Wow today has been fantastic and thanks for supporting not only my art, but the other makers in the pin kid's collab project.

We have unlocked so many levels. I only have a few things left to unlock, so chances are pretty good that the entire project and all extras will be unlocked soon. Make sure to fill out the polls to choose the pin design for the unlocked voters choice pin.

That being said, I wanted to make sure you all saw the insane freebies we are all giving away.  Early Bird only lasts for another day, so make sure to get those rewards fast.
 You can get one single pin from each collab project and all of this could be yours! Check the PIN KIDS collab page for more info HERE.

Hello! so I got a whole bunch of items in the mail super early! They were due to begin arriving early March. But most of the items are now arriving!
There are 2-3 items that aren't here yet... and one items that came with a big mistake, so it will be remade.  SCROLL DOWN to see all of my update images. I think you'll be excited!!

Also- Just a reminder, today is the last day of pintopia and I had a project there. The World Is Trash. And I just unlocked another freebie for backers. So please please please support my project. 


So here are some images of the pins we got the other day. It takes a while to QC them all and count them and sort them. So not sure when we will begin packing orders. If you need to change your address please let me know via email. [email protected] Im scheduled to pay the orders in April, but looks like we should be able to get a portion of these packed and shipped much sooner! 

And here's the mistake one that's getting remade:

The cats eyes are supposed to be yellow. And while I dont think it looks bad grey... It just doesn't have the same oomph that the other pins have. So these will be remade in March. We are scheduled to ship orders in April...  and Anyone who ordered the cat will probably be at the end of the time window. If you'd rather get your order sooner and you dont care that the eyes are grey you can email me [email protected] and let me know and I'll ship this grey eyed cat and you won't have to wait. But I'll post again when It's closer to shipping time!! 

This update is being sent to all followers of Sunset Road.

Pins are nearing completion! I received some news from my other manufacturer about the remaining pins. The window and lantern pins are all done, and the snowglobe style shaker pins are almost done. They have to fix the acrylic on some of them, so they will remake those pins after their well-deserved holiday for the Lunar New Year. Both of my manufacturers are perfectionists, so they are taking their time making sure each pin is up to their standard for quality. But here is a picture of the shaker pins!

I can't wait to see them in person. For further pin picture updates, follow me on Instagram @sunsetroadco where I update way more frequently so I don't overwhelm you all on Backerkit. We're still on track to ship out this campaign towards the end of March hopefully. I didn't want to rush these pins because of how complicated they are with the enamel, acrylic, and liquid components so I told my manufacturer to take her time making sure they are completely correct.

We are in the last 2 days of our current Pintopia campaign, Books & Banter! I've already started proofing designs with one of my manufacturers so I can get pins ordered ASAP. Make sure to get your pledges in before it ends as I won't be ordering too many extras! Here's a proof for two of the book designs:

I have another campaign on the horizon, a continuation of my Village series called Autumn Villages! Launching March 29th, this campaign will once again offer two variants of our build-you-own enamel pin village: Cozy Autumn and Spooky Fall. We'll also have a bunch of smaller "accessory" pins ranging from .75" to 1.25" to accessorize your pin village. Follow along early to receive a free pin for pre-launch followers, and ANOTHER free pin for early bird backers!

Okay that was a lot! Thanks so much for sticking through to the end.  TLDR; lots of updates and fun pins in production and on the horizon!

XO,
Nikki
