Address Lock this Friday!
Hey all! I am going to initiate address lock this Friday so if you've had an address change between when you did your survey and now you have a chance to fix that. You will g...
Hey all! We've had a fantastic go at that first Super Stretch Goal and we're already within sight of unlocking the second set! 🥳
Amunet and I are working hard on the designs and can't wait to show you as soon as they are ready. We'll be putting them into physical sampling production ASAP so we can try to get the samples made before the campaign ends, though it will be a bit close.
Please tell a few friends about the project today! Share it on socials! Tell people you've pledged! We're so close!
In the meantime, we've made this chart for you to help you figure out which Tier you should pledge to get the amount of pins that you want.
If you want 1 to 4 pins from either set, use the 1 Pin Tier then add on additional pins as necessary up to 4. Continuing to add on individual pins will allow you to mix and match from sets, but do consider the price difference between this option and selecting a complete set.
The 1 Set Tier will get you all six pins in a single set. You can then add on additional pins through the add on to supplement the set. NOTE: Sets are FIXED. When the survey comes out for Set Tiers you will only be able to choose from Set 1 (Inners) or Set 2 (Outers). You will not have the option to choose individual pins unless you have chosen an add on to supplement the set.
If you wish to get one of each set, use the 2 Set Tier. You can also use this Tier to get two of the same set if you want to.
The 4 Set Tier will let you get any combination of the two sets up to four sets in total.
Individual stickers come with their individual pins and all Set Tiers come with a complete corresponding set of stickers. You can add on additional sets of stickers if you want more than what comes with the tier. There is no option to add on individual stickers.
You are not charged for your pledge until the campaign ends on October 28th at 11:59PM Pacific (8:59PM Eastern). Update your pledge now for the full amount of pins that you want to help us meet this goal! 🥰
I realize that the limited system for pledging can make this complicated so if you have a specific order you're trying to make and would like advice on how best to do it, don't hesitate to reply to this post and ask or message me on socials. I am happy to help! ♥
Hey Backers! This pin project is complete but I wanted to let you know we have three new collab designs coming to the public AdorkaBows shop on Monday, October 30th at 12 Noon Eastern: Glaive, Sailor Yell, and Carillon.
These three new Limited Edition designs are a continuation of the pin set funded through this project. Thanks so much for your support!
This goal will give us these beautiful foil display cards featuring more lovely line work by AmunetGFX as well as boxes for people who pledge for the complete set.
Goal: $8,000 reached! — We did it! This project reached this goal!
These silver satin finish stickers are printed on durable, high opacity adhesive vinyl. They are about the same size as the pins and can be used both indoors and outdoors because they are water resistant and UV-coated for durability. ✨💪🏻😤
Goal: $6,000 reached! — We did it! This project reached this goal!
The community voted on the design! Because this pin is a stand alone addition to the project and not part of a set you will have to modify your pledge with an additional $28 in funds to add this pin to your order.
Goal: $14,000 reached! — We did it! This project reached this goal!
This beautiful pin rounds out the set at 6 pins so if you've pledged for a full set, you automatically get this one! Crystal is also available as an individual pin reward.
Goal: $5,500 reached! — We did it! This project reached this goal!
Thank you all for your patience! 5 days is WAY faster than I thought it was possible to ship ~165 packages but here we are and I'm bringing the last batch to the post office right now!
If you did not get a tracking email from me now is the time to reach out!
When your package arrives please check it promptly for any errors so I can correct them. Please don't reply here for mistakes!! Contact me directly though socials or email SarahRuthForde at gmail.com because I don't get notified of replies here and I don't want to miss it.
And tag tag tag me and Amunet in your haul posts!!! Eeeeee we can't wait to have all the pins get to everyone!!! YAY!
Great news! I've been making packages all day every day since Saturday and today I reached halfway!! 🥳 83 packages are out or on their way including everyone with 4 sets, 2 sets, or a single set.
I'm now working on pledges for a single pin (with and without add ons). I should be able to move through these smaller packages a lot faster so I'm hoping to increase my speed from my ~20 packages per day to 30-40/day. Ideally I would like to finish shipping by Friday.
You should get an email when your package is on the way! I will make another update when I am totally done shipping and if you don't have an email by that update, please reach out to me so I can check on your status.
A lot of these orders are being shipped in reused packaging!! I use tons and tons of reused bubble mailers and boxes. My friends even save them for me for big projects like this so please don't be surprised when you see a tapped up Amazon bubbler arrive. I like to do my part to reuse as much packaging as possible rather than adding more to the stream. 🥰
Some people have already started getting their orders!! SO FAST! 😱✨ Please post pics of your pin haul and tag me and AmunetGFX on socials!!
If there is ANYTHING wrong with your package (damaged in transit, missing pins, wrong stickers, etc) please contact me via email (SarahRuthForde at gmail.com) or via social media ASAP so I can help. I feel it's very likely I'll have made a mistake or two or six in the 165 packages but I am confident I can fix it as soon as it's brought to my attention!! 🌟
If you or anyone you know missed this project and still wants these pins, I plan to have the extras with me at Anime Boston in April. I am in the Artist Alley, Table 182. I should also have the extra pins available through my FB Group after AB. ♥
That took 4 days and I didn't to much else so for the rest of today I'm working on some other tasks that I've been neglecting. Wednesday and Friday this week I have some personal obligations to attend. I will start shipping in earnest this weekend beginning with the larger orders and making my way to smaller ones.
It will take me 10-15 days to get everything shipped!
I am packing by myself, one order at a time, slowly and carefully so I can try to avoid errors. I should be able to average 10-20 packages per day once I get going. If at any point you need to know the status of your order feel free to reach out. I will update you all when I'm about halfway done and again when I have completed shipping.
Hey all! I'm aggressively putting pins on cards! I've been at it for hours. I have help!
There's a slight misalignment with the cards for Set 1. The sample was correct but the full run printed cards has our names slightly too high making it so the Moon Wand pin doesn't quite fit over the branding as it should.
The card on the left is the sample, and the card on the right shows the full print run.
Our solution for this is a slight change in the display with the Moon Wand angled. We considered having the cards remade but the delay in shipment would be too significant as our manufacturer is in Ukraine and shipping is incredibly delayed due to the ongoing conflict there.
New Set 1 Card
In addition, for some unknown reason, the boxes for Set 1 open from the top while the boxes for Set 2 slide out the bottom. 🤷♀️ Honestly at this point we're just going to roll with it for reasons formerly mentioned.

We hope you'll adore the pins! Stay tuned for more updates about shipping soon! 😍 ✨
Hey all! I am going to initiate address lock this Friday so if you've had an address change between when you did your survey and now you have a chance to fix that. You will get an email about this Friday but if you want to check now you can access your survey through BackerKit and make any necessary changes. (You should see a link to manage your pledge at the top of the project page!)
We are not responsible for packages that are shipped to incorrect addresses if that is the address you gave us; if your rewards are returned to us from the address on file then you will be responsible for paying the additional shipping to have it resent.
Please make sure your shipping address is correct! ♥
Look how pretty the Moon Wand pin looks on her card. :3
