I'm so thrilled to share that all pledges that completed the survey/payment process have been shipped and I'll be officially closing out the campaign on December 1, 2025! The majority of pledges shipped late May/early June. If your pledge included a commissioned charcoal drawing, the drawings are also now complete and shipped earlier this week! Thank you all so much, again, for your support, and I hope you've loved these pins as much as I loved creating them ^_^
If you haven't received tracking information or a package for your pledge, then you still have unfinished tasks to address - either an unfinished survey, missed payment, or you're a UK backer that has not reached out to wrap up your pledge. I've also sent emails directly to each of these pledges regarding open actions. I'm unable to send you your rewards if these steps aren't complete. If your survey is not completed and payment processed by the December 1 date, your pledge will be considered a donation to the campaign and rewards can no longer be redeemed.

If you missed my Mythical Bards campaign this past June, the pre-order store is now officially open! This includes an unlockable dragon pin (seen below) that didn't quite get unlocked in the campaign, but there's another chance now!
If you did back the Mythical Bards campaign, please ignore the pre-order store. You'll have access to all the same items through your surveys, which are being finalized and approved now.

I have two more enamel pin campaigns tentatively planned at the moment:
Mythical Bards 2 (Spooky Edition), as part of Pintober in October 2025
Con Adventurers 2, adding even more convention adventures as part of Pintopia in 2026
Both are still tentative and in progress, but if you follow me here or on socials you should get updates when they go live.
And with that, we're a wrap on Con Adventurers! Enjoy, and keep conventioning on!
Hello, Adventurers! We're in the home stretch for "Con Adventurers" and have something NEW on the horizon!
The first batch of pledges were dropped at the post office this afternoon and the last "Con Adventurer" pins arrived today and look good at a first look! I'm jumping immediately into adding backing cards and prepping these to ship out to you, so here's your heads up that all remaining addresses are locking down with a 48-hour warning tomorrow, May 28. Pins will be shipping out soon!
If you have an open action (resolving payment issues, placing a UK order, answering survey, etc.), you should have received an "Action Requested" email from me on May 17. Please wrap up any open actions as soon as possible so I can get your pins to you! My goal is to get all remaining orders I can out within the next week. I'm looking forward to getting these to you all soon, and a bit ahead of schedule!
Looking for more pins? My next pin campaign, "Mythical Bards," is launching on June 10 as part of Pin Quest: Myths and Monsters. My campaign is starting with just three pins of mythical creatures telling their bardish stories and we'll see where we go from there, but also there are freebie pins for anyone who backs three or more projects!
If you loved my "Con Adventurer" pins or are interested in mythical creatures or bards or mythical creatures as bards, I hope you'll give the project a follow!

Adventurers - Apologies for the quick follow up from yesterday's update! It appears that I'm not able to send a 48-hour notice before addresses lock when I'm locking individual pledges. SO, if your order only contains one or more of the Collect, Discuss, or Hydrate pins, stickers, or Artist series pins, please make sure to check your address (if needed) within the next 48 hours! I will be locking those orders on Tuesday, May 20 and plan to start shipping this week.
If your order is locked at that time but the address still needed to be updated, please let me know!
Hi there, Adventurers! The time has (mostly) come! The first three pins (Collect, Discuss, and Hydrate) have arrived and have been fully graded, backed, and are ready to ship out. The stickers are all ready to go. The last four pins have approved proofs, have been in production for a couple weeks at this point, and should be shipping soon.
Which means we're coming into the final piece of this campaign! I'm going to start sending out 48 hour notices to lock addresses for any orders I am able to fulfill starting Sunday, May 18. That's any pledges with completed surveys and successful payments that include only pins or stickers I have on hand now. If that's you, please make sure that your address is correct so that your pins are sent to the correct place!
If your pledge includes one of the four pins still in progress you have a little more time still and I'll send another notification when everything is fully in hand and ready to send.
If you have not filled out your survey or had a card error, I have emailed a reminder to you directly. Please make sure to finish these actions as soon as possible.
A quick snapshot of the three pins I have on hand is below. So excited to be getting these into your hands very soon!

Hi there, Adventurers! A little update as we're heading into the final stretch, and some pictures.
All pins have been ordered, backer cards are in production, and the first pins are beginning to arrive! Collect and Hydrate are now in hand (pictures below) and Discuss is en route. We're still working through proofs for the other four but they're very nearly there!
I do still have a couple calls to action for folks:
Surveys have been LOCKED and cards have been charged.
Please fill out the survey if you haven't yet. There's a very small handful who haven't yet filled out the survey, and I can't send you your pledge if I don't know where to send it or what you want sent to you. For your awareness, any remaining surveys are now being locked as they come in, roughly 48 hours after they are filled out.
If you chose pay-over-time you will not have received your survey yet. Your survey should be sent to you automatically once the final payment has been received.
Please double-check your card info if your final payment did not go through. A few of the payments for shipping/add-ons/missed initial pledge payments still failed. If this is you, you should still be able to correct your payment! Please let me know if you're having trouble getting the system to work correctly for you.
UK Backers, I need to hear from you via Etsy if you haven't reached out to me yet so I can set up your order! I've ordered plenty of extra in each design so I have no concerns about availability, but I do need to hear from you to set up the order.
I'll note that I know I've seen messages like this for crowdfunds in the past and skipped past them because I didn't think they were talking about me, only to find out once that my card had expired and I didn't notice XD It happens! Checking in advance is helpful, but I will also begin reaching out individually to folks who meet any of the above to make sure you have what you need from me to wrap up actions on your end.
ON THE TIMELINE: I've begun sorting through and grading the pins that have arrived so far and will start backing them as soon as the backing cards have arrived. I expect these first pins should be available to ship by late May/early June, which has us on track (and maybe a little on the early side)!
That's all for now, Adventurers! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, and I'll continue sharing updates as they are available.
