Just a super quick update: I finally got the last remakes today and they're great! I can start shipping again and they should FINALLY be all fulfilled by end of this month. Some of you still pending are combined with fulfillable paw pledges so I've been gradually tackling those and refunding the excess shipping charge as I do.
Since I have to hop into overdrive on this I don't think I'll have my shop reopened at all before Tekko but that's okay.
Wondering where your pledges are? Look no further!
Χβ°ββ€ I recieved the Rainbowtail remakes a couple days ago and have shipped out 80% of packages! Χβ°ββ€ The other 20% are in progress and will be fully sent out by next Friday (the 15th)!
Here's some photos of the chaos that was the order packing process lmao.
With that said- some of you are already recieving your pledges and I'm happy to hear it! For anyone who wants to share photos, I recently revamped my discord to have a channel for reviews!!
Inside my discord is not only a reviews channel BUT there are:
Χβ°ββ€ Free monthly 10% off Etsy coupons Χβ°ββ€ Sneak peeks into upcoming merch Χβ°ββ€First look into my next crowdfunding campaigns Χβ°ββ€Early dibs on new merch going up on Etsy!
and much more! I look forward to seeing you there!!
If you haven't checked it out yet, now's your chance! Returning backers receive a free exclusive sticker, we're EXTREMELY close to the free enamel pins that unlock at $5,000 pledged, and we're close to unlocking some other freebies!
Some designs are still currently in the process of being finalized- but the general gist of how they're going to look are currently available! I just posted the final designs for Moonpaw, Tawnypelt, and Leafstar a little bit ago, so here's a sneak peek!
I am still going super strong for this campaign- yes we've dropped some backers but I KNOW we will unlock those locked stretch goals again and push to get EVERYTHING unlocked!
Also- here's a sneak peek of Scourge's design :>
Thank you guys so much in advance! Please reach out to me with any questions, comments or concerns here or in my discord!
We're excited to announce that all of the Phoenix pins have arrived! We will be beginning fulfillment over the next week or so as we'll be going through the batch of pins and making sure we only send out the very best.
All the Phoenixes hanging out in the library before heading to you!
Overall, we're happy with the production of the pins, but our manufacturer did have some trouble getting the blue glass ring around the miniature pin due to the sizing. It still came out super cute though!
We're waiting on one more piece before we start shipping, but that should arrive in the next day or two. We found some pretty fun colored bubble mailers, so expect your Phoenix to arrive in style.
Also, if you haven't had the chance to check it out, we'll be running another campaign during Pintopia 2025. We have a few fun cross-collabs during Pintopia, so if you'd like to get even more Phoenixes (and Cecil!) check it out!
First of all, holy smokes! You guys blew this out of the water. Iβve already gotten sappy enough in past updates but thank you all so much! You have no idea how much I appreciate the support.
So now what? You have 2 weeks to fix any failed payment methods or issues! After that the surveys will go out! Surveys will close on December 1st. The survey will give you the option to let me know if you want to be charged immediately or when the survey closes. As I know a few people on my last survey wanted to be charged immediately for budget reasons and others wanted to wait until the survey closed to get paid!
After that the pins will go into production! I will be out of town for most of the survey. But Iβll still do my best to respond to emails ([email protected])! Please note, I donβt always see/get notifications for comments left on the page. The fastest way to reach me is on discord. https://discord.gg/rPPf4NUejw
As for where Iβll be? Twin cities con, Anime Dallas, Anime Frontier, and Anime Weekend Atlanta! If you end up at one of those cons come say hi to me! And preemptive apologies if I look tired or out of it. My autoimmune makes conventions a little exhausting but I love to meet yall and itβs always so exciting when someone tells me they follow me on socials/kickstarter. Gives me a bit of imposter syndrome too lol.
Itβs hard to predict when the pins will be done as thereβs several holidays between now and next year, however I tried to plan accordingly in the original timeline. So keep an eye out for that!
As of now, everything should be shipped out and basically complete! There are still some international orders in transit but otherwise, all orders are fulfilled!
If you haven't received your order at all or there are issues with it, please let me know: [email protected]
I just wanted to pop in and let everyone know all orders should be fulfilled this month! I have finally hit the point where I have to acknowledge I need help lol! Iβm bringing on KatzeKreations and RexusIllustrations to help me with the 533 orders I have between this campaign and Adventure buddies to hopefully knock both of them out this month! Go give them some love for me because Iβm so hugely appreciative of their help!
Iβll post another update once weβve gotten through all the forgotten forest orders!
Also! Media Monsters just went live and is already fully funded! This will be my last campaign (probably) for a while until Forgotten Forest: Endangered Species shows up for Pintober this year!
All the pins have arrived and we will begin sleeving this week. Here are some photos to hold you over until we get them shipping. Look for an update in 2 weeks or less that these are heading out!
Sorry for the delay in updates. Not a whole lot new to report, as the tariff situation is still very volatile, but we expect to have at least a few more of the designs in the mail to us before the end of summer.
After the last update, our project manager spent 3 weeks sick in bed while managing the project for the tarot deck itself (we were funding the remaining card art), followed by recovering just in time to spend a week out of town for Kublacon [which fell on their birthday as well! 45 years!] (and where we saw at least one of you lovely backers in person when you stopped by our table!). After returning home from that, they have had a series of medical appointment follow-ups with their specialists only to learn they need three surgeries this year! Deviated septum (ENT specialist was waiting for their lungs to recover enough to withstand surgery), optic nerve lesion/pit in the left eye (they'll share the imaging from the optometrist below; it's actually on both eye nerves but is currently only dramatically affecting the left eye), and surgery on their left hip (avascular necrosis of femoral head alongside arthritis).
They are home for now, but over the next few weeks will be getting all those surgeries scheduled, so we don't know exact timings on some things until those are on the calendar to plan around. Will try to update monthly as we move forward, as much as health allows us to remember, so don't be afraid to poke in the comments to ask for updates - the reminders are appreciated, given the state of ... well ... *waves hands around* everything.
Here's the eye scans from last week's appointment. left vs right, and last year vs this. You can see the layer separation happening, it's kind of crazy!
The stickers have arrived and the new pins are on the way soon! I get my vinyl stickers made from a fellow artist, so it took a minute to get my stickers finished in their queue of orders. But they are here and looking great! π It's been a little overcast today, but take a look!
I'm starting to organize all orders this week, and I've already applied the Muerte & Magic pins on their backing cards last month when I was waiting for the stickers to arrive! :)

When the sunlight is on these they look beautiful! :)
Shipping will slowly start with the orders that don't include the new Rebirth & Ruin pins. After the new pins arrive I'll start shipping those last few orders.
Here's some of the new Rebirth & Ruin pins that my manufacturer is shipping soon~
Firefly glow in the dark pins- day
Firefly glow in the dark pins- night
By my rough estimate, I'll be wrapping up this campaign soon here in the next 2-3 weeks depending on when the new Rebirth & Ruin pins arrive. If you missed the chance to grab my latest pins above, you'll still have an opportunity to grab them below:
Returning backers will receive a free Cerberus vinyl sticker~
UV/Waterproof to put on your car! π€πΌ
β‘οΈ Follow the teaser page here, and all pre-launch followers will receive the free red skull key sticker below~ Follow to get reminders when Early Bird slots open, you'll also earn an extra holographic skull key sticker!
Feel free to share the new campaign with your friends and family, link again is here below~
