A short, happy update: Fulfillment is in the final stretch! A bunch of USPS tracking numbers went out last night, and more will go out tomorrow/Monday. There are only 13 orders left to be packed, and my plan is to get them done tomorrow. As before, when you receive a tracking number, please give it a few days to update and reflect the package as "in transit."
Thank you, as always, for being so supportive and patient. While manufacturing problems like plating and coating issues are out of my control, it's never fun to delay fulfillment, even partially.
I will leave this project open for another month after the final shipments. There are still 18 errored credit cards, and I understand the staggered fulfillment may have been confusing, so I want to give any stragglers extra time to fix their info.
Questions/Issues?
If there are any questions about your package, please reach out at [email protected] or message me from the project FAQ > "Ask a question." Any messages sent there will go to my email. I will always work to get any issues sorted ASAP!
I'll update again when the campaign is nearing closure, and when extras and B-Grades are available on Etsy.
Another short update: another batch of orders shipped out earlier this week, and more tracking numbers went out today and more are going out this evening!
If you received a tracking number today, please give the number 24-48 hours to update and reflect the package as "in transit." I have a USPS pickup scheduled for tomorrow, plus another on Tuesday (I try not to overwhelm my mail carrier with too many packages at once).
There are still a handful of folks who need to fix their CC information, too, so please check your info if you haven't received any tracking, just in case!
More Copper Owls have Arrived
Third time's the charm, because I finally have enough A-grade copper owls to finish fulfillment. If you haven't been charged, watch for Backerkit emails regarding credit card charges + address locking!
I was hoping to finish fulfillment (minus 61 copper owl orders) before the start of Pintober, October 20th, but it's going to take longer. My apologies, this estimate was too ambitious for so many remaining orders, and I've been extra busy also trying to prepare for Pintober.
I will still be packing and shipping as much as I can over the coming weeks and during the upcoming campaign, too! Now that Owls are in, there are 147 total orders left to fulfill as of this update.
While I'm hesitant to give a date, I'm keen to finish fulfillment by the end of the month. There were 597 total orders, and with 20+ pin designs, add-ons, and so many flawed pieces, it's been a lot! Lesson learned about making overly complex campaigns. 😅
As usual, I really appreciate the support and patience. :)
I wanted to check in real quick to let you know that things are progressing smoothly, just a bit more slowly than I'd like. It's just me doing all the packing and shipping right now (but my husband helps when he can), and the large number of designs definitely slow things down. Thanks for your patience! 101 packages down, 181 to go.
Another big batch of orders will be packed and shipped this week, so please keep an eye out for tracking numbers in the coming weeks if you still haven't received one!
As before, I am still waiting on the Copper Owl, and there are 61 backers whose cards have not been charged as I wait for these.
Thank you again! Feel free to reach out if you have questions or if there are any issues with your order. Email at: [email protected], or @kiranight_art on Instagram. I'm a bit more active on IG than usual, so I should see your DM.
Great news, I finally received the remade pins last Friday, and I've looked through all of them. They're great, except for the Copper/Light Owl design. This one still has issues with discolored, blotchy metal. ~63% of the pins I received have this issue, and so the flawed pieces are being remade AGAIN. Very happy the factory is remaking them, but I'm not sure why this design has decided to be so troublesome. 🥲
However, everything else is ready to go and I will be charging cards and locking addresses for folks I can fulfill starting tomorrow! 🎉 Please watch your inbox for BackerKit emails.
I will send out as many copper owls as I can, but if you do not receive a cc charge notification from BackerKit in the next week or so, you'll have to wait 4-5 weeks longer. I'm so sorry for the delay.
Of course, copper metal is tricky due to being so oxidation-prone. Additionally, each piece is handmade, so small flaws are normal and inevitable. Please know I wouldn't delay this design further unless I truly felt the quality of these pieces was not acceptable. Thank you for understanding, and I'm thrilled to be sending out the majority of remaining orders.
I'm pretty confident that these orders will be shipped before Pintober, which starts October 20th! I will keep you informed if fulfillment takes longer.
This campaign will be smaller and more focused. It will include 7 "main" pins, plus a cross-collab pin, and a Pintober Group freebie pin. Returning backers will also receive a freebie (still deciding on what exactly it will be), and there will be discounted early bird tiers. Plus some fun stickers and washi tape!
I've been extremely busy, but I should have some updates on that campaign very soon (spoiler: it includes some sample progress too) 👁️
Another short update today: I'm still waiting on pin remakes! I've been in touch with my manufacturer and confirmed that pins are still in production—early September is the rough estimate for completion.
Apologies for keeping you waiting, but of course, I would much rather the coating issues be fixed and you receive good pins! My hope is remakes will arrive early September, and the remaining orders can be shipped out before October rolls around.
I will keep you updated on the timeline and let you know of any further delays or changes.
If you've received your pins, feel free to reach out and let me know! :D And as always, if you have questions or issues with your order, please let me know via email at [email protected].
If your address is locked/card charged and you did not receive a tracking notice: don't fret—your package will be in the second wave of shipments.
Remakes
I received a shipping notice for Ms. Foxglove! She is currently on the way to me, and when she arrives, I can check the batch looks good, and get her on backing cards. Then I can start shipping her out as well. :D
Please note, these manufacturer photos are the same pin, just different lighting. I'm so excited for her to arrive—she looks so pretty 🥹

The rest of the remakes are ongoing. My manufacturer has assured me they're in-progress but with no ETA at the moment. Frankly, I'm in no hurry, as long as the issues are fixed. I'll keep you updated as I hear more.
Errored Cards
Some folks still have errored cards from the first batch of shipments—please update your CC info as soon as you can, so I can ship your rewards ASAP.

Feel free to email me at [email protected] with any questions or if your order has any issues! Thank you!
