¡Hola amigos!

I’ll be copy + pasting the top part of this update across multiple projects and feature specific campaign news below the top update~ Sorry if you see this pop up more than once if you backed multiple campaigns 🙏🏼

🐺 Myths of the Underworld: Over 50% done packing orders, shipping out soon!

🪲 Pinned & Preserved: Final stages of production, should be shipping to me in the next week or two~

☠️ Muerte & Magic: In the middle of production

🌿 Rebirth & Ruin: Already submitted art + final counts to start production! 

Summary: everything is in either in production already or wrapping up for shipping, all we have to do is wait for everything to arrive now!! 💌🎉 

My collab partner Allison and I placed both of our orders together, so it’s a fairly large order that is taking a bit of time to complete. Rest assured, everything has been coming together in the background ^_^

Just waiting for the pins to go through production! ^_^ No pics of the pins yet, but here's a few pics of the stickers~ I love the look of the matte holographic 💖🌈✨

Last year I signed up to participate in the Bag Baazar ita bag event, and it is launching this Tuesday, May 12th @3pm EST! You may have already seen these gaming ita bags in previous campaign add-on shops, if you want one this is your last chance to reserve a gaming ita bag!!

Hola amigos!

If you haven't seen it already, the surveys are finally out!! They took a little longer than expected to get approved because of some errors, but those issues have finally been resolved~

Last week a small percentage of Smoke Tests were sent out before the full batch of surveys to make sure everything was working okay. I did catch one major issue where the Returning Backer stickers were duplicating, but other than that everything looked good so I released all the surveys to everyone 💕

If you notice anything that looks wrong, please let me know ASAP through BackerKit support so I can fix the issue. As soon as I have final counts locked in, I’ll be submitting everything to my manufacturer right away for production so we are almost there!!! 🖤

For those who wanted to combine shipping with other campaigns (Myths of the Underworld and/or Pinned & Preserved), no worries I gotcha! Just fill out your survey as normal and I will manually go in and apply a shipping credit so I can combine your orders into one package (Less shipping costs = more pins 😉)

I just wanna thank you all again for your patience and support while everything gets finalized! We’re finally in the last stages of this journey and I'm so excited to see these Aztec pins come to life! 💕

More updates coming soon!

Hola mis amigos!!

I wanted to share an update on Muerte & Magic II and also take the time to say thank you *so so* much for your patience. I know this campaign has taken a little longer than expected, and I'm here to break down everything for you 🙏🏼

A big part of the delay came down to finalizing the designs for the feathered serpent God of the Wind Quetzalcóatl, and the Goddess of Love and Beauty: Xochiquetzal. I had the entire survey finished and ready to go, I just needed to finalize these 2 last pin designs before I could actually submit the surveys.

I struggled a lot with Xochiquetzal's design, and I went through 3 different versions of her before I was actually happy with how this final version looked. 😫 Here's a visual representation of what it feels like when you have Art Block and everything you draw just isn't coming out good at all 😆

Quetzalcóatl will have rainbow glitter and screen printing details at 3 inches, and Xochiquetzal will have screen printing details at 2.5".

Here's the new collection all together at the correct sizing! 🇲🇽💖

Now that the last 2 pin designs are finished, I've finally submitted the Surveys for their final review!! As long as there's no errors, this approval process is pretty quick :) After the Surveys are approved and the Smoke Tests come back with no issues, surveys will be released to everyone ASAP! 🥳🎉 Keep an eye out on your inboxes!

My Pin Manufacturer is currently on holiday, so this gives us time to gather the final counts and make sure everything is completely ready by the time they return to the office. My order will be one of the first projects they start with when they return, so I'm estimating production will only take about a month and a half after they come back (plus a few weeks for shipping). Once they arrive, I’ll move into grading and fulfillment right away. My convention schedule is also cleared out for this time period so I can put my focus 100% on grading and shipping 💌 

Thank you again for your patience waiting and for giving me the time to get these designs 100% perfect 💖 I’m excited and really proud of how they turned out, and I can’t wait to finally bring them to life!!

More updates coming soon! 

🖤Jess~
