Project Update: Nocturnal Nouveau surveys and pre-orders closing, production news, and upcoming projects!
Hello friends,
Dropping in with a quick update! Thank you SO MUCH to everyone for filling out your surveys so quickly! I'm going to be locking orders tonight and you'll receive an email with a final 48-hour opportunity to confirm or change your order. After that, I'll be sending the final quantities to my manufacturer!
This is also the last chance to pre-order pins if you missed the live campaign! Click here to order before Wednesday, September 20th!
Production-wise, all of the stickers have been ordered and will be arriving to me in about 10 days, but the pins will take a little longer. I have a lot of trust in my manufacturer but because of the intricacy of these designs I've ordered samples to make sure everything looks good. The samples are going to arrive in early October, at which point I'll make any necessary tweaks to perfect them and then the final round of production will begin. The manufacturer anticipates that final production will take around 4-5 weeks, so the pins should arrive to me in early to mid-November. Once they arrive I'll spend a few days grading Every. Single. Pin.* to make sure backers are getting only top quality pieces, and then I'll start shipping them out to you! Waiting is always the hardest part, but assuming there are no major issues with the manufacturing process, your order should be in your hands before the winter holidays.
In the meantime, I'll be hard at work on some upcoming projects, including Folkgore, a collaboration with my friend Kim Kuzuri, launching here on Backerkit on October 3rd! Below is a sneak peek at a couple of the pieces I designed, inspired by birds from spooky folktales of yore. Sign up here to get notified when it launches—you'll get limited-time pricing discounts and a free sticker for backing early!

That's all for now—thank you again for all of your support, and I hope you're enjoying these updates on the project! I'm looking forward to sharing some photos of the pin samples when they arrive!
