First off, thank you ALL for your tremendous support! I've wanted to make a huge series of local birds for a LONG time and you are actively helping me make that a reality!
So, what's next?
Right now, all the pledges are processing. If your card was declined for whatever reason, you will get an email from Backerkit to fix it. Please do this as soon as you can! After 1 month without a successfully charged card I will need to drop your pledge.
In about two to three weeks, early May, you will get an email from BackerKit with a link to the post campaign pledge manager/survey. With it you will tell me which pins you want, your shipping address, and you will pay for shipping. Shipping estimates, as well as general timeline, are on the main page.
During the survey you will also have the opportunity to purchase additional add-on items! I am working to put together sticker sheets including each design before I launch the surveys.
Earlybirds
Here is something specific to earlybirds on my project (and those who might want to add pins later on) I was not happy with my initial "earlybird" design and have made a new version which I am MUCH happier with.
glow up?
are we all cool with the new version instead of the old? Please let me know in the comments.
My To-Do list
A lot of work is ahead for me. I still have FIVE bird designs that I need to complete and may be adding a SIXTH because I can't believe I forgot the RED BELLIED WOODPECKER. I will be sending all designs to my manufacturer as soon as I am able.
Design 6 additional pins
Send mockups to manufacturer
Design Backing Card
Design Thank You Card
Compile Sticker Sheets
Set up Pledge Manager and Preorder Shop
Decide if I should add a "one of everything" pledge (over 30 pins) that folks can switch to
Whew! I appreciate your patience in the upcoming months, and I will update you as much as I can without being horribly irritating about it ^v^
Feel free to leave any unanswered questions here and I will try to get to everything ASAP!
CHIRP CHIRP - Corvi
PS. I added an extra Sparrow - we now have song sparrow and white throated sparrow, both with lovely little bleeding hearts!
PSS. If you were not able to be a backer and are a follower of the project, I will have the Preorder Shop set up next month when the surveys go out :)
