TLDR: - Shipped all available orders, keep an eye on your shipping notifications! - If you didn't get a notification, check to make sure you filled out your survey or your card properly charged. I'm hitting the 'charge card' button again around Sep 9th. - If there's a problem with your order, email me at [email protected] !
Full update!
Hooray, we're in the final stretch! Hopefully by the time I'm posting this you've gotten your order or at the very least a shipping notification!
I'm sending out a last few packages today!
If you haven't received a shipping notification: About 5% of backers have had some issue that isn't allowing things to go through. It COULD mean that you haven't filled out your survey or your card declined -- please please PLEASE double check that your survey is filled out or that your card went through!! There are also orders that simply didn't have their card charged for whatever reason, and in this case I will try again around Sep 9th, so make sure you have funds ready. I'm going to lock orders, addresses, and try to charge cards again after getting home from San Japan, probably sometime around September 9th or 10th, and this will be your last chance to have everything ready to go. Anyone who has not filled out their survey or fixed their card issues after this time will have to contact me directly via email to get their rewards!
If you HAVE received a shipping notification but it hasn't updated in a while: I had a few issues with some orders that I only just shipped out now. Check back in the next few days and see if the post office has updated anything. If you don't see any updates after a week or so, send me an email. If you have any issues: For any missing/damaged products or mail delivery issues, I would prefer if you contacted me through email [email protected] (the same email connected to this campaign, can also be found on the campaign page!) Comments here on this post are OK but a little harder to get notified for. I'll see them eventually but I'm more likely to respond quicker to an email! Send me an email, let me know what your issue is, and which email you used for the campaign so I can look up your order. Always happy to be here to help with anything!
That's it for now, thanks everyone! I'm super excited for you to get your items!
Hello, everyone! A short but sweet update this time. This is exactly what I was hoping would happen: the pins have arrived and look good, so I'm going to be shipping out orders starting early next week! Hooray! I'm going to lock addresses here soon, you'll get a final notice to that effect, but make sure your addresses are up to date so your pins come to the right place. Thanks again for all your patience so far! I'm looking forward to getting all of you your rewards!
TLDR: All campaign pins are stuck in shipping limbo, so "shipping out" date for this campaign is being pushed back until at least August 2026.
Hello, everyone! I come bearing good news and bad news!
The good updates: - Postcards and stickers are all printed, delivered to me, and are ready to go! - The Astronomica pendants have been safely produced and delivered to me, ready to go! - All pins have been completed and have been shipped!
The bad news: - The shipped pins have been stuck in shipping for 18 days (as of writing this update) with no movement on their tracking numbers. This is already far longer than shipping has ever taken, for example we've both received AND sent out most of Crimson-Chains' pins in the time since my pins shipped.
So! What does this mean?
With no indication of when the pins will get here, I'm going to have to push back the expected shipping/delivery date to at least AUGUST 2026. I'll keep an eye on the packages' tracking information and hope that it updates in a reasonable time frame.
What I EXPECT to happen from here: - Shipping will update and give me a delivery date sometime in the next few weeks (Hopefully sooner than later) - I'll give you an official "everything is here and it's all awesome!" update once everything has been delivered to me, and give you a little forewarning that addresses will be locked soon - I will lock addresses just before I expect to start shipping everything out - Everything will be shipped and you get your packages!
Worst case scenario: - If pins don't show up at my house or update their shipping info in the next month, I will have an "End of August" Update to keep you all appraised of the situation, what my plans are, and what the new timeline may be looking like. Hopefully we won't have to go this far and I won't have to start making calls. Fingers crossed!
I'll keep you updated as necessary. With any luck, the next time you hear from me will be good news! And of course, you can always comment here if you have any questions or concerns~
It's time to make sure you've filled out your survey, because today is the notice day that orders will be locked! I intend to charge cards within a week after orders have been locked, no later than April 29th, so it's extra important to make sure all of your information is updated and ready to go.
Hey, everyone! Last day! I'm so thrilled to see how far the campaign has come in just this short amount of time. Thank you all for your support so far, I'm really looking forward to celebrating the end of this last day with everyone.
New Add-On Announcement:
In celebration, and in order to try to help fund these last few goals, I've created a new add-on for you to check out: the necklace "Tear"!
Tear is going to be a flat-backed necklace with attached chain, in the style of my Sunrise Necklace -- check it out on Etsy if you'd like to see something similar to how this will turn out! The pendant will be about 2 inches with a smaller pendant hanging from it. It will have white and black enamel, with recessed metal accents. It was made to match the rest of the pin set, so will be made in the same matte gold and enamel colors as the rest of the standard pin set.
If you'd like another accessory to add to your set, please check it out! :D This one's on me, so we don't even need to unlock it as a goal-- just add it as you want!
Final Campaign thoughts:
As we enter the final push, I want you all to know how grateful I am to have your support!
I have decided to self-fund at least one of the mini pins whether or not we reach the final stretch goal, as thanks for everything so far! I would still definitely like to cross that finish line and get all three free mini's funded, but I do recognize it may not happen. Either way, you guys will be getting a freebie with your campaign, and at least one will be available as an extra add-on if you'd like to get more than just one. Again, thanks so much!!
I don't super love getting notifications myself, so I may save a congratulatory update for later when the surveys are done and being sent out. Keep an eye out-- the surveys are SO important in letting me know exactly which pins/variations you want!! If you miss these you won't be getting your pins!
As always, if you have any questions you can let me know. My email is always available to find on the campaign page, and I do try to check out the comments here and on my community page. :D
One more time, thank you SO much for making my first solo campaign such a success! I'm so excited to start making all these cool items!!
