Hey all!

So a little over half of you already have your pins, but now it's time for the collab orders to go out! If you opted in for collab shipping on the Bird Crimes project we are going to be packing your order this weekend. Then I will ship them all in waves over the next week or so. We are SO CLOSE to being done!

Thanks for your patience, and let me know what you want to see from me next!

Hey all!

Packages are going out daily now but we've identified an error -

It looks like there was an error with the Worm Minipin add-on and it was NOT added to any of the Pack Lists that were printed! This means if you ordered it and your package is shipped, it will not be in there.

If you ordered the Worm Minipin and I've already packed your order, I will ship it separately!
If you prefer a $5 refund, just let me know and I can do that as well!

If you receive your package and anything else is missing please contact me ASAP at [email protected] and I will get a replacement out to you as soon as I am able.

Also, my UK backers who also backed Bird Crimes - your collab pin from me will be packaged with you Bird Crimes order. 

Thanks!
Corvi

I already started with a few international orders since those have the longest travel time, I will begin buying labels and shipping packages this weekend! I plan to go slow and steady through August to ship out about 400 packages prior to the combined shipping -

If you are one of the 300+ backers who opted in for combined shipping on Ken's Bird Crimes project survey, your items will be combined and shipped together a little later on, some time in September.
I missed several UK backers on this due to a technical error with how the UK orders are set up, sorry!  So I've already shipped and you'll get your stuff super early without the combo package. 

Thanks and I can't wait to get you your stuff!

PS. Reminder - Gryphon Tapestry for sale!

I have a limited number of Gryphon tapestries up for sale on my new website! 

Buy HERE!
These will be available in the future as part of my next crowdfunding campaign, but I had ordered a supply in advance for Anthrocon... well I missed the convention due to illness and now I have a stock burning a hole through my basement storage space.
All purchases have FREE shipping (US only for now) and come with a FREE 3in vinyl gryphon sticker! 

This is a relatively long update since I missed quite a bit of time due to having covid for 2 weeks! ew!!! I now have all the pins and sticker sheets, I am just waiting on all of the final packaging materials to arrive and then I will begin the long process of shipping ~800 orders! To do this, I need to lock addresses in BackerKit, so you will be getting an email in case you need to change your address. If you do not need to make any address changes, no action is needed.  

I'm going to go slow and steady on fulfillment so I don't make mistakes or burn out from doing this on top of my full time job and shop, but I am planning packaging and shipping to be finished by the end of August. Slightly ahead of schedule!

Ken and I are also working on figuring out some way to combine our shipping for those of you who ordered from both the Backyard Birds and Bird Crimes projects, and offering an incentive for those who opt-in. Particularly for our international backers. We expect the Bird Crimes pins to be ready for shipment in mid-August so, at most, this would be a couple weeks delay on your Backyard Birds items. I will be back soon with more info on this.

I've also recently finished the design for the Thank You cards! Everyone will be getting a 3.5x5in card in their order :) I kept it small so it can fit into the smaller bubble mailers. The two most popular pin designs are the Mourning Dove and the Blue Jay, so I painted one and made the other the thank you sticker. Check out the artwork below!

Thanks and I'll be back with more info soon!

I am so sorry, but I will NOT be able to attend Anthrocon or do in-person pickups.

I'm crushed. I came down with Covid last monday, was sick for 5 days, but then began to feel better and started testing negative. after testing negative for covid for 3 days, I tested positive again today and have started having symptoms again. 

I need to stay home for the health of myself and everyone else. 

I'll be working on healing up for the next few days, I will need to get the sticker sheets shipped to me now and I can start shipping orders as soon as I get those and I'm back to healthy.

Sorry again, I'll miss you all!
