Project Update: Update: Last pins have arrived!! Will be shipping them out this week!

Hello!!

I know that I haven't posted any updates and that there are a few people waiting on some remaining pins. They have arrived (looks great ;;). I plan on packing and shipping them out by next week, so please keep an eye out for tracking!

Afterwards, I'll be setting majority of the pledges as fulfilled!

Thank you all for your patience ;u;

Project Update: Update: Customs is Holding my Pins

Sadly, the pins are under inspection… I don’t foresee any issues with them because 1. No copyrighted materials and  2. Everything is declared. It just means that it will take longer than anticipated for them to arrive… but once they arrive, I will fulfill the remaining pledges :) I DID NOT FORGET ABOUT YOU GUYS!!

This is also one reason that I rarely design pins of characters from certain series… it is just too much of a risk for my heart to handle.

Other news, my freshwater pins are all funded!!! So if you considered a design before or wanted to suggest a particular species, you can do so now :3

Please take care of yourselves!!

Project Update: Update: Finishing up on prepping orders then START Packing!!

Hello everyone,

I've been busy prepping all the pins, so packing would go by faster. There are some good and bad news.

  •  Good news, I am hoping to get almost every order shipped out by the end of this month!
  • Bad news... I dumbed and have 0 inventory of some older pins that have been ordered. BUT!! I will be restocking them and shipping them separately free of shipping charges because that's my fault. This is mainly for people who pledge for the Spotted Cerberus, Proud to Bee Me, and My Honey.

When I'm not working on packing everyone's pledges, I've been thinking of a list of fresh water critters for my next set. I will also be introducing pin banners to everyone that can be added-on!

My list currently has:
  • Axolotl
  • Goldfish
  • Alligator
  • Cat Fish
  • Red-Eared Slider Turtle
  • Black Bass
  • Piranha
  • Betta fish
  • Pop-eyed Goldfish

However, I would love to hear your suggestions on some fresh water critters to potentially include or replace what I have on my list! If you have a minute or two of free time, please consider filling out the form ;;

Project Update: Update: Everything has arrived!!

Hello!

All the ita bags, pins, and stickers have arrived!!

Timeline: (based on prior update)
  • May - Production Start for ita bags and enamel pins  
  • July - Currently in production
  • Aug- Enamel Pins production completed and shipped to me
  • Sept - Ita Bags production completed and shipped to me
  • October/November - Receive all items and start grading and fulfillment
  • November - Complete fulfilling pledges. Completion estimated to be December if there are no issues.


Grading:
Currently all except for one of the enamel pin designs have been graded! I don't foresee any issues with them though, and if there are, I will have enough to fulfill all the pledges. Sadly, I haven't had time to take any pictures of them, but I'll provide another update with pictures for everyone.

For the ita bags, these are taking a lot longer to grade mainly because of the size of them, but they have all arrived and taken over the place haha. Currently, I am anticipating that we will complete grading them by next weekend of the weekend after.

Everyone's address will be locked on October 11th 8 PM PT. Please double check and modify the shipping address prior to that. I will be setting a calendar reminder because I am that forgetful. Fulfillment should be completed by November instead of December, but if there are any changes, I will post another update.

Thank you all for your patience with me!

Edit:
I also know that some people have messaged me directly. I do apologise for not addressing them yet. They will be addressed this week!
