Thank you for your support during Pintopia 2026. Seeing so many of you return and welcoming new Apotheca Maesters into the Order has been truly amazing. This world grows because of you.
🗳️ The poll ended, and the results are in! For the next Apotheca adventure, we’ll be traveling to the Swamp biome, uncovering new ingredients, and exploring an entirely new environment.
Poll Results
💌 Communications Over the coming weeks, you will receive additional updates on the surveys and production updates as they happen.
We are currently processing camping charges, so make sure your card information is set up correctly to avoid a decline and missing out.
Thank you for believing in Apotheca. What started as a small spark has evolved into something truly magical, with exploration, new worlds, and creative ideas.
As we approach the end of Pintopia, I want to pause and thank you. Every step of this journey has been filled with curiosity, creativity, and the desire to take the world of Apotheca even further.
Two things are unfolding now. First, I’d love for you to help me decide where the Order of Apotheca will go next. I’ve opened a poll so you can choose the path that calls to you most.
Second, I’m sharing a short story that explores how Arum came to join us in this world. Storytelling and imagination are at the heart of Apotheca, and this piece is a glimpse into what’s hopefully to come.
You can read the short story by clicking in the image link below 👇
I’d also like to share a catalog-style view of the campaigns I’ve been grouped with during this Pintopia. Our collective, Bloom & Burrow, is diverse and magical, and each project brings its own charm. Take a moment to explore them all.
It has been a great first week! With your support and engagement, we’ve reached our pledge goal and unlocked all pin designs. Thank you, truly.
Being able to bring ideas to life is something every creator treasures, and I’m very grateful to be able to share this world with all of you.
✦ New Add-On: The Travel Tool Box ✦ I’ve added one of my most complex creations so far, and a beloved design from a past Apotheca campaign, to the add-ons list: the Travel Tool Box. This interactive hinged pin is available in a very limited quantity, so for those of you who love detailed, tactile designs, this one’s for you. ✦ A First Look at the World ✦
As the world of the Order of Apotheca continues to grow, my imagination has been bursting with ideas that feel as though they were always meant to exist.
For the past few years, I’ve been building this world, studying ecosystems, climates, and cartography for inspiration to create a landscape that feels grounded and alive. A place where companions roam, specimens thrive, and discoveries unfold naturally.
Below is the first rough draft of the world map. This land is made up of many ecosystems, rich with flora and fauna, all woven into the greater story of the Order. I’m currently in the process of developing these regions further and look forward to sharing more with you.
✦ The Compaso Sigil Tool ✦
Crafting tools and lore is one of the things I enjoy most about this project, and bringing you along on that journey is something I truly want to do.
The Compaso Sigil Tool is designed to work in unison with the Codex, helping Apotheca Maesters interpret an ingredient’s alchemical nature. It is a guiding instrument that plays an important role in the creation of refined Apocemas, high-value Archemas, and other apothecarian creations. Through its spinning motion, the sigil reveals the hidden nature of the ingredients we encounter in our travels.
There is much more to this tool than meets the eye.
In the next update, I’ll be sharing more about the world of the Order of Apotheca and my journey in creating this multilevel universe. Those who enjoy world-building and lore will find even more waiting to be uncovered.
With gratitude and appreciation —Jen, Elm Tree Studio
Greetings my Apotheca Maesters, I hope this letter finds you all well
We are incredibly overjoyed to share that Apotheca is officially funded! 🌿✨
Thank you so much for believing in this world, these designs, and the journey we’re building together. Your support truly means everything.
To celebrate reaching our funding goal, we’ve unlocked a new stretch goal:
✒️ The Writing Tools Pins Set Inspired by the essential tools of every Apotheca Maester
🍃 Available to choose from the pin selection list or add as extra pins in Apprentice, Novice, and Artisan tiers.
🍃Automatically included in the Grand Maester (All-In) Tier, along with the full collection, now 16 pins total!
Past and Present Pintopia 2026 Apotheca Pins placed in the Art Print Backings
If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your pledge or adding extra pins to complete your set, this is a great time to do so!
A few quick reminders:
You can adjust your pledge and pin selections anytime while the campaign is live.
The Grand Maester tier remains the best value for collectors who want everything.
You can also add pins from the previous Apotheca release & other artifacts in the Add-Ons tab.
We have the Pay-Over-Time option that Backerkit offers which allows backers to split pledges of $150 or more (before shipping and tax) into four interest-free, automated monthly installments, no additional charges. These installments will begin as soon as the campaign ends.
Every pledge helps us continue expanding the Apotheca world with care and detail
Thank you again for being part of this journey. We can’t wait to bring these pieces to life and place them in your hands.
