Thank you to everyone who voted in the polls for our Backers' Choice enamel pin! And the winner, with 36% of the vote is...

Swablu! Feel free to add another pin to your pledge if you want to secure this Cloud Pocket Bird!

NOW, THEN. I'm gonna be honest~ I received a lot of DMs and comments about the other Pocket Birds, begging me to add them anyway because (1) it doesn't seem right not to include Zapdos, (2) 36% isn't an overwhelming majority, especially with only 10% of the backers voting in time, and (3) Chatot & Natu and Zapdos each got a 30% vote too.

Well sheesh, you got me. It's my first time doing an enamel pin campaign, so the timing of and the options for this poll may have put some designs at a disadvantage. (Like the fact that I got literally so many requests for Winggull but it only pulled in a few votes OR that many of you couldn't find the poll!) I talked to my partner and we came to the conclusion that if this is my passion project, then it should be as fun for you too, right? How often do you get a chance to request a design that will be made into a pin??

With that said, the remaining designs are our newest stretch goals in order of popularity! These last four designs were made specifically because of your requests, so here you go, my friends~

AND YES. I drew in Zapdos so we can complete the collection. ✨

If we can get all three of the Legendary Pocket Birds together, I'll make an extra sticker sheet with them! Since our last update, we were able to unlock the Bird Food Magnet Set so I have faith we can hit the rest of our goals in the next 20 hours!! Good luck to us all and may the bird gods be in our favor ⚡️⚡️⚡️

IT'S OFFICIAL. All Pocket Bird designs have been UNLOCKED! 🥳🎉

To celebrate such an incredible milestone, anyone who is backing this project will receive a free sticker + illustrated thank you card in the mail! 

We've got 2 hours left before the campaign officially ends so if you haven't backed already, consider this!

Now let's just take a moment to appreciate all the beautiful birds we have freed together! AHH I love them!! Thank you again and again 🦉🌿

YESSSSSS I can't believe we hit EVERY. SINGLE. STRETCH GOAL!! 😭💙🧡💛

We've got 48 hours to go, so let's end this campaign with a bang! As promised, here are the final Mystery design reveals for our Backers' Choice pin! 🎉

After this update, you will find a poll in which you can vote for your favorite design -- backers only! If you don't like either of them and would rather I make a new design, please vote for the last option, "Other," then comment which Pocket Bird you want + we'll see who else agrees!
 
The most popular vote will get manufactured as the final Mystery pin add-on. This poll will end tomorrow, 4/17 at 10AM PDT so pls vote swiftly~ Good luck, my friends 🥳🎉

〰 BUT WAIT! THERE'S ONE MORE? IN MAGNETS? 〰

How can we adopt all these Pocket Birds without some bird food? We need plants, veggies, and nuts, oh my! A terrible fate for these young Pocket Plants but our Pocket Birds would gladly disagree.

If we can get to $7.7k by the end of our campaign, we'll be able to make this Bird Food Magnet Set! If unlocked, you can add it onto your pledge for the lowest price it will ever be. Let's see if we can do it! 🌿

Happy Monday, my friends!

In just 3 days, our Pocket Birds enamel pin campaign will be over! 🥳✨

Because this is a passion project for me, I have no plans to restock or order large quantities of these pins, and all extras will only be available in random mystery bags post-campaign. So if you've had your eye on a Pocket Bird design for a while, you should prob get it now! I've already started working on the packaging and it is looking so good!! *chef's kiss*

But that's for later! Here's the moment you've all been waiting for~

THE DESIGN REVEALS 🎉

Since I technically had a delayed start to this campaign, I've adjusted our numbers and listened to which birds you adore most! It took time to get on the same page with my manufacturer, but I did it! I was able to trim our stretch goals and add extra designs to make this a good campaign for all of us. I hope I did all our fave Pocket Birds justice 🎉

If we hit $6.7k, we'll be able to unlock a cloud bird, a seagull, a song + parrot bird, or something else! I will be posting a poll and a final design reveal if or when we hit those numbers~

And last, we have our final Legendary Pocket Bird! She will have white and blue glitter on her chest and crown, respectively. This design feels so classy so I know it'll look even better irl!

I can't believe we unlocked so many of them as I was updating my page! You are all ON IT! 🎉 This means we are so close to unlocking our Legendary Icebird and our Backers' Choice pin. Let's go!!

Thank you all so much for being so supportive throughout this entire campaign! I'm blown away and I appreciate each and every one of you!! 🦉🧡💛💙

WOW just wow. We hit our original funding goal in just one hour and then unlocked the rest of the Pocket Bird collection in the same day!! Now we're over 1000% funded and I literally did not expect any of this for my first crowdfunded pin collection.

I have been traveling for work so I didn't get to post an update sooner but thank you so, so much for your support!! Shoutouts to BackerKit for inviting me be part of such an awesome event (Pintopia) and to my partners at Quirkory for helping me navigate through this new platform. I feel really honored that you all enjoy my take on these Pocket Birds and I'm so excited to make the finishing touches with packaging and manufacturing!

I'm just finishing up some work outside my city/studio, but I'll be back next week with some juicy design reveals! We unlocked everything much faster than I expected so I added in a few more stretch goals to make things more interesting and hopefully achieve some of the Pocket Bird designs you all suggested~ (We're so close to our next stretch goal!!) They are super cute and I can't wait to show you!

Lastly, I updated my main page with a few new visuals to make this process clearer~ I also added one more Add-on to get you more discounts on a pin and sticker combo for any unlocked pin design, whether it's from the main Pocket Birds collection, the Legendary pins, or the Mystery pins! Feel free to check it out if you wanna get the most out of this campaign~ 

Thank you again for your support, this has been so much fun for me! I can't wait to get these Pocket Birds in your pockets!
