Hi gang! I was hoping to have pins in hand by now, but as they are intricate designs using complex plating and techniques, they're taking a little longer to get perfected. I would much rather deliver top notch pins slightly late than have rushed, poor quality ones and my fab manufacturer agrees with me.
Here is a look at the process behind the pins! It's that beautiful plating that has taken the extra time, it can bubble as part of the process and we wanted to make sure you only had the smooooothest pins.
Thank you so much for your patience! They will be worth the wait.
All other rewards are here, so I will have a look at surveys and see if there is anyone NOT receiving pins and I'll get those sent out first 🥰
Thank you for your patience - this is one of those interim updates to let you guys know that everything is proceeding smoothly and pins should arrive in the next couple of weeks! As soon as they do I shall update you all again and let you know when addresses will be locked on the surveys.
Stickers, dragon cardigans and the rest of the apparel is here and ready to send, so it's just pins, bookmarks and banners we are waiting on now!
Things are all bubbling along happily behind the scenes! Stickers are here, cardigans are estimated to arrive in a fortnight and pins are plating. SO! It is time to charge cards and make sure everything else that needs to go ahead can do so before shipping!
Cards will be charged on Wednesday 22nd April.
You will receive a warning via email 48 hours before this happens.

Unfunded Stretch Goal Items
The Moth Cardigan and both sock designs will not be going ahead this time - I would like to do a knitwear campaign later in the year so will bring those back! Thank you to everyone who supported these items, I will let you know when they are available later on.
Both banner designs and the moth bookmark are in production!
As always, thank you so much for being here and supporting my work! If you're interested in EVEN MOAR PINS check out my Porcelain Pooches and Bark Types campaign which is live right now 😍
My inbox is open for queries, so if you need any help please email [email protected]
This is an exciting one for those who have pre-ordered the Purple Dragon Cardigan! It's the frst look at a knitted back panel!
You may notice that the colours are slightly different to the digital mock up. I felt that the dragons got lost on darker clouds so chose to switch it around a little to ensure everything stands out. I am super happy with how this panel has turned out!
The moth cardigan is likely to go on the backburner for now as we simply don't have enough pre-orders to fund them. If anyone who has pre-ordered the moth would like to switch it for a dragon cardigan please let me know and I can do that for you! Moth cardigans will automatically be removed from your pledges before cards are charged (unless we have some last minute orders) so you only need to email me if you'd like to swap designs. [email protected]
Pin production is chugging along, these will be a little longer yet so I will post once production is nearing completion.
Orders will lock on Friday the 3rd of April. As pins are in production, the quantities are now set so it's time to lock down those order. You will receive a 48 hour warning via email! I will not charge cards at this time, that will happen nearer to the shipping date. I will of course update you again before this happens 🥰
Moving soon? No worries - you will still be able to update your address until the pins arrive at HQ.
Bookmark Samples
Finally something shiny to show you!!
Aren't they BEAUTIFUL?! They came out so much prettier than I could have hoped! They are so elegant and feel sturdy even with the intricate details - I already have one keeping my page in my current book (Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky, if you were wondering, although I am also listening to the Dungeon Crawler Carl audiobooks).
The Death's Head Hawk Moth could do with a little help to unlock, but having seen this sample I am tempted to self fund it regardless, so don't be surprised if you see it suddenly unlock soon!
Cardigan Samples
Midnight Moth cardigan samples are also here, and I'm obsessed.
Here is the medium being modelled! These need a little more help to unlock but I will keep hustling to try and get enough backers!
