It's been a busy day of checking and checking again, but I'm pleased to say I've sent the first of the surveys - the Smoke Test. This means that surveys have been sent to 5% of you, and if everything looks ok, then I will send out the rest of the surveys early next week. The survey is your chance to choose the pin designs you'd like, pay shipping fees, and add further items to your order if you'd like to. I've had a few requests from new backers for items from previous campaigns, so you'll find these in the Add-on section!

I've had positive feedback from my pin manufacturer about the pin designs, giving me hope that I'll be sending out orders much quicker than expected! I'll keep you posted on that one! I've ordered the keychains for returning backers today, which is super exciting!

Let me know if there are any issues, otherwise I'll send the rest of the surveys as intended. I look forward to sharing photos of the pin samples and finished items as they arrive!

What a wild ride! Thanks to every single one of you for pledging your support!! We couldn't have done this without you!!

It is so warming to see the names of returning backers popping up! Thank you to new backers too who've come on board to help me make this crazy project a reality! Thanks also to the creator-backers who've given me a boost in the last few days. And all the lovely messages of support. For those of you who've liked and reposted my social media posts, and checked in to see how I was doing! Your support helped me keep going even when I thought the project might not make it to it's funding goal.

It's been a rollercoaster, from "OMG I'm never doing this again!" to excitedly planning a big group-collab with Jess aka Loadofolbobbins!!! (More on that later...) I know that when I put the last box of rewards from this project in the postbox in a few months' time, I'll be shouting "More! More!"

So what's next? Backerkit will now be charging your cards for the amount pledged during the campaign. You'll have two weeks to correct any failed charges, during which time I will be preparing the surveys and polishing up the designs to send to the manufacturer!

Thank you all again and I'll be back in touch soon with the surveys :)

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all your feedback! I've now added the Engulfed Castle Sticker Set as a pledge level and as an Add-on. This set includes 1 X glossy vinyl 7.7 cm (3") sticker of each of the conquered Engulfed Castle designs. Currently, this is 4 designs = 4 stickers, but if we reach stretch goals and conquer new Engulfed Castle designs, then these will be added to the sticker pack. It's a reward that grows! I've also added the sticker set to the ALL-IN, one of everything pledge level :)

It's easy to switch to this pledge level by finding your email confirming your pledge and clicking 'Update your pledge' or navigating to the campaign and clicking 'Manage your pledge'.

Thanks!

It's been a great start to the campaign - thanks to all you early backers!!! But I fear we've stalled a bit with still £250 to reach the funding goal. If you expressed an interest in the project but have not yet backed it, is there anything I can do to help win your pledge? Would adding a non-pin pledge level help? Scroll down for the poll and some ideas I've had...

Here is a reminder of the Engulfed Castle designs

If like me, you're eager to see this campaign funded, then fear not - I've still got one trick up my sleeve!! I'm heading to the WORD+2026 (World Organoid and Organ-on-a-Chip Research Day) in Cambridge next week with 400 flyers! Wish me luck!!
