Thank you all for being so great at responding to surveys so far. I sent them over the past few days and I haven't I haven't been well enough to sit at my pc to type out an update. 😭 

 

✨ We are at 63% surveys completed!  ✨ 

We do have a few weeks to fill these out so please feel free to take your time or adjust your pledges as needed. If you didn't get an email regarding your survey, you should be able to see it when you log in to backerkit.

However if you are having any issues please feel free to reach out to me at any time [email protected] - I'll do my best to answer! I'm still recovering from a bad cold so I'm sorry if I'm not 100% when replying to your emails (I know a couple of you have dealt with my horrible typos already).

In case you missed the crowdfunding project or if you have friends who missed out on it, I have opened my preorder store! This store will be open all month long.

Once I get to around 90% completed I will start putting orders in, I anticipate this happening at the end of the month. This is the part we all dread - the wait for production. I'm still waiting on my sample orders but the silence right now is due to factories being closed for a Chinese holiday but I hope my next update will be to show off some pretty finished sample pins~

First off I just want to say thank you again for all the overwhelming support the past few weeks. It truly means so much to me. I've been working on my moth dragon designs since 2020 and I always felt scared to make them a real thing because I didn't think there would be enough interest and yall totally proved me wrong 😭. This was my most successful enamel pin crowdfunded campaign to date and you all did that and I am so humbled you guys.

I do want to make a series 2 but I probably wont work on those for a while because I do have a lot of events to prepare for this year. I also have hope that the plushie idea comes together though like I said in a previous update, plushies take a long time to prototype! 

If you want to keep updated on future projects feel free to 

April 18th - May 2nd

Please keep an eye on your emails as this may reflect in some failed charges. You have these two weeks to fix your payment. 

I totally understand there are issues right now, I have 3 failed charges from pintopia campaigns that I am trying to fix! I believe the biggest issue is backerkit is reflecting as a subscription charge instead of a one-time charge so banks are flagging payments so be sure to contact your bank to make sure things are processed correctly.

May 3rd

If you wanted to add more items to your pledge you may do so during the survey.
If you weren't able to pledge for anything during the campaign, you may opt in to preorder items!

If you have any concerns or questions please feel free to contact me [email protected]! 
I'm excited to make some pretty pins and I hope you are too!!

I'm sorry for the brief pause in updates, I've been really busy this week! I can't believe we hit 10k!! I'm in shock - I really appreciate all your support so far~ maybe I'll upgrade one of the designs to be stained glass now that I have a bit more funds than I planned 🤔 I was thinking the muslin moth would be perfect!


I did get the final completed version of the moon flower pin banner, I think it looks really pretty!

I'm working on another pin banner but its for my regular shop so please feel free to follow me on social media @lizbiecafe Twitter, IG, Bluesky, etc etc to see updates about more banner designs!


And I did promise I would share updates on the little dragonpillar plushie so I come to bring you a really cute rough first draft :D

I already have them working on some revisions I am really excited about this little guy!! 


We are down to the last 3 days of crowdfunding gosh can you believe it??? I definitely want to plan for a series 2! there are so many pretty moths I want to draw! But that is for future Liz to figure out haha

I designed a special pin banner and I added it to the campaign at a special discount rate just for you guys~

Below is the sample photo. It's not 100% completed yet as I have to fix some of the cutting issues but I think it came out SO pretty. The moth dragons and any other night time themed pins will look absolutely stunning displayed on this!

A couple of weeks ago I requested to have 3 dragon pin samples made because I will be doing transparent stained glass wing effects! Last night my rep sent me some photos and I wanted to share them with all of you~

They still need the stained glass fills and all the printing but I'm so very excited to see them finished. They're going to look so pretty. 😊

Wow!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the support, we unlocked the mini dragonpillar pins!

I'm so excited to share some news with you regarding the little baby dragonpillars if you are as big of a fan of them as I am - I'm working on sampling plush designs 🥰 If I get any updates regarding the plushie while this campaign is still up I'll be more than happy to share! I don't expect them to be finished in time for this project because sampling plush can take quite a long time as it is a huge project with tons of edits but fingers crossed I will have something this year.

I am not sure if I'll be adding any more stretchgoals to this campaign but if there are any further updates I'll let you know ~ you are all so amazing and I'm stoked to make these pins ^^

I added the new stretchgoal which was for 6400 which we passed already! This means we are at 8 designs WOW! I added some more pledge options ~ I'm sorry they don't all have images I will work on that asap

I may have sneakily added in a new goal for the project ~~
 ( •̀ω •́ )

Hello everyone! I have added the stretchgoals that have already been funded, the Muslin and the Atlas. (note: the designs are not 100% finished yet, but i wanted to at least throw up all the graphics)

So we currently have 7 enamel pins unlocked and ready to grab. Below will be a poll on what the next stretchgoal design I should work on so feel free to let me know if you'd rather have mini pins or another moth dragon!

I also updated the pledge levels as well as added the keychain to my add-ons in case you either wanted more than 1 or missed out on the 48 hour deal.

Some questions I thought I should address:
~ The sticker pack will be updated with every unlocked design. So currently the sticker pack has 7 stickers in total.
~ I will have a backerkit store open after the campaign ends and all the prices will be the same! The prices will increase when they are in-hand and in my store.
~ You will get the freebie pins if you back sticker only pledge tiers which I believe my project partner has (I do not).


I think theres more but my brain cell is strugglin' so feel free to drop any questions below and I'll answer them asap. MWAh

Yall are so amazing, you have completely funded every single design I had planned for this project.

I'm working as quick as I can on new designs but I feel like we will already unlock the next species before I even get the graphics up!! So here's the sketches to get things at least out there~

WOW, what an amazing first day.
I'm absolutely blown away.
I wanted to wait to do an update for the project because I'm pretty sure we are all dealing with a flood of backerkit emails right about now. But I just needed to extend my gratitude for the outpouring support!

I've already backed a few campaigns myself. The talent Pintopia2 has brought out is absolutely killer (like, wallet killing, sob).

First off, thank you so very much for supporting my moth dragon series. I'm so honored. I've spent most of today an anxious wreck. I probably will be feeling this for the next 3 weeks, tbqh, lol. This has been a baby I've been working on since 2020 and I'm just... so happy to see people excited about them as much as I am.

For those who are part of my Patreon I do have an update for you: I found out that the patreon exclusive add-on is not available. but please do not worry! When I send out surveys at the end I will ask for your patreon email & information and include the freebie in your packages so you don't miss out. I should have checked with backerkit before offering a secret add-on, but it was so last minute planned, I'm really sorry!


Also, I will be asking everyone what moth dragon species they want me to draw for my next stretch goal, please feel free to join me in my community on Discord to give me ideas or comment below~:
