Happy June, lovely people! I am so excited to announce that Honey the Hummingbird Lynx is now available for preorder β¨π for a limited time, she will ship to you for free within the US <3 (if you message me with your backerkit order number and big cartel order number I will add her to your backerkit package!)
Iβve also received the bulk plush order- hooray! SO MANY BOXES! π I need to sort and grade all these friends and Iβm still waiting for the coloring book order to come in, so it will still be a few weeks before I start shipping orders out.
In the meantime, leftover preorders and bandana accessories are available via bigcartel as well.
Iβm so excited for you all to get your Pawdubon Pals! Thank you all so much for making this project a reality. Itβs really surpassed my wildest dreams and Iβm excited to work on something new soon ;)
Hi friends!! Iβve got great news- all 900 Pawdubon Plush are complete! πΎβ¨
Bulk plush are expected to arrive by June 1, so you all can look forward to meeting your new plush pals this July! (I will need to grade and sort plush before I can pack orders- and packing does take quite some time π )
I want to apologize for the lack of updates. The current tariff drama between the US and China has been a huge worry for me since my plush manufacturing partners are based in Shanghai but luckily these lovely people finished the order in time to avoid the astronomical increase. (Phew!)
Iβm still hoping things will resolve, of course- I have three samples complete for a future campaign that Iβd like to run but Iβm going to have to delay that project for the time being.
On a more exciting noteβ¦
Surprise!!! Zipper brought a friend to the party!!! π₯³ Iβve decided to make Honey the Hummingbird Lynx a reality! She will be arriving with the rest of her Pawdubon Pals, so preorders will begin VERY SOON!! keep an eye out β€οΈ
100 MOLLY PLUSH!!!! WOWIE
THANK YOU ALL so much for making this project a reality! I canβt wait for you to get your paws on these plush ππΎ
I first of all want to acknowledge that updates have been slowing down- that is because weβve 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, Iβll update you guys as I have things to share π
Pip the Pigeon Kitty is complete!
while the photos I get from my many donβt always look the cutest for sharing (you also canβt see the green portion of Pipβs neck/chest from these angles), Iβm STOKED with how this friend turned out!!! Nailing the colors was a bit of a challenge so Iβm glad we persisted.
Iβm also getting sticker and pin inventory sorted so that fulfillment can be as smooth and speedy as possible once the bulk plush arrive!
Itβs so fun to watch things come together. Thank you guys for making it possible!! π
Iβm here with an early update for you! First off, I want to show off the final sample for Zipperβs 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!
Donβt forget- backer surveys will lock in less than 48 hours! (3/1)
(since Bailey and Pip are still unfinished, if youβd 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. Iβm beyond excited for you all to get your plush!!! aaand Iβm beyond excited for another project Iβm putting together, too ;) π³οΈβππ³οΈββ§οΈπ΄
Iβm excited to show you the finalized sample for Shiver the Snowy Owl Arctic Fox!!
Sheβs really turned out so perfectly, I couldnβt 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:
Weβre still perfecting Zipper, Bailey, and Pip- Iβll be sure to show you guys as soon as I can! Iβve decided that surveys will be locked 2/28. If you change your mind after that date- worry not! Youβll 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 weβve yet to see Bailey and Pip finalized, but this felt like a good compromise to me! π
Thanks again for your support! Youβll receive an email notice 48 hours before surveys are locked, giving you a couple days to review and finalize your choices.
Itβs hard to wait for sample news to come in, so Iβm keeping busy with working on upcoming projects and handing out with my sweet puppy, Kazoo! How have you been keeping busy this winter?
