay ! Those of you who qualify with pin only orders and don't have any of the pins i'm missing will have your orders shipped out first.
I will begin charging cards for add-ons and shipping on August 14th ! If your payment does not go through you will have time to fix it. Addresses will be locked only for the pin only orders once i've graded a sufficient amount. Another update will go up before that but please check your address now and edit it if you need to. Watch out for the address lock notice but in the second update and through your email from the survey itself.
Bag Updates
I've spoken with my manufacturer recently about the production of the bags. Production has been well underway for awhile now and she says that everything should be done around late August. Hoping she's honest about this ! I've asked her if she's able if she can ship anything early it would be helpful so if I manage to get bag items early I'll write up another update about it ! Thanks for all your patience ! I can't wait to get everything to you guys !
Hello! A short and sweet update today: I've dropped off the first ~140 packages at the post office today, and tracking for those folks just went out 🎉
If your address is locked/card charged and you did not receive a tracking notice: don't fret—your package will be in the second wave of shipments.
Remakes
I received a shipping notice for Ms. Foxglove! She is currently on the way to me, and when she arrives, I can check the batch looks good, and get her on backing cards. Then I can start shipping her out as well. :D
Please note, these manufacturer photos are the same pin, just different lighting. I'm so excited for her to arrive—she looks so pretty 🥹

The rest of the remakes are ongoing. My manufacturer has assured me they're in-progress but with no ETA at the moment. Frankly, I'm in no hurry, as long as the issues are fixed. I'll keep you updated as I hear more.
Errored Cards
Some folks still have errored cards from the first batch of shipments—please update your CC info as soon as you can, so I can ship your rewards ASAP.
