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.
💌 Surveys are coming! The surveys have been approved for the Smoke Test, so you will all receive them shortly after it is cleared.
For those of you who placed Pre-Orders, your $3 credit has already been applied to your total payment, so it will be deducted from your shipping or final purchase total if you add more goodies.
If you have any questions, you can always reach me through email: [email protected]
Have a great weekend, and thank you for your support 🥰 -Jen
Sorry it's been a bit since an update, I kept wanting to wait till I had enough things to share for an update but things have been a bit hectic in my life!
I'm happy to share that surveys will be going out soon! My hope is by the end of next week to have all of the surveys out. I've finally finished most of the visuals for all of the separated pin sections, what they'll look like as their little sets, as well as the individual characters. Since there are SO many pin options this round I want to make sure that it's as clear as possible when picking your options so there's no mistakes and no one accidentally ends up with the wrong pin set.
And of course an update on Vesper! I've been playing with the design off and on and finally nailed it down!
I felt that if she was catching a star it should be a shooting star! I'm still needing to finalize the colors on the mini pins but I will absolutely have those done before surveys go out!
And some samples have been ordered! I want to test the glow effects of some pins as well as make sure the colors are right before sending in the full order. As soon as I get those samples I'll be sure to share an update with photos and more on the process!
Everything is still running on schedule, but I want to be completely transparent that I have some life situations that might slow me down a little. If you follow me anywhere on social media or see me at cons, you've probably heard about my cat Kirby. Unfortunately his health has always been rocky, and it's gotten to the point where saying goodbye to him soon is what's best for him so he doesn't have to suffer. It's a really hard place for me to be, and while I'm doing my very best to keep up with everything, it might slow me down a little. At this time I don't expect any delays, but If that changes I'll be sure to post and update and let you all know right away.
Thanks again for your faith in this project and your love for my creations! I am so greatly looking forward to seeing the surveys to see which ones are the most popular! Expect to see those surveys soon! <3
Hello everyone! I’m so sorry about going MIA whilst I was getting ready for a convention! Good news is that I am back and the surveys are almost ready to be sent out!
The plushies are in their pre-production sample phase and are currently being revised until I’m 100% happy with them! The enamel pins will be going into production soon! The pre-order shop is also now open!
Thank you all so much for your patience whilst I get all of this sorted!
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone here who pledged for a plushie and who took the time to engage and share the project, your support truly means the absolute world to me! So, near the end of the Backerkit I adjusted the unlock goals a little so that we could try and unlock more plushies, this however was a dumb decision since we had some failed charges and I now don't have the funds needed to order all 4 plushies 🥺
Regardless of this, we didn't unlock Redd Panda or our Mystery plush in this campaign. So, I thought perhaps it would be a good idea to take my campaign over to Kickstarter to see if we can unlock the full collection!! I just want to know how you all think about that and if you'd like that to go ahead.
This would mean: It would delay production slightly. I am putting the first 3 designs into production now with the money we raised here, but it will then delay shipment a bit since the next 3 designs will be produced after, delaying the full shipment until they are all made.
But it would mean that!: All 6 designs would be unlocked, and everyone here would be able to receive any of the plushies now instead of only the first three. The people who pledged for the full set will get it! And it means that people who wanted to Pick their plushie will be able to do so <3
You would NOT have to pledge again over on Kickstarter to receive the other plushies that didn't get unlocked here. Once it unlocks, it will be available for EVERYBODY across both platforms to receive!
