Thank you all so much for making this campaign a complete success!
The final week of the campaign I was so sick, I wanted to do more in that home stretch and have the collar pins finished, but was only able to sketch out a concept for you all. But since we'll be waiting for the funds to release before they're ordered there was still time to work on them.
I've finished the design and I'm SO happy with how it has turned out. I am speaking to my manufacturer about metal options. Because I'm intending to have the butterfly wings be stained glass and doing some screen printing, I am unsure if the rainbow metal will work out.
I may go with an antique gold or just silver if the rainbow/blue doesn't work out. I'll keep you all in the loop and as always love to hear feedback from y'all! I'm really vibing with the gold tbh. I received a question on the last day about how to order the set.
I also REALLY bumbled the "In All Timelines" design that last week. I was running a fever of 101 and really wanted something to show you guys. BUT I've redrawn it a couple of times and feel like I've gotten it to a good spot! Like with the collar pins, I'm trying for the rainbow metal, stained glass and screen printing, but it might not work out. That one will definitively be silver if the rainbow/blue doesn't work.
Additionally, because of the detail on this pin, it will probably end up having to be larger than my initial estimate of 1.5 inches, it will be closer to the 2.5" like Pit Fighter Vi. Do not worry friends, all original backers of the campaign will be able to select it from the 1.5" tier since that was my bad. For Pre-Orders and when I sell them in the future, they will be the same price as Pit Fighter Vi. The same may happen with the Collar Pins. Updates to come after I've heard back from my manufacturer.
As I said, we have a few weeks before the funds are released and I can get the pins ordered. During that time I will be building the backer surveys and they will be sent out by the end of February. Everyone will have roughly 2-3 weeks to fill them out. March is a VERY busy month for me, I have 3 conventions! But I built that into our timeline, here is a review of it for you folks.
Thank you all again for your support, I will keep you all updated as I receive proofs, mock ups, samples of our pins and anything in between.
I apologize for the lack of updates. I received the cupcake filler pins in late in September. The shirts and tote bags finally arrived earlier this month. There are still a couple folks that didn't respond to what color tote they would like, they will receive the tan colored option if I do not receive choices from those few.
I have slowly been getting folks their items and I apologize for all of the delays. International shipping has been incredibly expensive due to new regulations put out by the current administration. Most of the remaining orders to be filled are international. The main reason I haven't been getting these orders filled, been bad about returning DMs(I was able to finally fix Instagram to allow requests) and simply trying to keep my self together for conventions that I have been previously committed to, is earlier this month my dad was been diagnosed with a fairly aggressive form of inoperable liver cancer and I'm trying to process that, along with preparing to help him and my step mom while he is going through treatment. You all have been so understanding with the shipment delays and please believe that each and every backer will receive the items they paid for in good faith! I've been scammed by a few conventions in the past, I know that sort of shit does happen and these days it seems like it happens more frequently. All I can give you is my word that I'm being truthful and am just a little slow to respond during this time. But I am working through the orders, slowly but surely. Thank you again, Christa D
There was a delay in the CaitVi Cupcake mini pin and the shirts, so folks that have those in their orders might not receive them for a couple more weeks and I am so sorry about that!
It has been brought to my attention by a backer that the 2.5" Pin Add on is not showing me the selection from the two options available. And a couple folks may have received the wrong pin.
I have sent individual emails to those that I have not yet filled to get their selections. Please let me know if you had wanted the Pit Fighter Vi or the Jayvik Chibi In All Timelines 2.5" pin.
If you did receive the wrong pin, please reach out and we can work out how to get your correct pin to you and the other back to me.
I have closed the pre-order shop and will be moving everything over to Etsy since we're about done here and that issue isn't something I can clean up on the back end without messing up everyone else's orders for that pin.
