Production Update and Pin Preview
Hello again everyone!
I have a relatively quick update on production and fulfillment times, plus some in-progress photos from the pin manufacturer:
THERE ARE STILL UNANSWE...
As of now, all orders have been packed! Most of them have also been dropped off at the post office, but the last 12 will be dropped off on Monday~ All domestic (US) orders should all have received a shipping notification with a tracking number. International orders will also have a tracking numbers, though these will be found in the order notes section of your pledge instead.
There were some issues with a couple of orders which I had to ship outside of BackerKit's fulfillment program, so if you got a notification that your order shipped but with no tracking number, please check out your order on the BackerKit website- I made sure to put the tracking number there in the notes section :)
Missed anything from the campaign? I'm including a Backer Exclusive discount code at the end of this update! You'll have to log in to see it, but this code is good for 20% off any order over $10, and is valid thru the end of August (8/31)! Everything from this campaign, including mystery b-grade bags and a few left over cross-colab keychain pairs will be available!
Questions? Please let me know! And thank you everyone for such a wonderful (and successful) campaign this year! Remember to follow me here and on Bluesky, Instagram, and TikTok for updates on future projects, merch, and special sales :)
The colab keychains are finally here and they are so cute!
This means- shipping resumes!
I have already been getting some of the outstanding orders ready to ship, so now I have a bunch that just need the colab keychain slipped in and then they'll be off to their new homes! I hope to have as many orders shipped as I can in the next few days, but I will be out of town to visit family this weekend so I need to ask you for just a little more patience while I work through these :)
All domestic orders can expect a shipping notification and tracking number in the next week or two while I finish packing your rewards, and international backers can request a tracking number from me directly, as I will be sending your orders separately through a different carrier.
As a reminder, if your order qualifies for the cross-colab bonus, you will receive the yellow/gold half of the keychain in your order from me, and the silver/purple half from my partner project, Howl & Harmony.
Questions? Let me know! And don't forget to check out my current campaign before it ends in just 10 days!
I know it's been a while since the last update, but there hasn't been a lot to tell. Colab keychains have finished production, and are on their way to us. Unfortunately there have been some delays with production issues and we opted to delay shipping for a few days while we waited for the tariff situation in April to calm down, but rest assured, the colab keychains will be here soon and I can resume shipping everyone's orders as soon as they get here.
Many of your orders (without cross colab keychains) have already shipped and arrived to their new homes, and the reviews have been overwhelmingly positive so far! I hope to have the rest of your orders shipped as soon as possible, so please know that as soon as I get my hands on the colab keychains, I'll be back in fulfillment mode getting all these pins out the door!
Announcement time!
I have a new campaign starting in just a few days, this one is a Medieval Fantasy Creature Pride Collection! Its been a couple of years since I created my last big pride collection, and I wanted to go in a new direction for this one.
This campaign will be part of the Pride Parade, Queerly Made group which launches May 29th and goes through most of June. Like the Pintopia/ Cross-Colab from this campaign, if you back all 4* projects, you'll get bonus items from each of us!
Here's a little teaser for the new collection/ campaign: You can pre-save this campaign and follow along with this link or you can find it with my other sites on my LinkTree (found in social media bio's)
This collection will include more hard enamel pins, as well as stickers and something new for me- car magnets! I plan on also including lanyards and keychains later in the project as stretch goals and bonuses.
I will post another update as soon as the colab keychains arrive. Shipping from China can take up to a month sometimes, but they should be here in a few days or so.
Big update for everyone- I have (finally) finished grading the pins (there were a LOT!) so I am ready to start fulfilling orders and shipping rewards.
I will start canceling unpaid and unanswered surveys this weekend. If your card is still errored or your survey is unanswered, I will be unable to fulfill your order and you will be dropped from the campaign.
As you may recall from the last update, the only thing I am still waiting for is the keychains for the colab rewards. These are currently being made, and should be ready soon :) I do have a little sneak peak of the final keychain though:
Cross Colab Keychain
If you pledged for both mine and Living Biohazard's* campaign, you will receive half of this 2-part keychain from each of us, the golden angel side from me (right) and the purple demon side from them (left). Sorry for the image quality, it is straight from the manufacturer and is mid-production/ assembly. *You will need to have pledged for at least one pin from my partner's campaign to qualify for the keychain
While I will begin shipping rewards soon, any orders that include the cross-colab keychain will not be going out until after the keychains get to me.
I am very excited to show you the pearl effect on the Nova Scorpions! The pearl effect looks different on each pin, so everyone who ordered one of these will get a totally unique pin~
Pearl Effect Uniqueness!
Keep an eye on your emails for the shipping notification! You can always check the status of your order by clicking on your profile on BackerKit, going to 'Your Pledges and Surveys' and clicking on Celestial Insects (or Howl & Harmony to review your order with my colab partner) International orders might not receive a shipping notification with tracking number, but you can always ask me for an update and I will be more than happy to send you the info :)
Thanks for reading! Here's some more fun pictures of the pins I took while counting and sorting :)
Sun Beetles
Moon Beetles
Black Hole Scorpions
Galaxy Snails
Please double-check your payment info and surveys There are still several people who have failed payments and incomplete surveys. When I start fulfilling orders, I cannot ship rewards to people with failed payments and un-answered surveys. Not sure about your card/ survey? Go to your profile on BackerKit, click on "your pledges and surveys" and click on the 'Celestial Insects" tab to check on your payment information and survey status.
Great news- all the pins and keychains have arrived! All at once! I was extremely lucky that everything arrived just in time to miss the tariffs and avoid the de minimus policy removal, but this might be my last big restock for a while, at least on non- sticker items ;-;
I've been hard at work the last few days counting, sorting, and quality checking the nearly 2,000 items which have arrived in the last week, but I do have some photos to share:
2 Part Keychains
Sun and Moon Beetle Pins
Pink Butterfly Pin
Gold Foil Keychains
I'm super happy with how these pins came out! The rainbow plating and pearl-effects look fantastic, and I'm glad I went out on a limb to try something new for this campaign. Most of the pin images were taken in my kitchen where the lighting isn't the best, so please excuse the quality~
Black and White Scorpion Pair
White World-Eater Spider with Spooky
Ladybug Pin
Galactic Bee Keychain
I am still in the process of quality checking all of the pins, but should have most of them ready to ship in about a week or so! As you may remember from the last update(s), the stickers, sticker sheets, and backer cards are also here, so I hope to have a good start on shipping the last week of April/ first week of May.
Unfortunately the cross-colab keychains are still in production, but they are also close to being done and I hope to start sending rewards to folks who pledged to both mine and my partner, LivingBiohazard's campaign by the end of May at the latest.
Have questions? Please feel free to comment here or send me a DM on Instagram! I am more than happy to check the status of your survey or card info if you need, or answer any questions you may have about the pins or fulfillment.
