Last KS ended, Once the money comes in these pins will be shipped!
Thank you everyone for your patience!
My previous kickstarter ended, and during this time of recovery in my life, it successfully raised everything I needed to help this project move forward. The finances are still processing, but the moment I receive them into my bank account, I am buying all the labels to ship out your guys' rewards! I should be getting the money within the next two weeks, and you'll hear from me once they are shipped!
The money Gods push me to tell you guys, my Etsy shop is still going through a Summer Sale, where my stickers and enamel pins are 20% off. You can find the link here! https://www.etsy.com/shop/SpectroliteAAA My shop it a bit thin with only Coffee Dragons but soon that will change in a few weeks when I can get the dessert dragons up. Thank you!
Next project HERE ON BACKERKIT!
I have been thinking about it for a while, and I think my next project is going to be a restock campaign with the addition of brand new pins that elevate these sets. It is something I see other artists do, and with the current state of the economy reflecting on my art business, I cannot seem to be able to get restock on my own, and so a project to assist and revive my previous work sounds fantastic. The restock I want to be getting, is my Tea Dragons, more Coffee Dragons as those are already vanishing, and my Moon and Sun dragons (eclipses included)
For new pins, I have been wanting to expand on my Tea, Coffee, and Dessert Dragons! A whole little cafe. The dessert Dragons only has 7 pins and there are so many other baked goods and sweets I have ideas for to grow that set with more dragons! For the Tea dragons there have been some Teas I feel like I missed that I would love to add to the set as well, this will include a milk boba tea and Jasmin, and potentially Butterfly Pea Flower tea! Included in that, are more small pins at about 1.2 inches of more simple teas so that my one small green tea pin has some more friends. These smaller pins made up of simple teas would be, Black Tea, White Tea, Golden Tea, Oolong, and Earl Grey (to match London Fog of course!) The three sketches above are some concepts of them!
Depending on how much money is raised, I'd love to get mini pins for all three of the sets! I'm thinking teacups and teabags for the Tea set, miniature desserts like cakes and breads for the Dessert set, and small coffee brewers like a coffeepot, french-press etc. for the Coffee set. I think these little mini pins would be adorable, and I already am so obsessed with the flowers of the Garden Dragon trio, and I want more for all my sets! I always put off my mini pins feeling like I need to make more bigger full pins in order to make a profit, but I just love mini pins so much and I want to provide the world with them! There's not enough out there. lol
Below are some examples of what these pins to be restocked look like! I have been getting DMs, emails, and comments begging for restock on all of these pins, and I too would love them back. Thank you everyone, that's gonna do it for this update!
Thank you all for being so patience, it sure has been a minute! The last three months have been absolutely insane. The last you guys heard was that the enamel pins had finished production and that they were on their way 2 months ago, and before that was well-... My life was kinda ending and asking for help. SO! seriously? SERIOUSLY! I cannot thank you all enough for all your patients! Life has been so hard, but slowly but surely thanks to your guys' help, me and Sabrina are ok. as a brief update here, the support that was raised from everyone was enough to break us out of our terrible situation. We were able to pay out our debt, give up the deposit, find a new place in an emergency move, put down on that and we have been living off of what was left since, and now it's pretty much all gone. We've been unpacking, and trying to nurse our Etsy back to health, while traveling to a few conventions all at the same time, and we have been trying our best to find time to recover too. The great thing is that Sabrina landed a new and better job! She's been working there for a few weeks while I situate stuff at home and reviving the art business back up here on BK and KS, and Etsy lol! And her job completely supports us financially. It is tight with little wiggle room, but it pays all our rent, bills, and that is more than I could have ever asked for. We even got on SNAP benefits which helps pay for our groceries and utility bills. It's close, but we are SECURE! We are in a nicer cheaper apartment, I love it so much. It's all thanks to your guys saving us from literally becoming homeless, --and then I'd never get to send out your rewards! 😂 So wowza thank you guys again, wow, seriously the tears I have cried thanks to your guys, emotional support, your financial help, and your patiencs. Thank you all so much💙😭
So!- with that! We are beginning to settle, but not quite out of the woods yet. We are just SO CLOSE! I think by next month, I'll have structure to my life again and kickstarters and backerkit campaigns and whatnot shall go so much more smoothly, just like they did before 2025 😭😂😌 Sorry for the delay, shipment will begin next month after I get home from Sac Anime, which will give me money to fulfill this campaign and get everyone their pins! <3
They are here! they are beautiful!
God I am so obsessed with them! I know you guys are going to love them! I also have put all the coffee dragons for add-ons aside, and they are just big chill'n until these desserts are ready to go out! I'm going to be ordering the packaging and labels with my next paycheck here in about three weeks, and then I'll update yall when things are beginning to ship!
🌻🥀🌸What's New?! What's Next?🌸🌷🌹💐
What's going on now?! Well I have a new kickstarter launching! It's of Antient Ruins and Flower Gardens! I think that fits Dragons quite well! and I haven't seen it like anywhere! I think this is a really fun theme to give myself this next project. My mental health is still pretty low, so I only could muster up getting three pins done on launch, but before the KS ends, I have a few more pins I wanna make fore additional stretch goals, maybe some flower mini pins too! But it feels fucking good to move onto the next project, and that this Dessert Bakery set is gonna wrap up the moment I can. I'd love to get the desserts on the shop but I won't until you guys get your rewards shipped out <3
I gottah keep up the grind, but we are SO so so close to being fully at our best again, and this is the next project I'm so excited for! I really love and missed all the flora in my tea dragons, and while I was able to incorporate plants in the desserts, going fully into flowers has been a theme I've wanted to do since making pins back in 2020. But idk why, I never got like a clear picture, and I think the element my brain was missing was like garden ruin esthetic, and I'm stoked about it. It's live RIGHT NOW! and will be up for the next two weeks! and I believe the three pins designs are already unlocked so that's rad! You can find it here!
Firstly I just want to say thank you THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! 😭🙏💙
You all were so understanding to my last update. Things got really serious and bad at home. This last month and a half has been a whirlwind to experience. A lot of low lows, and a lot of high highs. I'm so sorry for how inconsistent my updates have been this whole last year, and thank you all for understanding even before the full story explaining why came out. Thanks to you guys I am getting back on my feet. Thank you all for showing up for me. Yall saved my life, thank you all.
I've been posting little youtube shorts when I fins a good moment to give an update on my life and what I'm tackling over there (such as the online print sale) so if yall wanna stay tuned in with my situation and the incredible impact yall's support have given us, you can watch my youtube shorts! So far, I have three of them! 😭💙🙏 WE BOUNCING BACK! WE DOING IT! https://www.youtube.com/@SpectroliteAAA/shorts
SO! FOR THE ENAMEL PIN UPDATE!!!
SO! thankfully everything for this kickstarter is going smoothly. About two weeks ago, I got an update from the manufacturer that the enamel pins finished production, and they are being shipped to my new residence! So they should already be about half way here! I'm sorry I didn't get an update once they were first finished, I was just in the heat of unpacking and getting our house in order, and I've only gotten to this now. Thank you all for understanding. All the pins look great, and while manufacturer photos are never the best, here are what they look like!
Also I finally put backs on my backercards to my Etsy and me and my girlfriend Bri's email list that talks about both of our future projects and sale announcments and stuff.
but yeah!!! I'm leaving for FanExpo Denver on Wednesday and I will be gone for a full 2 weeks, so not till like June 11th. They enamel pins I'm gonna guess will arrive while I'm gone, or soon after I return home! So! Shipment for these bad boys will start happening around then!
Hi everyone. I know this isn’t exactly about Backerkit, but I need to do this.
I need help. Serious help.
A brief explanation is that we fell behind on rent for one month, and sank immediately, and now we are facing an eviction and need to move into a small apartment ASAP. We are fighting not to become homeless, and we need help. This is an emergency, I have run out of all of my resources. I have nowhere to turn. I’m so sorry to ask this. Thank you so much for your time. You are my last resort.
Here is a youtube Video that I have posted, that also gives more information, and an update since the launch of the GoFundMe. If you have seen the GoFundMe already before now, for an update, skip to 9 minutes into the video.
https://youtu.be/v5V0FXQHEbk
Thank you all so much. I ask, even just $5 a person, could possibly save our lives. I admit, this is what we have been fighting, and is a big reason why I have fallen behind on the Coffee Dragon Kickstarter, and my mental health has declined so bad. This is the full, and very vulnerable, explanation of why. It has been awful, and we can’t beat this alone. And if you cannot donate, that is totally ok! So in turn, I ask that you please share the GoFundMe and or my Youtube Video around? On social medias. On servers. Forums. Tell your friends, family etc. whoever and whatever anyone feels comfortable with. It can potentially save us. Thank you!😭💙
Samples is here! Mass production has begun! Coffee Dragons available on Etsy!
SAMPLE PICS!!! We are beginning Production!!!
YAY!!! 💙 ✨Things are moving so smoothly for this campaign. The samples were just given to me literally finishing up the Kickstarter update for the super late Coffee Dragon pins! Wow what timing. It's great to have updates for both,-anyways! Here are the WIPS for the enamel pins that all came out perfectly! These are just samples so they are like sketches just to gauge colors and if there's any error in the mold, and they do not have screen printing or metal plating etc. So they aren't perfect and that is ok! Know the final product will be glossy and beautiful!
These were the bakery babies that needed a few adjustments, but luckily all the of these adjustments are super fast and quick easy fixes. They are also so minor that they don't delay anything. I adjusted what you see, and because I know that'll make them perfect, they are going to start production immediately. So once they correct it, which they said two days from now, all pins will be in production!!! YIIPPEEE!!!!
The Lemon tart technically needs a new mold which is like $40, which haha is $40 I don't have. but my manufacturer is so cool, that they are like "don't worry you literally paid for everything else, we'll start production. just pay before we ship it :)" which is like SO COOL! Guh I love them! They are so nice and so quality.
Coffee Dragon enamel pins are available on Etsy!
I know quite a few of you guys have backed my previous projects, and that includes the Coffee Dragon campaign on kickstarter. If you are a backer for that campaign, there is an update here that you can see if you missed it! 💙✨More information about it is there.
hmmm the link isn't working? so hahah here! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/spectroliteaaa/cryptic-coffee-date-dragon-enamel-pins/posts/freeform/4643681/edit
But for now! The Coffee Dragons are totally available on Etsy!!!Click here to see them! or here https://www.etsy.com/shop/SpectroliteAAA I know a lot of you guys got coffee dragons as your add-ons, but still! thought I'd let yall know! :D Here's some of my favorite photos I took.
That kickstarter campaign is wrapping up finally, and there's a handful of orders I can't get out yet, but I put the proper inventory aside for both finishing those orders, the inventory of coffee dragons I need for the add-ons of this campaign, and inventory for Etsy. This is all the inventory I put aside with plenty of extra each for every design.
So thank you so much guys! I'll have another update about when the Dessert Bakery dragons are done baking!!! Thank you all so much! I love you all so dearly! Thank you all so much for the support.
Hi guys! I just wanted to make a quick update, sorry it's been a month since the last update... Well! All the pins are paid for an on their way for productions! The manufacturer said it would take about 20-30 business days to make, and with shipping and weekends it's projected to get here in about two months. From there I'll update you guys once they are finished, and they have shipped, and also again when they get here.
Thank you guys for being so patient with me. I want to be professional, and I don't want to blame my mental health for everything, but things truly have been so hard. Seriously thank you so much. For those that believe in me and know you'll get your pins, and stick around? Yall mean the world. Thank you.
My previous kickstarter ended, and during this time of recovery in my life, it successfully raised everything I needed to help this project move forward. The finances are still processing, but the moment I receive them into my bank account, I am buying all the labels to ship out your guys' rewards!
