I gave you all until today to unlock the Phoenix pin, and it was unlocked 40 minutes later. 😂 So the Phoenix pin and colorways are officially unlocked! Our fire bird can be selected as a reward in the pledge manager, and all four pins have been added to the all-in tier.
But also! As promised, each base design has been given an glitter variant. Now each design comes in FIVE colorways: base, glitter, white glitter/rainbow metal, black glitter/rainbow metal, 90's color pop. These glitter editions do not need to be unlocked! And those three additional pins mean the all-in tier now comes with FIFTEEN pins instead of the original twelve!
Here's proofs of the pins, next to their base designs. Check them out, but keep reading for more news!
Still here? Good.
I've nailed down a concept for a future pin series, and I'm hoping to solicit a little feedback. Next year there will be an event featuring mini pins (literally nothing larger than 1"), and I think mini board filler pins of cooking herbs would be so, so cute. (If I listen to my wife, there will be two sets. One kitchen herbs, the other traditional indigenous herbs. So please feel free to bully me into doing more! lol)
What I'd ideally like to do is play more with dyed metals. There would be minimal fill color, and the pins would be almost 3D molded to the shape of each leaf. The end result would almost like gummy candy when they're done.
Here's an example!
The second option is a gold or silver metal (probably silver as I've done a lot of gold recently!) in a hard enamel. So they'd be smooth/flat and be more traditional pins with metal line work in the enamel fill.
What do you think, folks? Let me know in the poll!
