The smoke test survey went great, and I didn't encounter any major hiccups. So I'll be sending the surveys to everyone. Yippie!  So please check your inboxes for the surveys!
The e-mail should look like this:

If  you encounter any issues, please contact me: [email protected]. Or contact me through Backerkit.

For the pay over time backers; You will receive your surveys once the 4th installment is paid, or the amount is paid in full. I'll order extra's and also might reach out to you to confirm what you want to have. It depends a bit on the timeline.

Survey add-ons: In the survey you can add additional items to your pledge! This includes all campaign-pins, but also existing pin designs, stickers & prints. The Spring Tea & Seasonal Field guides are also available!  The Field Guides will be unlocked with 5 orders, we currently have already 4! from the smoke test, so I'm very confident that we will get there. In case we won't, I'll remove the add-on and you won't be charged for it.

I have also added some new stickers, based on my mushrooms and other existing artwork! These are 2" Washi Stickers, so perfect for journalling. 

February 26th: Surveys are send out!
Mid-March: Order is placed at the manufacturer.
May: Arrival of pins in the Netherlands
May: Charging cards for add-on and shipping
Mid May: Quality check & assembling
End of May: Shipping the US orders to LanternArcana for combined fullfilment
End of May: Receive shipment from LanternArcana for combined collab orders 
June-July: Fulfillment of all orders

I'm already in the process of placing an order and checking the artwork with the manufacturer. I just need the final counts from the surveys.  I'll be placing the order when 80% of you have filled in the surveys! So the sooner things are filled in, the sooner you get pins ;). 

US Tarrifs: I'll be keeping an eye on the whole tarrif situation. On your surveys there is currently tarrif added based on the base cost of the items - Thanks for LanternArcana we are able to do this. The cost won't be raised. The might get lowered or removed, depending on how the situation evolves. 

Fulfillment:  I'll be fulfilling all EU orders from me and LanternArcana, they will fullfil al US orders. 
Rest of world: I'll be fulfilling all my individual orders and all collabs. 

I think that's all for now! Thanks once again for your amazing support and keep an eye out for your survey. 

And now it's time for a forest hike ;).

Hi fellow wanderers,

I spent the last few days figuring all the survey back-end stuff, but it's ready! I think.
And that's where the smoke test comes in. I just send them out, the smoke tests goes to 5% of the backers and helps me test if I set everything up correctly.

Failed payments
There are still a few people with failed payment, you can update your payment method following this instruction. Backerkit will retry to charge the cards a final time this Thursday, after that you can still correct payment when the add-ons and shippings are charged. 

- Please fill in the survey! I need a good percentage of them to go be filled in, before I can send them to the other backers.
- Let me know if something is wrong or unclear! Typos, sentences, wrong shipping cost, wrong items, etc. Please let me know.

Rest of the surveys
Once I get enough feedback from the smoke test, I'll send out the rest as well. I hope to do this upcoming Thursday! To sooner I get the surveys back, the sooner I can place an order at my manu. 

I finished up the design of the field guides - I hope you like them! I decided these will also be 2", because of the tiny details and lettering. We need 5 orders to unlock the field guides. If you add the field guides and they DON'T get unlocked, I'll remove the add-on and you won't be charged for it. The spring tea cup is also part of the add-on section! 

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 campaign the an amazing end. Thank you who all pledged ALL-IN in the final hours <3. 

More fun! We unlocked the Spring tea cup, 2h before the campaign ended. And we are very close to unlocking the field guides! Both will be added to the add-on section of the survey, if you want to grab one. For the field guides I added a “stretch goal”, meaning we need 5 purchases to be able to unlock it. Since I didn’t think we would unlock the field guides, I still need to finalize the design. So I have some work to do ;)
 

- You are cards are being charged, some of you will already have charged cards, some not. This is a process and will take awhile. Some card charges might fail and you will have the time to rectify this.
- I’ll be setting up the surveys. Here you can pick all your rewards that you pledged for. There will also be de add-on store which let you purchase the tea cup, field guides and other already existing products.
- When about 80% off you have filled in the survey, I’ll do all the counts and place the order at the manufacturer. I’ll order a bit extra of course for b-grades and surveys that haven’t filled in yet.

Surveys go out at the end of February! Please fill them in ASAP, as I need that information to be able to place the order. 

Once again, thank you all for making this campaign happen. Results were behind imagination and I’m truly grateful.

Meanwhile I’m already full with ideas for more campaigns. And the next one is returning to my roots: Mushrooms! This campaign will be all about folklore, faeries and fungi. Check out a very early teaser page if you are interested!  

You’ll hear back from me once the surveys go out. Thank you all so much, once again. Very excited to gets these pins made! 

I'll keep this update short & sweet, since you already have gotten many polls from me now ;).
I enjoyed building the add-on together with you, but I hope it wasn't too much for you! I have attached to poll for the Holly-leaf and then we are done! But to give you all time to pick this add-on, I have made it available in the campaign already.

We are going into the final week of the campaign and let's keep this energy up. We still have two open stretch goals which would be amazing to unlock!
Thank you all for your energy and support to make this project a success!

We are half-way into the campaign, and it has been a ride! Fully funded from 2 day, unlocked free mushrooms for everyone and now well on our way to the next stretch goal! I wanted to share a few fun fact about this campaign so far and an update on the “A-year-in-mini’s” add-on. I’m going to add the field guides as a stretch goal as well. I made a new design, specially for this campaign!

I have opened to poll the acorn leaf. These are the winning designs for the flower and cherry’s. You can keep that in mind for when you pick the matching leaf ;). 
After you voted for the acorn leaf, I’ll open up the add-on. 

 

4300 - Spring tea cup. The pin will be 2” with pearl swirl on the white porcelain parts.
4600 - Season field guides. 1.75-2” pin. I’m still finalising the design. The text on the books will be finalised. I just wanted to give you a sneak peak. 

All colors of the cup, books, season pins and mini’s are matched. So they all fit together and will form a cohesive set. 

If you made it this far, thank you for reading. And let’s goo to unlock the final goals!
