Hi everyone,

I've got a bunch of photos to share with you today!

First up, a box full of embroidered patches arrived yesterday so here's a better look at the finished Octopus patch!

I'm really happy with how these have turned out, and I think it scales nicely with the Lobster.

Next, my pin manufacturer sent me some photos of the finished pins! Here's a look at the Turtle, Sunfish and Baby Turtle pins:

The baby turtles expression as a finished pin looks pretty funny. 😂

Aaaand there's been a small snag with the Manta Ray. I got the photos of those pins and realised a mistake has been made:

As you can see the cut-out from the mouth has been made as filled white enamel instead.
This one is on me tbh. I double-checked the proofs they sent me before production and I missed that there was no little red x in the mouth to indicate a cut-out. 🤦‍♀️

I've asked them for a quote on how much it will be to remake them and hopefully it won't take much extra time to do so. I'll have to sell these ones as B grades. Oops! 😅

I'll keep you up to date on their progress.
To end on a positive note, here are photos of the tiny Eye filler pins too:

I'm looking forward to getting these pins in-hand irl! :D
I hope you're excited to get them too!

All the best,

Abi
