I wanted to expand on the previous update (which I'll admit was a bit hastily thrown together at the end of a very, very long day for me), along with completing and sharing further updates to various parts of the Foxwright Apothecary campaign.

🆕 NEW PINS
To recap: the six new designs have been unveiled, and I hope everyone likes them! Existing pins also now have glittery accents!
From left to right: Carrion Crow Skull, Potion of Healing, Olivine Crystal, Citrine Crystal, Dreamweaver Draught, Desert Dragon Skull
These designs are likely to undergo some revisions, namely simplifying some of the lines on the skulls. I might also make some larger edits to the Dreamweaver Draught-- it's definitely headed in the right direction of what I'm aiming for, but it still feels off to me. I suspect I'll be simplifying the herbs and possibly adjusting colors.
Additionally, there's an 8k stretch goal for a new freebie mini pin that has been met! This freebie will be given to anyone who pledges to receive three or more pins! There is a poll that is currently live to help decide what the design for that pin will be! At the time of writing this update, moon phases are tied with a yet-to-be-determined herb/plant.
A new pledge tier has been added to the project, for the full Foxwright Apothecary collection of 13+ pins, stickers, and any/all further additions at a 25% discount!
I'm trying something new with this one-- offering a limited number of slots for a custom pin designs to add to the collection! I'll work with you to help me design a pin of your choosing to add to the shelves of the Foxwright Apothecary and you'll receive 25 pins entirely of your choosing! These 25 can all be of your design, or any combination of yours and other campaign designs. Your pin design will be available for other backers to select and any leftovers will be in my shop after fulfillment. You will also be able to purchase as many additional units of your pin design as you please for a reduced cost than the general additional pin add-on.
This tier is essentially for sponsoring the creation of a specific pin design that you want to see become a reality!

❓ POLLS
I've created another poll as well for further stretch goals, which I have attached to this update! I'm curious to see if there's any interest for add-ons like acrylic charms, washi tape, buttons, etc. I think the Potion of Healing sticker design would make a fantastic charms, possibly the Foxwright Apothecary sign design from the campaign cover, too. I have a lot of ideas for different products I could design, it's just a matter of what you all want the most!
I'd also like to know if there's interest for further colorways of the crystal pin, contenders off the top of my head are rose quartz, ametrine, rhodochrosite, etc. Are there any other campaign pins that you think would also be good candidates for alternate colorways?

📍 OTHER PINTOPIA PROJECTS I LOVE
I'd also love to take a moment to put a spotlight on some other Pintopia projects I adore and highly recommend checking out!
This one might be one of my favorite projects out of them all! The designs and art is so thoughtfully made, and you must check out the absolutely gorgeous character prints that accompany the pins!
I love the graphic style of these deadly ladies, especially the use of flowing, intricate linework in the hair (or snakes, in the case of Medusa)! This project is the cross collab pair to the next project on the list!
Collab pairing to the above, these pins are simply stunning and well worth you pledge! These ladies are ethereal and so tastefully designed! And can I just say, these two campaigns are just perfectly paired and complement each other so well-- it's no wonder that they've held the top spot for cross collab projects!
This pin set is beautifully haunting and weaves the next threads in an ongoing art series, in addition to supporting a worthy cause. I love this one for both its somber, dark tones and the use of pins as an art form to build upon an existing story and body of work.
Another immediate pledge for me! This campaign's designs are just *chef's kiss*... the colors, the symmetry, the whole theming is right up my alley and I'm just dying to get my hands on these pins (the pastel African Wild Dog has my whole heart too)!
Dragons will always have my whole heart (which I feel is no real surprise to anyone), and these moth dragon pins are spectacular! This project is delightfully whimsical, and each dragon is so unique and full of character it's hard to choose a favorite; though personally I'm quite partial to the Comet and the Atlas! I do love my earth tones...
