Doodle's items arrived, sending out the rest of the orders asap!
That's about it for the update, around 80 more packages to go out and then we're all caught up :) I'll be doing a part 2 with more birds for Pintopia next year, sign up page is below! Taking note of everyone's suggestions~ There's too many amazing and silly birds in this world and it's going to be tough to make decisions.
I'm sure I'll be doing a part 3 as well down the line... The next project will also include all of the birds from this one so don't worry if you missed out this time, I try my best not to let anything go out of stock! All the pins from this project will be going up on my website as soon as I have time to take photos and list them.
If you have any questions feel free to email me at [email protected]
---------------------------------
Also a little promo of this month's stuff for Poe's Pin Club! Mr. McFeely Poe (from Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood)!Here's the pin, there's a matching crayon art style sticker, and a letter from me and Poe. It'll be a bit before packages go out, but if you sign up this month you'll get this stuff :>
AND I've just joined another group thing launching this November-
And another project, I'm not sure when I'll launch this one, but just gauging interest early
And early next year for Pintopia I'm going to add more birds to the tiny bird series
Almost done shipping what's currently possible, I apologize for the wait this has taken me longer than anticipated. Those of you who have backed both this project and Doodle's, I'm just waiting for Doodle's package to arrive. We're kind of figuring things out with the stuff she's sending over, navigating new laws and tariffs. Once that stuff is here those packages will be out asap!
A few things to promo Poe's Pin Club is a firefly theme for this month
In two weeks I'm launching a project for Doggust to restock my weenie dog pins + add a few more :)
In *the future at some point maybe later this year idk* I am restocking Poe plushies!
And for Pintopia 2027 I have set my pre-launch page up early for Tiny Birds 2
I have a big big list of bird suggestions from early on in this project, but feel free to suggest more here :> I'm interested in getting a few extinct birds in the mix and I'll be looking at some more common birds around the world. I also want to add more parrots and other pet birds like finches. More doves and pigeons. And then some weird birds like woodcocks and emus. What I just wrote pretty much encompasses every bird possible so I haven't really made much progress towards whittling down my list. I'd also like to make sticker sheets of the birds and washi tapes. Maybe a series 1 sticker sheet and washi tape, and then some that are themed like birds of north america or something...
The remake pins are arriving next week! Very happy and relieved with the color fixes, and it looks like the canada geese once again have that kind of neat nail polishy glitter look on the wings :) No idea why the ink for that specific color does that but it looks really nice
So all the orders will be able to be fulfilled shortly :)
One is a summer sale and I'll be including random freebie stickers and magnets and charms and even pins in every order depending on value! 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

And a little promo for Poe's Pin Club (these are past rewards which are all purchasable in the Patreon exclusive shop). July's hasn't been decided yet but this is the kind of stuff each package contains :) There's also a letter-only option, which includes a 2" sticker of the pin design + a mini stamp sticker SIGN UP HERE
That's about it for now... Please email me at [email protected] if you have any questions :) Thank you -Ash
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

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.

What should I do if my shipment seems stuck? I’ve been tracking the package, and it hasn’t moved for over a week. Is it possible it was lost? Or is this normal and I just need to wait it out?
Also, sorry if this isn’t the place to ask this, I wasn’t sure where to go.
