Project Update: One Week Left!

Good morning! And happy Juneteenth!

There's just one week left to pledge to the campaign! After that, there will be about 2 weeks before the surveys are ready and sent out and production can begin.

I do have a couple of updates for you- including some (potential) new stretch goals~

First up- The Gay Man/ MLM Creature Pin:



You may notice that this is not the creature that won the poll, and for that I have to apologize- This was the second most popular creature, but I had been working on a cockatrice/ basilisk design for a while and, well, decided that I get a vote too :)
I love how this guy turned out, and I think the colors go really well with the flag and the red and yellow accents balance out the blue and greens of the flag.

Next on the Agenda: More stretch goals!

I think we have time for one (ish) more goal before the campaign ends in just 1 week! There is currently a poll up to decide what this last goal will be, and the choices are for more Flag Creature pins (likely just one more), a new item like a reusable sticker book or pencil bag, or a set of mini pins (see below!)

Mini Pins (Poll Option)
I had a wonderful idea on Monday to make mini flag banners like the ones you see in fantasy shows/ movies when opposing armies clash and you see the fancy banners on poles or hanging from a castle wall. I designed a few of these so you can see my vision:


With these I would do several flag options so you could theoretically get a large creature pin (2") as well as a mini flag pin (1") in the same flag, or get a bunch of mini banners to line up on an apron or lanyard for work! These would be 1 inch tall, gold plated, and have two pin posts with rubber clutches. Each would run you about $12 or a set of 3 for $30

Vote now on which option you want to see!

There was a question about the lanyards I would like to elaborate on-
The graphic I came up with for these is not accurate to what the final item will look like, the real lanyards will have a breakaway clasp (don't worry- they're still sturdy and won't just fall off!) as well as a leather finish and lobster clasp. In truth I just didn't want to draw the extra clasp on the mock up, but I can see how that would cause confusion.

Here's an example of a lanyard already made and in my shop:

That's all for now! I'll be out of town this weekend so updates won't be as frequent, but you can always check out my Instagram story for quick updates and sneak peaks :)

Have a great weekend everyone!
