✨ Bandana Accessories + Preorder Shop!! ✨💫
Happy update day!! We unlocked Pip at $12,000 on our final funding day last week, but we also unlocked a special surprise: bandana accessories!!!
These are handmade by m...
I first of all want to acknowledge that updates have been slowing down- that is because we’ve moved into the production phase! This will upwards of a month or so, with shipping effectively doubling that time. Instead of biweekly updates during this stage, I’ll update you guys as I have things to share 😅
Pip the Pigeon Kitty is complete!
while the photos I get from my many don’t always look the cutest for sharing (you also can’t see the green portion of Pip’s neck/chest from these angles), I’m STOKED with how this friend turned out!!! Nailing the colors was a bit of a challenge so I’m glad we persisted.
I’m also getting sticker and pin inventory sorted so that fulfillment can be as smooth and speedy as possible once the bulk plush arrive!
It’s so fun to watch things come together. Thank you guys for making it possible!! 💖
I’m here with an early update for you! First off, I want to show off the final sample for Zipper’s keychain plush. They ended up SOO CUTE!
it was a hard decision to go with screen printing but patterning with all the markings was giving the plush a lot of issues with shape. I think it looks super nice, especially with the facial features and paw pads embroidered on!
Pip still needs some important edits, such as the eye and muzzle sizing + some color mix ups, but they are nearly done as well! Pip and Bailey are the last two plush we need to perfect, and based on progress we should be finalizing them in the next week or so!
Don’t forget- backer surveys will lock in less than 48 hours! (3/1)
(since Bailey and Pip are still unfinished, if you’d like to change your plush choices after their samples are complete you will be able to do so!)
Thank you all so much for sticking with me. I’m beyond excited for you all to get your plush!!! aaand I’m beyond excited for another project I’m putting together, too ;) 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🐴
I’m excited to show you the finalized sample for Shiver the Snowy Owl Arctic Fox!!
She’s really turned out so perfectly, I couldn’t be happier!!
Molly the Mourning Dove Bunny is coming along beautifully, too!
She is sooo close to perfection- the only thing we need to fix is the placement of her eye embroidery, as you can see here:
We’re still perfecting Zipper, Bailey, and Pip- I’ll be sure to show you guys as soon as I can! I’ve decided that surveys will be locked 2/28. If you change your mind after that date- worry not! You’ll be able to contact me via email ([email protected]) to make changes to your selections if need be. I know many of you are still undecided since we’ve yet to see Bailey and Pip finalized, but this felt like a good compromise to me! 💖
Thanks again for your support! You’ll receive an email notice 48 hours before surveys are locked, giving you a couple days to review and finalize your choices.
It’s hard to wait for sample news to come in, so I’m keeping busy with working on upcoming projects and handing out with my sweet puppy, Kazoo! How have you been keeping busy this winter?
First of all, I wanted to acknowledge that there were two remaining issues with the “pack of five stickers” add-on that have now been resolved:
On some questions there were images that mixed up the Daffodil and Remi sticker designs. That is now fixed! If you chose either sticker on one of the impacted questions worry not- you will get BOTH stickers both as my little apology and to make sure you got the design you wanted 💖
When adding a pack of five stickers via your post-campaign survey, some questions only let you choose 1-7 out of the 9 total designs. This has been corrected AND everyone affected will receive a surprise bonus sticker!
If you were impacted by either issue you can go and make corrections to your survey if you need to! Making changes will not remove your apology bonus :D thanks for all of your patience on this- I wanted to make things right so I took some extra time to make absolutely sure!
I’ve also got plush progress to show for Bailey and Pip! Here’s a sneak peek:
They’re looking so great! I included my notes on needed modifications so you guys can get an idea of the direction these plush are moving in. I especially love how cute Bailey’s colors look all together <3 I adore that shade of blue!
Since Pip the Pigeon Kitty is still at a very rudimentary stage, I’ve decided to move the survey deadline to Friday 2/22!
Hi friends- surveys are now live! You can now select your plush, stickers, etc and purchase any additional add-ons that you’d like 💕 there have been a few questions, so I’m gonna address those here ^^
Having trouble? You can reach me at [email protected] or contact backer support!
I did have some people run into issues, so I made a few fixes:
ALL 9 sticker designs should now be selectable (some questions only showed options 1-7)
Missing images for plush options on some questions have been added
Bandana options graphic has been added where it was missing for pledge levels including multiple bandanas
If you ran into any of these issues while filling out your survey, you can go back and make changes until 2/14!
Zipper and Daffodil
I have also heard from many Pip and Bailey fans that they’d like to see prototypes before making their choices- we should have Works-In-Progress in the coming days! My manufacturing partner has been closed for the Lunar New Year holiday and will be returning this week.
We probably won’t have final samples for Pip and Bailey before the survey’s soft deadline on 2/14, but if we don’t at least have samples that are close/give a clear idea of what the final plush will look like I will extend the deadline!
It’s worth noting that once the survey deadline has passed you won’t be able to cancel or remove any items, but if you’d like to ADD additional plush or add-ons you’ll be able to contact me to do so! 💕
Shiver plush WIP and alterations in progress
I’d also like to announce that I’m now on Patreon!
I’ve got more exciting ideas for future projects, but the overhead costs for prototypes adds up fast. 😅 you can help me make even more plush and other projects a reality with a small monthly donation!
you’ll also gain access to exclusive content (I’ve got concepts for the next plush series I’d like to make posted ;D) and even exclusive monthly stickers if you choose to support me at the “sticker club” tier!
Here is February’s sticker club design:
