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.
It's been a bit so I wanted to drop in and say HELLO and let you all know what I have been up to this last month.
Everything is running smoothly so far and the pins are currently in production where the final artwork was approved end of March. I am just waiting on samples right now, they are currently in the process of testing out the glow powders with the pins so I am really excited to see how that turns out!
Updated Moon Blossom Design!
For the "Moon Blossom" pin, I decided to remove the stars from the design, we were worried about how they would look sized down so I went with the safe route and took those out!
I should start seeing the sample photos start rolling in within the next couple of weeks which will probably be the next time you hear from me. I will also be traveling until May 16th visiting a friend in Belgium so I will be technically out of office but making sure this project runs smoothly while I am away is still a priority! I will be locking surveys & collect shipping on May 20th as well as sending out the invoices for the UK backers. The plan is the pins should be arriving in June so once I get back from my trip it will be time to get to work :)
That's it for now, the next update should be a lot more exciting 😅
It's been a sec since I've had an update, but I promise things are still moving behind the scenes!
I've been working away with communications with my manufacturers for the pins and working on making sure all of the colors are juust right with having some samples made before sending them in for full production. Due to a manufacturer holiday that I wasn't away of it did put the schedule a little behind where I hoped, but I don't think this will affect the pins making their ways to you later in the end as I still have some wiggle room with my dates!
While I dont have any fully finished samples yet to show, and unfortunately none of the main adventuring cast, I am excited to show off a progress wip I got of two of the collab pins! They're starting to get their colors! This is the start of colors being added before they get polished down and screenprint added. As soon as I get some photos of them at their next stages I'll put up another update!
I'm hoping to see some samples of some of the other pins soon, especially the characters so I can make sure that everything is golden before the mass production!
Meanwhile that is getting settled, I've gotten all of the stickers and sticker sheets ordered so those should be getting to me in the next week or two! I'll have PLENTY for the campaign set aside and then I'll be able to bring the rest to the conventions I've got coming up to also help show off wispwood goodies!
If you're attending conventions anytime this year you can see where I'll be HERE! I am always happy to see a friendly face!
I've also been working away on the backing cards! I've got an idea in mind that I can't quite seem to make just right, but we'll have 2 different backing cards,m one for the adventurers and one for the inventory sets so I can make sure they frame and compliment the pins well for display.
Locking Surveys & Charging Cards
And last but not least, surveys will lock next friday the 24th, and cards will be charged! All the counts from the surveys help me lock in my final numbers to order as well as get the additional funds from add-ons to cover any additional costs of production!
That should be all for now, but of course thank you again for adventuring in Wispwood with me, and I look forward to showing off more of the pins and rewards soon!
Quick update to let you all know that there was an issue with some of the surveys where if you chose to get an additional 2/3/4 pins, it would not ask which designs you wanted to choose for each. This issue should be fixed and will ask which designs you want after the add-on is added to cart.
Since I wasn't able to add images to the questions, here are the current options you can choose from for this add-on:
If you had issues with this, you should be able to edit your survey to add them now!
Please let me know if there are any additional survey issues when you come across them!
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!
