I am absolutely blown away by the amount of love and support this campaign has received, I truly could not have asked for a better launch weekend š± We officially passed $10K, and with that level of funding means I can grow this collection even more than I originally imagined!!
To celebrate this milestone, Iām working on two brand-new pin designs that will be added as options once its finished! One of these was already in the works, but for the second, Iād love your help deciding. Iāve opened a poll to vote on the inspiration for the new pin, whichever option gets the most votes will be brought to life! Closes the night of 1/28, then I'll start working on the theme winner.
Iām also revisiting some color variations that I originally planned to include but scrapped at the last minute because I thought we had enough milestones already. Welp, jokes on me... You all proved me wrong š
One idea I keep coming back to is a Granny Smith-inspired version of āApple Jack.ā Iām currently torn between changing just the apples or updating the rabbitās colors as well. Iāll need a couple of days to sit with it, but in the meantime Iād love to hear opinions!
Fun fact: It takes a lot of practice, but the most determined Harvest Moon Jackalopes gain the ability to enchant seeds that will grow into magical creatures!
New UK-only pledge level: If youāre based in the UK and wanted to support this campaign, you now can! Iāve opened a $1 UK-only reservation tier. Once the campaign ends, Iāll reach out for order details and create a custom Etsy listing. The remaining balance, shipping, and fees will be handled through Etsy. This tier also allows UK backers to receive any free rewards theyāre eligible for!
I also wanted to clear up a bit of confusion regarding the tiers: no matter which tier youāre on, youāll be able to mix and match standard enamel pins and mini pin sets from all unlocked designs!
Backerkit Exclusive Plushie Deal: Since I wasnāt able to give my plushies a proper launch, I decided to bring them over to BackerKit as well. The theme fit perfectly, and its actually what started as early inspiration to make a magic garden collection so it felt right to include them here with a $5 discount for backers to include in their orders. Limited quantities available with the discount (We actually hit the limit on the Mini Black Moon Jackalopes but I still have some available in my shop at regular price!)
New Sticker Add-ons! Stickers of āFlower Jackā and āMushroom Jackā are now available as add-ons! There is also a sticker set option available to receive all 5 stickers with a discountš
While early bird rewards have ended, there are still opportunities to earn other freebies throughout the campaign!
I teamed up with my buddy Wisparia for Pintopia this year! Backers who support both of our projects will receive bonus enamel pins of āFarmer Jackā and āPump-kittyā from us. If you enjoy my work, I know youāll love theirs too!
Thereās also still a chance to earn a mini snail pin by supporting 3 or more projects under the Bloom & Burrow banner, plus a mini pin from each additional creator you support!
I truly cannot put into words how much this support means to me, most of it is coming out as screams!! I never imagined my little critters would receive this much love, and it means so much that I am able to share this world with you all. These characters have brought me a lot of comfort over the years and I hope they can bring the same to you too. I know we can all use it right now.
Thank you for being part of this journey with me š
