Pin Updates - Surveys are locked and cards will be charged for add-ons!
Hello lovely friends! It's been a bit since an update but I wanted to wait till I had a bit more to talk about before crowding up your notifications again.
Pins are still in production at the moment while I work with the manufacturer to make sure the pins turn out exactly as we expect them to. There are some adjustments that might need to be made to make sure the areas that would be cut out between the metal are large enough to ensure structure and detail so some designs might be ever so slightly changed to allow for it, but we're still sorting that out! Of course if any design changes more then tiny tweaks like that I'll be sure to let you know!
These molds are what the pins look like before they add in all the coloring and plating, but I love seeing all the steps of pin creation and wanted to share them with you!
Since pins are deep in the stages of production now, surveys are locked, and your cards will be charged soon for the add-ons and shipping! I've got lots of packing materials to make sure I've got in hand for when I need to get these shipping out!
As mentioned in the last update we are a bit behind schedule due to me having spent a decent amount of time sick with a small hospital stay, and some files had to be remade on my end due to a hard drive dying and corrupting files. We luckily aren't too behind though as I always try to plan for a bit of buffer time anyway!
So instead of the pins arriving to me this month and going out to you next month, we'll be looking at pins arriving to me next month and pins going from me to you starting late next month and into December! For the few of you that only got stickers, your orders will go out soon as I have them on hand now! I've order plenty of stickers so if you see me at any of my events over the next few weeks, you might see me with the stickers for these guys too!
All stickers are printed on a matte weatherproof, fade-resistant vinyl.
Aside from the pins, I have all the pin banners and stickers on hand now, so when the pins arrive it should be quick and easy to get them checked and sent to their homes!
That should be it for now though! As always thank you for your support in me and my little projects, and I hope you have had a wonderful month so far and have a lovely treat filled spooky season! <3
All surveys have been sent out! The sooner you fill out your surveys the sooner I know the final numbers for ordering pins!
There was a slight delay in getting the rest of the surveys out due to finding a bug that was duplicating some rewards in the first batch of surveys. This issue should be now fixed by the lovely backerkit team, but if you see anything out of place with your final pins please reach out!
I'll be getting the stickers ordered soon so I can send out any sticker only orders asap, prepack full sticker bundles so they can be tucked into orders easier, and also have some leftover for some more upcoming events, so as soon as those come in I'll be back with pictures!
I hope you all have a lovely rest of the week and thank you again for your support! <3
it's been a minute but we're onto the surveys finally!
Smoke tests for surveys have gone out! What this means is that a small handful of backers have received their surveys to pick their pins, add any add-ons, and double check that they are getting the lovely freebies they qualify for! Once I confirm that these are all in working order with the those that received the first batch, the rest will be sent out!
All the art for the sticker versions have been finished to make sure you could fully see what you were getting before picking you stickers or adding any on!
The Kelpie is definitely my favorite sticker out of the set!
Why was the survey later then expected? I am all about transparency so I want to be upfront and honest to the causes of why this went out later then I had hoped! Firstly is I got really sick in the end of June/early July. Had a severe infection that had me hospitalized for a couple days and while I got out of the hospital feel better it was still a wild road of recovery constantly dealing with vertigo, nausea, headaches... all the fun stuff that comes from such a bad infection! I ended up sleeping and resting a lot! It made finishing the sticker designs a slower then I hoped. Secondly... my hard drive that holds all my files? Broke. I was able to recover most of my files luckily, but some of the sticker files wouldn't open so I had to step back and redo some of the work. It's been done and I'm caught back up with all the files, but! setbacks are still setbacks and all.
I'm hoping to have some of the samples of the pins soon so I can work on confirming the colors on the physical versions while I wait for final counts on the surveys! Of course as soon as I have those samples in I'll show them off!
I'm looking forward to seeing which of the mythical critters you're looking forward to the most, and I'll be back with another update once the rest of the surveys have been sent out!
In the last update I asked if there would be interest in adding stickers of all the designs and it felt like a universal yes, so stickers have been added! I'm still working on finalizing some of the sticker designs as I like to add all the extra shading and details I cant do with pins, but they are now available as single stickers, a small sticker pack, or a pack of all 15 stickers! All stickers will be around 3 inches in size on high quality vinyl for that extra weather resistance!
Bottled Fey Sets have also been added as an add-on! If you didn't get the early bird reward you can get the set of bottled fey pins or roll the die on a single mystery one. If you got the early bird mystery fey pin and want the set, you'll be able to add the additional 2 pins from the survey when that goes out.
I'm currently packing for heading to Anthrocon this weekend(come say hi if you'll be there!), so communications might get a little spotty this weekend, but that doesnt mean I'm not still working on the pin prep! These last few days have been bouncing between packing for con, packing orders from my last campaign Wispwood, and prepping files so that way when I get final totals from the surveys I can Working away on files so they are ready for production as soon as I can, as well as getting things prepped for the survey to pick your pins!
And last but not least, something I dont feel should go unmentioned, we have OVER 500 backers! That's more then I could have ever expected and such an amazing number and milestone. I am so incredibly honored to have the sheer amount of support in this little pin project! Which pins are you most excited for? I'm personally looking forward to getting a full set on the map banner on my wall!
Hello again lovely friends! The votes are in and the community vote for the 10th pin is the wolpertinger! It was really close there for a bit between wolpertinger, jackalope, and hell hound so I'll have to put the other two on the top of my list for more mini mythology pins down the line!
This is the 10th and final pin for this campaign and I'm stoked we get to make ALL of them! I'll admit the temptation to make more designs is there, but I'm hoping to keep this one a bit more manageable for me, but it just means I have more to look forward to!
I am open to making stickers of all of the critters though if that's something y'all would be interested in? Let me know!
I'm a little later then I planned on posting this due to an unfortunate health crisis that had me hospitalized, but I'm back home and resting, and ready to see what creature we're adding to the line-up!
I've added every suggested creature from the last news post to the poll, so it's definitely a lot, but important! There's so many cool beasties we could do, and it's a perfect list for me to pull from later as I'd love to add more to the mini mythology pin set in more batches!
Poll will end in two days, so don't dwell too long to get your opinions in!
