In 2024, we realized some really fantastic tarot-style pins for Pintopia. We saw 10 cards, but 3 of them weren't normal tarot cards, and we had 3 deaths. While 2025's Pintopia brought some wonderful Goblin pins for our titular Publishing Goblin, we don't yet have a full major arcana, do we? So we're working on that.
The High Priestess, The Wheel, and The Hierophant join our set with gorgeous stained-glass treatments! Plus filler pin sets to go with the tarot-style cards to fill in space around your jacket, board, ita bag, or wherever you put your pins. There are also new seasonal pins, new pin banners, and more on the project--
Including new pins to come! There are no stretch goals needed here, your Pub Gob is just putting together new pins to add to the catalogue, because there are so many delightful pins to make!
January 22nd, first thing in the new year, we are welcoming in some new pin designs to the tarot-style enamel pin set we started in 2024 with this project. Now, these three, the High Priestess, the Wheel, and the Hierophant, are also featuring something very special: They will have sections without any metal backing, letting the light pass through the stained-glass style pieces. The Priestess's moons, the Wheel's outer and inner sections, and the Hierophant's windows, will all be stained-glass in appearance.
And it doesn't stop there, there are new smaller pins in the same color scheme available to help fill space around your tarot cards, as well as multiple collaborative incentive pins, and a new pin series that officially begins in 2026 with this project!
At this point, everyone's orders are packed and labeled. There are 100 or so packages in my hands that are going into the mail today/tomorrow, but that's it! There are 11 people who didn't do their surveys yet, but as they get them done I'll drop those in the mail as well. No worries or rush on this project really.
Thanks so much for backing, and making these pins possible. I really enjoyed making them and look forward to more pin projects in the future! I really like designing in this space, it's a great deal of fun.
Be sure to check your email for the tracking numbers, they have all already been sent out from Pirate Ship!
As always reach out here or [email protected] if you feel yours has been missed friends. But otherwise, this project is done! : )
You're looking at the full spread of items here, with a quarter for scale. Yeah, the Alleyway Oracle is a HUGE pin. 3.5" tall didn't seem like much until I opened the box.
Now, Im missing 11 boxes of pins still (they're coming tomorrow), so I'll hold off packing just yet, but that means over this next week I should be able to get quite a bit packed and moving. This weekend happens to be Denver Pride weekend, then my birthday, so please give me a little grace in probably waiting until the last weekend of June instead haha. In penance, I give you photos!
If you're one of the few people who didn't do your survey yet, hop on it! I won't probably get EVERYTHING moving right away, but I will be sending out packages here and there on the way to the big shipment weekend. If for no other reason than to clear out my apartment of boxes. : )
Alright friends, happy Pride month, hope you are as excited for these pins as I am to get them to you!
The pins were finished and in the mail a couple days ago to me, arriving on the 10th. The collab pins needed adjusted so those will probably come a week or so after. That means I'm about to purchase the packages to ship the pins in today as well, and that this month our packages will be heading out to all of you! This is an exciting and rapid turn around if ever there was one for my projects.
I'm too used to multi-month manufacturing and shipping!
That means it's a good time for you to check in on your survey here to make sure you have it done with the proper address. I'll be locking orders in and charging shipping June 14th, Friday of next week. There are fewer than 300 packages to ship here, so it will be a very quick process for me! I can easily do all of them in a weekend! I'll be shipping any packages that don't have the collab pins first, since they're coming later. But the collab pins-included packages will follow shortly thereafter!
And of course, as soon as they arrive, there will be phoottoooossss~~~~!
