Hello Everyone!

Order Update:
I've gotten more than half of all orders out, less than 100 remain!

Timeline Extended:
Due to time and a lot of unexpected setbacks, I'm extending the expected shipping period by one month. The time waiting for reorders and delays for restocking of materials dragged on during the production timeline more than expected, plus the holidays this year were a lot more chaotic than usual due to the terminal illness of a close family member. I've been taking much more time away from the studio to be with them. I even take things to work on while I visit with them, such as pinboards to paint (Or pet commissions to from my Dearly Departed Series) just to ensure some sort of progress is made on my projects.

While I intend to get everything sent by the end of February (Depending on when the dragon reorders come in), I just want to keep things transparent, and the extra time would relieve a lot of worry for me.

Pinboards:
The pinboards look amazing, but they are definitely taking much longer than I origionally expected, both due to the sheer amount of time (Each takes me about 3 hours to make, between cutting, assembling, priming, painting, and top coating with about 4 days total between steps for curing/drying). I don't want to rush them in any sort of way. 

All Pinboards have been cut, assembled, and sanded! I'm just now painting them each, with a few getting their top coats this weekend :)

Hello Everyone!

It's been a while, and a lot has been happening. Between some unexpected things in my life and the holidays it's been so busy.

But that being said! Some important updates!

117 Orders have been shipped out! That's 46% of orders ready to go! There are still several orders without completed surveys, or with failed payments, so please get those in order as soon as you can!

I have all the materials, and these are being made to order this weekend!

There was a mold error with the pins, those of you who ordered them have details about that, so please reply with your choice of resolutions. Thank you!

A. Exchange the Year of the Dragon Pin, for a different pin in your order.

B. Accept the errored pin, there is nothing wrong with it aside from the visual mistake.

C. Wait for the new dragons to arrive and get your order at once.

D. Ship your order now (If you have custom items, those are still being made), and ship the dragon pin at a later date once it arrives.

I finally have the graphics of the shirts; there were some misunderstandings with the graphic prints that have since been resolved. So I'll be pressing shirts this weekend!

All Pinboard Mock-ups have been send or are awaiting you to email me your colorations! If you have not checked over the proof, please do so soon, as I can not start on your board until I get your approvals. Full production on pinboards officially starts this weekend! If you do not have the proof, or need it resent please email me at: [email protected]!

Hello Everyone!

I haven't said much because there hasn't been much to say. And I'm not someone who really likes to comment when we don't have comments to make. But it's official! I have the pins and all the manufactured items in hand! I just need to grade them and check for flaws, and then they'll be starting fulfillment soon. Due to the upcoming holidays, my goal is to get around 30-50 orders out a week.

Those of you who have custom items, I'm still waiting on a few items for those as some materials have been on back-order, and they just got them in stock. With my materials, I try to buy from other small businesses as much as possible rather than big box stores like Amazon, so the availability of some materials can be unstable in these trying times.

But all in all, we are way ahead of the timeline!

Hello Everyone, it's been such a long road, but I finally finished surveys! So they should be coming to you soon, or some of you may already have them!

After speaking to my manufacturer, the lanyards will have to be 2cm wide, not the 2.5cm, This is a small adjustment as I prefer the look and durability of the leather sewn ends, which I did not realize was not available in the larger size. If you have this as an add-on and want a credit instead, please reach out to me ASAP. Overall, this is just a width issue and has no other issues or effects on the item. Thank you.

Smoke surveys are currently live, and then be released to everyone entirely a day or so later. Smoke surveys are a small percentage of surveys sent out to ensure no major issues before wide release. 

The cut-off for surveys will be August 1st! However, completing it sooner helps me make sure I have enough of everything ordered, as well as not having to worry that you might forget about it.

What If I Don't Complete The Survey In Time?
Late surveys run the risk of having a smaller pool of items to pick from because I need to know the quantities to order. So, failing to complete the survey in time may result in not getting the exact items that you want.

This is to pay for postage at that point. All rewards are shipped with tracking, so you'll receive your tracking information from Pirateship or whatever shipping platform I use. Additionally, you will be charged for any add-ons you have selected! :)

Yes, during the survey, you will have the option to add more items.

Thank you so much!

Hello All,

I am still working on the surveys. Particularly, trying to finish the art on the bookmarks, this has taken me a bit longer than anticipated but I am working to get it finished as soon as possible. Thank you for understanding :)

I will send another update when smoke tests go out, and full surveys will come out the following days as long as no major issues are reported. Thank you.
