We did it!!!<3
Thank you all SO much for your amazing support of this project!
The campaign has officially come to an end and we blew all our goals out of the water<3 Thank you!
But the fun isn't over yet~!
Now that the campaign has ended, we move on to the next step. Backerkit has begun charging cards for pledges. For anyone that has not yet been charged, you have a 2 week period to update your payment method, so don't worry if you weren't able to right away<3 Please note that shipping has not yet been charged, and will be charged at a later date, closer to the actual time of shipping:)
Once the 2 weeks are up, Backerkit will release the funds to me and surveys will be sent out to everyone!
These surveys are very important, because this is how you will fill out all your shipping information in order to receive your items. I will update again to remind everyone when the surveys actually go out:)
Also, your surveys will be a chance to order any pins that you might not have been able to get during the campaign.
Thank you all so much!! I'm looking forward to bringing these designs to life!

Some Fun Facts<3
Hey all!
I received a couple of great questions and I thought the answers would be nice to share in an update!<3
I received a couple of great questions and I thought the answers would be nice to share in an update!<3
- Firstly, a big fact about the pins! The rainbow pins are all going to be anodized metal, which means they'll be soft enamel with an epoxy coating<3 The gold pins will have gold plating, and will be hard enamel!
- Second, some pin lore<3 For those that have been around since the beginning of my journey, thank you from the bottom of my heart! Some of you may have recognized the add-on pin, 'As Above, So Below', from one of my first campaigns! I have always adored that design and the meaning behind it, but as the years have passed and I've grown as an artist, I felt like I could do more with it. So AASB 2.0 was born! Here is a comparison from the old vs new design. Along with the parts that were redrawn, I also added recessed metal details and screen printing. I hope you guys like her!<3
- Another pin got a revamp that was probably way harder to recognize. Years ago, during the same campaign as AASB, I released a pin called Cosmos! She was cute and sweet, but again I felt like I could do more now. I loved the concept, but wanted to push it further. So Galaxy was born! Here is a comparison of those two<3 As you can tell, a lot more got changed here than AASB!
- Lastly, someone asked for some reference photos of how the rainbow metal will turn out<3 These photos are from my second ever pin collection that came out years ago, and I wish I took more pictures of the wide range of colors the rainbow metal can achieve! The color shifting effect can range from blues, greens, purples, golds, and pinks. It's a beautiful plating! And makes each pin 100% unique. I'm not a skilled product photographer unfortunately, but google has some pretty awesome example pics of anodized metal pins<3
That's all I have for now!!<3 As always, please reach out to me or comment if you have any questions:) Have a great night!!

Amazing First Day!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you all so much for an amazing first day!! I can't even begin to describe how grateful I am <3
We blew through the rainbow funding goals on the first day alone!! I've now opened all the gold designs, so they can be pledged to also.
I already have some fun ideas for possible future goals, and I thought it would be fun to do some polls of various ideas and see what you all would like the most<3
Thank you so much again!!!
Please let me know if anyone has any questions or ideas to share!
Until next time<3 Have a great week!

Stretch Goal Ideas!<3
Hi Everyone!~
I am SO excited about this collection and to be sharing something new with you all!
I've only released the first 5 designs so far, with some waiting to be revealed once the campaign starts:) But I wanted to see if anyone had any fun ideas for celestial deities that they would like to share here<3
I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
