Highlights

Hello! 👋

It's been a few weeks, so we wanted to return with some bird updates! We are still working on finalizing the process for making the birds! This has involved many hours of sweating over the laser cutter. We are extremely close though, so we wanted to show some photographs! Please note that these are still very much a work in progress. Different birds here are from different experimental techniques!

We've had incredible success with getting the colors to print accurately, and we were able to sand the wood to get a really nice, smooth finish (best seen in the hatching rainbow bird)! The main issues we are trying to sort out are scorch marks on the birds and how best to apply the protective coating. There is a possibility that it will be unavoidable for the white/lighter colored birds to have a tiny bit of discoloration on the edges due to the nature of the laser cutter (i.e. burning wood), but we have refined and perfected the process a LOT since we started!

We are also experimenting with the possibility of being able to make the stud earrings on our machine to our original size specifications!! They are still a little experimental but those are the tiny birds in the photograph. We will be replying to all emails about the earrings once we figure out this process more!

Thank you all so much for your patience. We hope seeing these progress photos is exciting for you! Hopefully our next update will be when production on all of the birds has officially started. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Hello friends! The keychains came in so I'm starting shipping. I'm still waiting for some sticker designs and the newer pin designs so those orders can't be shipped yet, but I'm starting with the ones that I have the stuff for.

Hey 

We will be charging cards and working on getting space cleared to be able to put the orders together. 
If you backed both this and Pride eyes you will only be charged once. If you backed both and have not reached out to me, please do so asap thank you. For the others that have already contacted us please don't worry.

Thank you for your patience

Hello all! 👋

We are here with a bird update! 🐤 The outsourced products for the campaign have arrived! Almost everything looks perfect. The mini stickers are so cool with their lineless effect, and we love the magnets! They have a super strong hold and the dishwasher one turned out especially fun.

The only issue is with the earrings. 😥 We got some confusing information from our manufacturer, and while the dangle earrings look perfect, the studs turned out larger than we hoped. They are 0.8" instead of the 0.6" we were hoping. We have included some images showing what their size looks like in comparison to the dangle earrings, which do have 0.6" pieces. If you ordered stud earrings and would be unhappy with this larger size, please comment here or email us at [email protected] and we can issue a refund for the studs! 

We also have an update about the manufacturing process as a whole! Unfortunately one member of our business has been very sick since the beginning of August with a variety of medical issues. This has really slowed down our production on the wooden pins. It has also been more time consuming than expected to configure the printing and laser cutting due to the quality wood we are using. We still hope to be done with the birds within the next couple of weeks, but we ask for your patience with any delays! If anything, we will try and ship out the orders that contain no pins first to make sure people can get their products as soon as possible! 📬 All of the medical issues have been very unexpected and have made this process much more difficult than we hoped.

We will keep you posted in the next few weeks about how the birds are progressing! Thank you all so much again for your support. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Hello my lovely backers, 🌈

I hope you are all doing well.

A little update for you: the production has started. 

If everything goes smoothly, they should arrive with me around the middle of November. Once they arrive, I will be able to weigh the final packages, charge the shipping costs, and then start sending everything out to you.

I will keep you updated throughout the process and will share another update as soon as I have any news.

Thank you so much for your patience and continued support.

Warm wishes,
Mariana
