Project Update: Fulfillment is complete!
We're at 100% fulfillment now :) Very ahead schedule!
I'm giving a few stragglers with rejected cards another couple months before I close down the project for good.
I'm loving seeing your Samson and tapestry pics!!! Please keep on tagging me on blue sky etc so I can share them!
Not sure exactly what/when my next project will be, but I'll likely be trying to switch over to using a fulfillment center to take that part of the load off of myself, so I've got a bit of logistics to work up before I jump in.
Both my website - corviforms.com and my Etsy are stocked up with everything I've got for now!
See ya soon ✌️

Heads up that I do not have any more info than you do when a package leaves my doorstep, just the same tracking info that you have. Any owners of returned packages will be contacted to confirm address prior to re-shipping. I will work to ensure that any damaged or lost packages are replaced.
Please contact me directly if you have any issues with your order - [email protected]
Thanks!

Project Update: Shipping begins! Plus gryphon art!
Good news - shipping is starting!
Pins, stickers, keychains, and tapestries are here so I am starting with orders that just have those items. I'll have some orders out as early as Monday.
Plush should get to me some time next week, so shipping for everything else will begin shortly afterwards.
I also wanted to share the art I did for the thank you card that everyone will be getting with their order! I had considered commissioning someone to do gryphon art for me, but then felt inspired to try it myself, and I'm pretty pleased with the result!
Thanks again for supporting me,
Rachel

Project Update: Pins are almost here! Locking orders soon
Pins are shipping to me now, they should be here in the next 2 weeks. I wanted to give you all a chance to see manufacturer photos before I lock orders, so here are the photos I got!
I am also slightly moving up the timeline since I will have these in hand sooner than expected. The card charge date remains the same! I've just moved up the lock address & shipping dates so that I can get started on shipping next weekend. All orders that do not contain a plush will go out first, since that will be last to arrive.
24Jan2025 - Lock Orders
- You can change your order up to this date!
01Feb2025 - Charge Cards for add-ons & shipping + Lock addresses + Begin shipping!
- This is also the deadline for completing your survey, if you have not completed it by Feb you will be dropped from the project. I am reaching out individually to those who have failed payments.
Beginning of Feb - Begin Shipping - starting with orders that do not contain plush
Thanks!

Project Update: Everything is flying along!
Hope you are having a wonderful holiday season. Wanted to keep you all updated on the progress. Now is the boring part - waiting for everything to get to me! I'll post another update when I get pin and keychain manufacturing photos, but it may be quiet for a while as we wait.
Plush and tapestry production is complete, stickers pins and keychains are in progress. Plush and tapestries will ship to me via sea freight. This takes about a week to get on the boat, about 30 days travel, and about another week to get from the port to my house. So I should actually have them a bit earlier than mid-February if all goes smoothly.
Samson has passed all of his safety testing and have been labeled for ages 3+! Plush testing is a bit costly (was $600!) but is required for toys sold in the US and EU. This ensures that the product doesn't contain any harmful materials and that it won't fall apart when handled.
Reminder of timeline:
17Jan2025 - Lock Orders
- You can change your order up to this date! I will share pin/keychain photos as I get them in case that influences your decision
01Feb2025 - Charge Cards for add-ons & shipping
- This is also the deadline for completing your survey, if you have not completed it by Feb you will be dropped from the project.
15Feb2025 - Lock Addresses
Late Feb - Begin Shipping
Thanks, and Happy New Year!
Rachel & Samson
