Things are still moving right along! As a reminder, the two grey cockatiels, bleeding heart dove, canada goose, and two mallards are being remade. I also decided to remake the male and female cardinal since the female's color wasn't right, and both of them had yellow beaks instead of orange.
So- Everyone else, getting through your orders day by day!
--------------------------------------
I also have two projects coming up
One is a summer sale and I'll be doing freebies and things, it'll be launching next month so I'll figure out the details more once I get a bigger chunk of this birdy project completed. All the projects that are part of the summer sale are all exclusively in-stock items, so it'll be a quick thing for backers to receive

The other thing is I'm joining the Doggust event! I'm mostly restocking sold out pins but will be adding a few new designs as well. Hoping to offer stickers of each ween as well but we'll see. I'm keeping an eye on the follower count to see how ambitious I should be getting, but the humble chill plan is 3 new pins, plus a freebie pin if you back 3 Doggust projects! So that's one free pin from each project you pledge to
Pins are being checked and put on cards now, hoping to get shipping done by mid June.
The cockatiels with grey bodies, the two mallards, the bleeding heart dove, and the canada goose are all being remade so if you ordered those your order will be at the back of the line while I wait for them to come in
I also have two projects coming up
One is a summer sale hosted by Backerkit. I'm not sure if we're doing a collab thing with freebies for backing multiple projects, but in any case, every order will come with extra stickers and things! All the projects that are part of the summer sale are all exclusively in-stock items, so it'll be a quick thing to complete and ship

They are here! Stickers are also here as well~ The pudgy bird stickers ended up being bigger than expected, I intended 1.1" and 2.2" but I think they're 1.5" and 3". Which is ok I guess, bigger stickers are not a bad thing~ I wanted the proportions to be right compared to the main birds but they're just gonna be big babies
First, a quick link to the summer pin sale event that I'm joining on Backerkit! It's a July group launch and all the pins will be discounted things that are ready to ship. The details are all being worked out but there will be project incentives and I'm sure within the event there will be benefits again for backing multiple projects~
Back to this project... It's going to take me a little bit to quality check them all... I'll try to get it done quickly but it may be 2 weeks to check/put them on cards. Then shipping will start~ bluebirds are also here just not in the photo ><
The bad news, I also need to ask my manu to remake a few designs. The bleeding heart dove's body is too dark, it should be a lightish blue grey... The grey cockatiels' bodies are too dark... The canada goose's neck is too light... and the mallards are just off. Green is too mountain dew green on the male, and the female is just a funky hotdog color without much distinction from the printed areas/body color. The mallards I'm worried about remaking since their colors were hard to pick to begin with, so I'm hoping there isn't an issue with the remakes as well. But these six definitely all need to be fixed! I'll get it right So if your order contained any of these it'll be more of a wait until shipment.
I'd rather everyone get the intended pins, but just to give the option... if you're ok with these weird pins feel free to message me at [email protected] and I can have your orders out as planned! I'll throw in a couple stickers for the trouble
I didn't wipe the dust and stuff off on these next photos so don't mind that... all the pins you receive will all be good quality!
They mallards look somewhat ok in these photos but I promise they aren't right lol. The print in real life is a lot lighter. The female has almost no distinction between colors. The orangey color on the wing tips of the male are also lighter and clash with the body. And the head is just way too light and mountain dewy. Also didn't photograph a closeup the bleeding heart doves (they're in the group photo above) but I definitely need to get those remade lighter as well.
The cool thing is the canada geese wing print for some reason looks like nail polish? It's a bit glittery and really pretty. The photos make it look intense but it's subtle and just looks nice in the light.
Everything else looks pretty spot-on to how I intended, so I'm quite relieved with that! I've never had to pick colors for so many pins before and it is very nerve wracking lol.
Orders are locking in two days~ I'll be charging cards once orders are locked, so this is the last chance to add any more things to your survey! You can edit your survey here https://tinybirds.backerkit.com/
FOR AU/NZ BACKERS OF *BOTH* PROJECTS: I've calculated the cost of the combined box I'll be sending to Doodle. The divided cost with shipping + customs tax will be $5USD
I've fixed it for everyone in the back end, so there's no need to update your surveys!
For the two people who backed only this project!: It's actually cheaper for me to ship directly rather than making a stop with Doodle and then onward to you. So there's no change and the shipping will remain at $20 USD
-----------------
Also quick mention about my pin club. Pin club is always late, doing my best to catch up, but forewarning there... If you'd like the following things you can sign up on my Patreon!:
Poe's Pin Club + AU/NZ shipping updates + last notice to update surveys!
First- Stickers are done and arriving tomorrow! Pins are still in production but still on schedule to be here and checked somewhere by the end of the month
Second- I'll be charging cards soon, so this is the last chance to add any more things to your survey! You can edit your survey here https://tinybirds.backerkit.com/
Third- For Australia/New Zealand backers- I've figured out the solution for the combined shipping, and it will all be taken care of on the back end so there's no need to resubmit surveys
I'll be sending a package of everyone's orders to Doodle, which I need to calculate the cost of. That cost will be divided amongst the backers on my project here. At the very most it'll be $5
Currently everyone is set to be charged $20, and one person is on the higher weight tier, so what I'll do is just lower everyone's amount before charging cards this week. I'll do another update once I mock up a package to estimate the weight/cost
On Doodle's survey, you'll pay regular domestic shipping

Also quick mention about my pin club. Pin club is always late, doing my best to catch up, but forewarning there... If you'd like the following things you can sign up on my Patreon!:
Stickers are in production, pins are almost ready to go into production just finalizing the artwork
If you want to add more pins to your order, please go to the start of your survey to change to a higher tier! http://tinybirds.backerkit.com/
Also if you want to add any more items on to your order, now's the time. You can use that same link to make changes
Sticker packs are also now available! Both sets are available in small and big size
Plus clown Poe and honeybee doxies are available in B grades for $7~
Combining shipping for those of you who pledged for this project and Brids of Australia is also going to be do-able! It seems the way to do is is that those who live in the US will not pay shipping while filling out surveys for Brids of Australia, and those of you in AU who filled out your surveys here on my end will be given a credit to remove shipping before I process payments. AU backers will have their shipping costs charged on the Brids of Australia side Simplified: For those who backer BOTH this project and my collab partner's- US backers will pay shipping costs through the survey here but not on Brids of Australia AU backers will pay shipping costs through Brids of Australia's survey but not here
I've contacted Backerkit to confirm, but I believe this is the easiest way and will be how it ends up looking on the backer side of things
