Today's update is mostly just a reminder to please fill out your surveys I'm afraid! I'm still missing x30 and as I'm ordering add-ons this week I'd really like to get them in ASAP. 🙏
Aaaand I've also decided to join Beasts & Botanicalswith a small addendum to Warped Ocean, launching in April! (I couldn't resist an excuse to draw more eye-covered sea creatures lol) :D
I'll be drawing up a small number of pins from sketches I didn't get to use for the Pintopia project; a Sunfish, Turtle, and Manta Ray. There are some very rough sketches in the banner for now. Warped Ocean 1.2 (part of Beasts & Botanicals), launching in April:
I hope you like the new pins! (I am doing a slightly crazy number of campaigns this year lol, I love making pins so much!) All the best,

I collaborated with PhaseMoth for last Pintopia too. On that occassion I ordered and fulfilled the matching mini pins we designed, so everyone got both their freebies in my orders.
This time around it's PhaseMoth's turn to do the same, so rather than appearing in my surveys both pins will be fulfilled through their campaign.
I hope this clears up any worries about not receiving your Kraken pin sets! :D
If you have any more questions about fulfillment you can comment below or submit a request.
I approved the final proofs of the pins today! :D The only change we've made is that the Mandarinfish will now be 2.5" instead of 2", to better show off the details and make sure nothing more needs to be edited.
The patch-backing poll has ended in favour of iron-on backing so I'll be going with that, in hopes that it shouldn't be too hard to reinforce with stitches as needed but will be easier to initially affix.
Now the changes have been finalised I've made the pre-order shop live, for any of you who were waiting to buy post-campaign!
I've also sent out the 'smoke test' surveys, so a few of you should have surveys in your inboxes now! If no issues arise from that I'll send out the rest of the surveys to everyone on Tuesday or Wednesday next week. :D
Thanks folks! I'm so excited to see the pins irl! I'll keep you updated on progress. All the best,
I'm doing a quick update today as I've had a few questions about the Surveys and Preorder store.
I've been holding off on launching both for an extra few days as I'm still working out the best way to produce the Oarfish, Octopus and Mandarinfish pins (I may still need to increase the size of those designs and I want to make sure the Survey and Preorder Store have the accurate information on them all).
As soon as I've got that sorted I'll launch both, which I'm hoping will be by Monday at the latest.
In the meantime I'd love your feedback on the embroidered patch: which backing do you prefer for your patches; sew-on or iron-on? I've attached a poll below so you can vote on it! :D
Here's another look at the most recent sample of the patch:
I'll keep you all up to date on production! All the best,
What backing would you prefer: Iron-on (easier to apply but will be stiffer and if you want to reinforce it with sewing it's harder to pierce), or Sew-on (more time to apply but maintains more flexibility).
