The poll hasn't closed yet, but I wanted to get a jump on designing some new pins. And I ended up going on a journey. Fox had a strong initial lead, so I started working on that. Then raven jumped ahead, so I swapped gears. Haha! Now I have two designs I'll be sending off to my manu for mock ups.
I'm playing with either adding gold glitter to the dark blue of the raven, or making that pearlescent. Something to invoke the feeling of a night sky.
With the rumors of increased tariffs, it's a little uncertain just how much extra these designs will cost. Reports have additional Chinese tariffs (most pin factories are in China!) have been spouting numbers anywhere from 10-60%, and if you don't know: It's not Chinese factories paying these tariffs, it's the importer - aka, your humble small business.
Keeping that in mind, additional pins will be unlocking at every $1,000 benchmark. This will provide enough padding to account for all the extra pins that will be ordered.
That means - unless y'all do something crazy in the poll! - the raven and fox design will be unlocked when we hit $5,000. If we start creeping on 6k, we'll have some more designing to do. Deer or stag was really popular in the comments! Maybe I should get working on that. :D
Other news!
My sister & collab campaign are so close to unlocking their mini music note pins! It'd be sure awesome if we could bump them over 1k this weekend :D [LINK]
Here's a project I backed:
Here's one that could use a little love -
Honestly, he's so cute. New stretch goal is just money for me to back this, okay? Okay.
