The pins are here. They look so good! I'm heading out the door today for an out-of-town funeral, but I will be back by the end of next week. We are still waiting for one thing, the sticker sheets to be completed and shipped. They are in the middle of production, but the funeral came up so suddenly that it interfered with the timing. :/ I was really worried about that happening with the pins, but I'm so glad my manu helped to streamline that issue.
When I get back, I'll most likely start with the orders that do not have sticker sheets first. We are actually a bit ahead of schedule, so we're doing pretty well on timing.
The pins are finished and are going to be sent to me very soon. They're doing a quality check before officially shipping them. Here are some very grainy pics of them all except for the Jaguar pin. He had already packed him away. I asked him to put them together just so that we could see them all at once, and here we are!
Okay... so I know I said that I would put these babies to rest for a while (I was going through a lot, so I had big sad feelings going on) ...but the pins are coming out so well. T__T I may have an opportunity to do a second wave that concentrates completely on pins next year (2026)
I attached a poll to see what everyone wants to start off with first.
So should we finish them up? Maybe add a couple more? *shrugs*
We have more update shots! I love how they came out so far...I really wish we had been able to unlock more, but seeing how well they've come out, I am more inclined to maybe try again sometime next year for the rest.
And just a reminder, that we have a few days left to pledge for the Mermaids, and we'll jump into the Dragons on June 10th!
We have a few progress shots from the manu! They're moving into various stages, some are ready to be polished, and some are ready for plating. We'll get more progress pics after they come back from this week's holiday. And sidenote if you didn't see a notice in your inbox, I just launched my mermaid collection today, and I'll have another one in June. I normally don't do this many in a year, back to back...but with everything going on, I don't know how long I'll be able to have enamel pins made and I'm trying my best to not crash/freak out. *nervous sweats*
