A pretty small update on the progress so far. It has been a lot slower than anticipated and the factory seems to be somewhat bogged down by all the pin orders we submitted, so some projects were getting done before others and it caused some confusion. I do have some pics of of the pin process so far:
Obviously these are unfinished and are mostly to show colors/glitter effects and before the plating/screen printing, etc. It has been tough to get pics of the process, especially since some pins they seem to move forward with before others.
These are being produced at the same time as my collaboration partner JBlake Design and her pins. Her Muerte and Magic pins are looking gorgeous and are much further along in the queue than mine:
If you backed her project too, be sure to check out her update here: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/jblake-design/muerte-and-magic-2/updates/48355
I apologize for the long wait and am hoping to have more news and better photos soon.
Production is still in process. All the art files and colors should be accurate - its mostly figuring out the glitters/glow and assembly for the more complicated pins. These pins are also being produced in conjunction with JBlake Design and her Muerte & Magic designs so they made will be on a similar timeline.
So far, I have ordered/ received the accessories for the pins, backer cards, shipping supplies, and the returning backer stickers: If you have any questions, let me know - you can email me at [email protected].
Manufacturing is still in progress! After sending the art, it was manufacturing was delayed due to the holiday season/ Lunar New Year closures. I've also had to adjust / clean up some art (no design changes!) for smoother production.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to let me know!
Quick update to let everyone know production art is sent and underway. If you haven't filled out your survey or need to adjust anything, let me know! I won't lock addresses until closer to the actual ship date so any changes of address don't need to be a concern at the moment. You can email me at [email protected] if you have any issues or concerns.
In addition to this, my current Pintopia project Eternal Bloom: Dark Garden is still going until February 12th and you can check it out hereif you are interested in a pin collection featuring statues, poisonous plants, and pretty flowers!
Over 90% of you have completed the surveys so far! In order to get production rolling, I am planning on closing surveys in approximately one week (1/9).
Please choose your pledge options and confirm your shipping by then so you get your rewards! Be sure to check your emails or Backerkit profiles for the survey!
Thank you all so much for you support so far, and don't be afraid to email me if you have any issues!
Hope you all are having a great New Year! -Allison
