Project Update: 80% of Surveys complete: Production Begins!
80% of Surveys are complete which means the counts are in and production can begin! I have already ordered the stickers for the campaign, some have completed production and some are still in process but once I have all of them in hand I will share them in an update. The enamel pins are beginning production this week, and as production progresses, I will be posting those photos here in updates as well.
IMPORTANT DATES:
05/24 Backerkit Orders LOCK & Cards Charged
05/31 - Preorder Store CLOSES
Thank you once again for your support of this project, and have a great weekend!

Project Update: Smoke Test Complete, Surveys Sent!
Please note that paypal will not be accepted as a payment option due to the preorder nature of the items. This feature was changed with information from the backerkit team, and paypal may have negative effects for some features as well as my own shop. So for that reason it was removed as a payment option.
Any designs with multiple variants will now have a dropdown to select which variant you would like to choose. Today is May 4 so any Pintopia items should already be in your cart when you complete your survey from the backerkit team.
Here is a link to the preorder store if you are sharing it!
Thank you again for your support of this project, please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

Project Update: Production Begins! +Smoke Test Surveys Sent!
Thank you once again everyone for your support of this project, as well as your patience with me as I run my first backerkit campaign. I have already put the stickers into production, though I will of course order more if needed for fulfillment. Pins will be going into production once 80% of surveys have responses so please keep an eye out for those!
Smoke Test surveys have been sent out to a handful of backers to make sure there are no format issues or errors. Once these smoke test surveys are complete, all surveys will be sent out and I will post another update when that time comes. You'll notice in your surveys that there are additional color options for Schrodinger's Cat and that's because I will be producing BOTH the Fierce and Focused variants in Silver, Rainbow, and Black metal finishes.
I am hoping the first smoke test round of surveys will only take about a week so we may get all surveys out as soon as possible. Also, if you know of anyone who may have missed out on the campaign, the Preorder Store is now open!
Hope you are having a Lei Day filled with Aloha,

Project Update: Smoky & Robot Design Drop! Next stretch goal poll???
I have updated the campaign with the artwork for Smoky & Robot in the stretch goal section, as well as in the artwork of their matching stickers and on the reward tiers. Here are their designs:
Now that it's Monday and we're nearing the final 72 hours of the campaign, I am going to open up the poll for the last stretch goal! We are only $400 away and I am confident we will get there but I still want to provide some time for everyone to vote on these last couple of designs.
The final poll is now available HERE, get those votes in as this poll will only be open for 24 hours!
Thank you so much again for your support of this project,

Project Update: New designs
I want them to be the best they can be, so I am going to take a couple of extra days to get them just right. Delivering past a deadline really bothers me, so I do apologize. We are even quickly approaching the next stretch goal! It would be amazing to finish this campaign with 15 designs so I hope we get it in those last 6 days!
I will be posting Robot & Smoky on MONDAY, April 15 and once they are up I will post an update here as well!
Thank you once again for all your support,

Project Update: Next stretch goal poll is now LIVE!
New additions to this poll are Robot, who discovered the Lascaux Cave & Smoky who was the first therapy dog. As before, the poll will be open until Thursday with the winning designs available to pledge for on Friday 4/12 as either individual or duo pledges or add-ons.
Thank you again for your support!

Project Update: And the winner is...
Atomic Pixies and I collaborated on these designs, they are now available as a discounted set pledge level and/or add-on set!
Next stretch goal unlocks at $4000 and the campaign is already so close. That goal will also be chosen via poll, so please continue to share your favorite fuzzy science icons with me! I am having so much fun drawing and learning about them.
