Hello everyone!!

I’m excited to share that we’re making great progress on the pins! While I’ve been away, production has continued moving along smoothly and I just received news that they’re almost complete. They’re currently finishing a few final details on some of the pins but I couldn’t be happier with how everything is turning out. The progress photos look incredible and I’m so excited to finally share them with you all!

Please note that these photos are directly from the manufacturer, so I don’t have the pins in hand just yet. The current ETA is the end of this month for them to ship out to me where I’m hoping they’ll arrive sometime in June. I should have a much clearer timeline once I receive the shipping information.

First up, previews from the main lineup!

For the “Moon Blossom” pin, the manufacturer mentioned it was difficult to capture the pearlescent finish on the flower in photos, but they assured me it’s much more visible in person. It’s a bit easier to see on the “Night Bloom” pin, though they’re still finishing the screen-printed details on that one, so it’s a little less polished than the others at the moment. Even so, I really wanted to share it with you all anyway!

Next up, the mini pins! These have completely stolen my heart. It’s my first time making pins this small but I already know it won’t be the last. They’re just too cute! 

In my previous update, I mentioned that I got to experiment with some fun glow colors and they turned out even better than I hoped! I haven’t seen many glow in the dark effects that can achieve reds and oranges so well, so I was thrilled when that became an option. Most of my work tends to lean toward blues, purples, and greens, so with this collection I wanted to step a little outside my comfort zone and I’m really glad I did! 

 For the backs of the pins, I decided to go with laser engraving instead of a mold because we felt it would give the cleanest and best overall result. 

On another note, I’m a little behind on locking orders and reaching out to UK backers. I needed a couple of extra days to recover from jet lag, I honestly didn’t expect it to hit me quite so hard! Thankfully, I’m feeling much better now but I also wanted to give everyone a little extra time in case you needed to make any final changes.

Orders will now officially lock and final payments (including shipping) will be collected on SUNDAY, MAY 24TH!

For UK backers specifically: I’ll be reviewing your surveys this weekend and reaching out around the same time, so please keep an eye out for an email from me. There’s absolutely no rush, I just feel bad keeping you waiting this long, and I really appreciate everyone’s patience while I work through everything!

I should be receiving more photos soon, and once I do, I’ll have another update to share with you all! Until then, take care everyone!
