Pledges & Surveys!
Hey everyone!
I've been working on the survey, and expect to have it out sometime in the next week or so. The survey is where you'll pick your rewards, select any additional ad...
I hope you’re all doing well. It’s been a tough time in our house with our dog passing in the beginning of the year, and now one of our kitties passing from cancer last week. 💔 I’m still focusing on moving this project along though.
In happier news, I got some sample photos from my manufacturer that I wanted to send your way!
Jackalope Pin
Jackalope Glowing Eye
I’m SO excited for the Jackalope pin. I was warned the glowing powder might make the eye a little lighter/speckled, but I think it looks fantastic!
Ghost Cat Pin
Iridescent Shimmer
Ghost Cat Glow
I felt AMBITIOUS with this design and had my manufacturer do both glow in the dark powder AND iridescent powder. This is something they hadn’t done before, so I had them make up this sample before making all the units. The powders do interact a bit, and the glow effect is lessened. This being said, I still really like how both of the features look even though the glow isn’t super bright.
The Ghost Cat pin is the freebie for the people who pledged to both my project partner and my Creatures project. Extras will be available for sale after the project ends.
I want to know what YOU think of it if you pledged to both projects OR if you plan on purchasing one after the project ends. Please vote in the poll I attached!
Let me know— do you like it as it is? Should I remove the glow all together? Should I try to reduce the iridescence to see if it makes the glow better? I 100% love the iridescence and won’t be getting rid of that!
I hope you're all doing well. I've been locking your orders so I can get a final count of the pins. I'll be officially sending out my order to start pin production this weekend. I'm getting a few samples just to make sure the effects turn out the way I want them to!
There are FIVE of you who still need to complete your survey! Please do this as soon as possible. I sent out your survey links again in case you couldn't find them. :)
Check out these bad boys! So I officially already have backing cards, bumper stickers, and buttons.
I Brake for Cryptids! and Buttons
Black Barely Scary Buttons with Holographic Finish
I'm so excited to see the pins in production + to be able to share that with you all. Stay tuned!!
I've gotten most surveys back! It's been really cool to see the creatures and add-ons you're all selecting. I want to say THANK YOU again for all the support!! <3 There are just 10 of you left that need to complete your surveys! If that's you, please finish your survey by 6/14! I will begin locking your orders on this date so I can get an accurate count of the items you're all pledging for.
If you're having trouble finding your survey, let me know! I can resend it to you if needed. You can also update your surveys up until the due date. Behind the scenes: I ordered the bumper stickers and buttons this weekend! It feels good to be putting things in motion.
That's it for now. I just wanted to send out a quick update and reminder to finish your surveys. Thanks everyone!!
ALL surveys have been sent out, so check your emails! Please fill these out as soon as possible. Responses will be locked Fri, 6/14.
Your cards will be charged for shipping and any extra add-ons 1-2 weeks after the lock date. This is just so you'll be charged closer to the shipping date.
I'm waiting for more of your survey responses so I can make a better estimate of the number of each design that I need to order. I'm expecting production to take about a month. Once they arrive, it will take me about a week to grade (quality check) all the pins. Then I can start putting them on their backing cards and putting together your orders!
Behind the scenes: I already ordered and received more backing cards. It's important to me that I am environmentally conscious with my packaging materials. My backing cards also double as my business card so I don't need extra cards, and they are made with paper sourced from sustainable forests. I also ship most orders out of 100% recycled and recyclable paper mailers. For larger orders, I either reuse boxes I already have or source boxes that are made from recycled materials.
I know backing cards and shipping materials aren't the most interesting part of the project, but they deserve their moment in the spotlight while we wait for everything else.
Take care + I'll check in soon with more updates! -Traci
