Hello everyone! I have some project updates to share, along with production photos!
------------------------------
Pin Production:
I am pleased to be able say that we are still on track for an October delivery! Pin production with the new manufacturer is moving along well, with many pins awaiting only polishing, plating, and silkscreen. Kitsune pins were the first to go into production with this new manufacturer, and the entire Foxfire kitsune set, and the mini pins for Kitsune Blind are currently on their way to me now! I expect to recieve all of the finished pins by the end of September. Here are some production photos of the pins at different stages.
Note: the large Kitsune blind pin will have red markings. I put it in the finished section because it had some silkscreen components added. It will have the red swirl markings when you receive it!
Edit: By request, here's what I have for deluxe Phoenix fire. I do not yet have photos from the deluxe pin's production run. Notes: This was part of the sampling process and is not one of the final production pins! The sample's purpose was to approve enamel colors and the UV sparkling gradient effect. The size of this pin and the base enamel colors were approved and can be considered accurate. The sparkling gradient will have a transluscent fill i the final version. This pin has missing enamel and chips that will not be present in the final production run, and does not have the spot color silk screened burning feather tips and talon scales. ---------------------------------------------
Pledge Manager Lock:
Please note that your ability to change your order in the pledge manager is going to lock at the end of August 31. If you want to make any last minute changes or additions to your order, this is the last chance before fullfillment begins!
---------------------------------------------
Sticker Addons: By request, I have added the brushed metal stickers to the Pledge Manager. Please note: Everyone who backed the campaign will be getting one free sticker. Everyone who spent $30+ will be getting two free stickers. Everyone who spent $50+ will be getting all three stickers. These stickers are randomized, but if you already spent $50+, you are guaranteed to get one of each design. Please order the brushed metal stickers only if you want to guarantee a specific design or want doubles.
I also made 5" x 7" kiss-cut vinyl sticker sheets to take with me to conventions. These sticker sheets are now available as a final addon option before the pledge manager selection locks at the end of August.
---------------------------------------------
Upcoming Campaign: On September 7th, my next enamel pin campaign will launch. It will feature axolotl dragons and hognose amphitheres! Feel free to follow my campaign prelaunch page for updates!
Note: Herpetology dragons will not affect the delivery or timeline of Elemental Myth. All of the artwork and assets for Elemental Myth are complete, and all items are ordered and in-production. I'm simply waiting for manufacturing on Elemental Myth to conclude so that I can begin shipping!
