And it’s a wrap! Thank you so much <3
We went out with a bang! What a ride were the last few days. We had quite a few cancelled pledges coming in, but in the last hours you all really rallied and brought this cam...
Wiieee! Squee! We are funded and then some! Awesome stuff <3 Thank you all. So many of you have backed for 4+ pins/sets, it’s amazing. I feel truly grateful. To celebrate I added a new mini mushroom to the freebies mix.
When we reach 3750, all backers with 4+ Pins and or sets will geen the Green Mini mushroom! We only 200 off, so I feel this is pretty achievable :).
And for the followers of this project; 4h remaining on the early bird deals!
New Stretch goals
Now, sitting here for the next three weeks is kinda boring. So I wanted to add some extra stretch goals, for which I need your input. I truly didn’t think we would get this far, so I’m massively unprepared ;). However, I do have some sketches that you can vote on as additional pins. Keep in mind, sketches! Very much not final designs.
Field guides One? Or more nature related field guides. Concept: 1.5-1.75”, gold enamel like the rest of the pins. One design would unlock at 4K.
Spring time tea Tea is one of my favourite beverages and I love different teas during the year, matching the season. I don’t have sketches for the other seasons, so it’s just spring tea for now. Concept: 1.75”-2” pin, pearl swirl on the white porcelain. Unlocks at 4K.
Majestic tree Because gnarly trees are the best. This sketch is still very rough. I want to play with some border decorations and gradient background. Concept: 1.75-2”, UV printed gradient background, gold enamel. Unlocks at 4K. Green Mushroom for everyone The current goal is to a free pin for everyone that backed 4+ pins or pin sets. At 4K everyone would get a free green mini pin. Mini pins are all 0.75” You can vote below what your favourite option is! Also feel free to comment which field guides appeals the most to you or if there is something else you would like to see.
I want to write to you a short update about the project status.
First; The surveys from the pay over time backers are out! I kindly request to fill these out asap so I can continue with fulfilment.
Second; Fulfilment has started.
Partner collab orders US: They have arrived at Lantern Arcana and they have been shipping them out in batches. Partner collab orders EU/World: Lantern Arcana has packaged everything and the parcel is on its way to me. I expect it to arrive in 1-2weeks.
Individual orders EU/World: Have been shipped Individual orders US 7 pre-orders: Have been packed & waiting for POT surveys so they can be shipped.
So slow but steady and right on schedule :). Please fill in the POT surveys - so all US bound parcels can be shipped out.
Third and last; Fungi & Faeries is launching in 3 weeks! I have been working hard on all designs and I’m excited to expand my mushroom collection. There wil be a group pin and a returning backer pin. So join us in the magical realm of mushrooms.
I hope Spring is around the corner for you as well, and that it gives you new energy to do the things you want to do! I have a fun update - the pins have arrived! But first business.
Charging cards
We are a bit in front of schedule, since I planned for the pins to arrive May and also charge the cards in May. But since the pins have already arrived, I want to start fulfillment asap. And thus I'll have to charge the cards already. This is also the time to check your addresses! You are responsible up to date credit card and address information, without those I can't fulfill your order.
How is fulfillment going to go?
I'm going to do everything in batches. Majority of the orders are going to the United States, for some of the EU/World orders I need to wait for the pins of LanternArcana to arrive as well.
Currently the collab orders have priority, due to scheduling reasons on the side of my partner. So those will be shipped out first. The rest of the US orders will be shipped when all POT surveys are in as well.
1) Shipping out the US Collab-orders to LanternArcana. - April & May 2) Shipping out the remainder US orders. This includes the POT collab orders as well! - June & July 3) Shipping out the EU & World orders - May - July
Now the fun stuff! Pictures!
I'm very happy with how they all came out! The mini's are super cute. And the colours are overall great. Also very excited to make more teacups! The stickers have arrived as well, and the backing cards will come in this week. So I have work to do. Very excited to get these to you!
Spring is upon us and while life has been busy, things have been moving along smoothly behind the scenes. I have placed the order and everything is in production! Majority of the surveys have been answered and we unlocked the field guides! So thank you for that <3. This is going to be a long update with Production, Stickers and next project announcement. So grab a cup of flower tea and take a comfortable seat.
Fun facts:
Spring was the most popular design during the launch phase, but it got the least orders together with summer.
But the summer sticker was the most popular!
Winter pin was the most popular design, but the least favorite sticker
Flower & Leaf sets were the most popular mini's!
In total 463 pins were sold, to 10 different countries.
Pre-order store is open!
For those that have missed the campaign - the pre-order store is open now. Besides the pins from the campaign, there is the spring tea cup and the field guides that can be bought. Plus merchandise from previous projects. Hop on over!
Production Pictures & Stickers
I always love seeing production pictures! I ordered the washi stickers which came in already. They look cute and the colours came out really well. The pins are in production. Which always look so nice to see them all together. I also received the samples for the spring tea cup with the pearl swirl effect. Note these are unfinished! Everything still needs to be polished and plated.

Next Project: Fungi & Faeries
With spring being upon us, the energy of the new years starts flowing. And with new energy, new creative ideas emerges. For my next project I'll be returning to my roots and expand my collection of mushrooms & fungi. This project will center around mushrooms and its folklore. I have been gathering stories surrounding mushrooms, fairies, witches and what not! It's going to be a fun project. Did you know that the Trumpet of the Dead is said to be used to play music by the spirits of those that have passed? And especially around Halloween?
