Great news- the remade pins are finally here! I meant to update you all a couple weeks ago that production on the new pins was almost done, but I didn't have any photos of the new pins and thought it would be a boring update. BUT now they're here, and I'm happy to share with you all photos of the NEW and IMPROVED Challah Centipede design:
The new pins are now mostly flat, with recessed eyes and a screen print over the whole top for the darker areas, whereas the old ones had wells with enamel fill. For some reason, there were issues with the color of the enamel filling, which made it look green in most lighting. This new version is warmer, and better matches the other bread designs (Sourdough Spider and Bread Beetle) and I love how they came out~
Here they are all together! They are much more cohesive as a set now, and I couldn't be happier! I hope you all like the updated design, and I can't wait for you to see them in person :) What's next? Now I can finish packing and shipping the rest of your orders! First of course I'll need to go through the new pins to count and quality check everything (again), but I plan on only looking through the Challah Centipede and Boston Cream Spider for now so I can finish packing your orders before I go through the whole lot. I also have a friend coming over this weekend to help check, sort, and pack your orders so I can get them out ASAP! Please keep an eye out for an email from BackerKit with your tracking number and shipping notification :)
I want to thank you all so much for your patience with these, so for everyone who waited for their order, I will be throwing an extra sticker or two in your packages! I'm so thankful for your kindness with this whole mess, and for all the sweet messages and comments you sent me when I first discovered these flaws! Seeing the miss-colored, scratched, and flawed pins pile up was really disheartening, and your kindness really helped me push through to finish this project, and encouraged me to continue planning more projects in the future. Once everything is packed and shipped, I'll begin working on a brand new campaign and I hope you all will join me on my next adventure (whenever that may be).
That's all for now, but if you have any questions or concerns please let me know! I'm available to chat through comments here or via DM on Instagram (ApothecaryOctopus), and of course if you want to share photos of your pins you are more than welcome to post them and tag me <3
