Very short update but here they are! I hope everyone enjoys them! Next update will hopefully be of the sample photos. Thanks everyone again for your patience!
Just wanted to give a little update about the pins!
As you are aware, the color variants are making use of uv printing for different designs, but I wanted to make them a little more robust, so the leopard, panther, and lynx designs all have some adjustments. My deepest apologies for letting everyone know so late, I was so frazzled setting up the surveys and so completely fried after, that it slipped my mind until just now as I was adjusting the cutlines on the sticker sheets to print.
The leopard set and the lynx set both have a set of spots shared between them with their special motifs as screen printed details. For the panthers, I’ll be doing two molds; one for the original confetti panther and another the stretch goal set, since there really isn’t much overlap in their designs.
I’m currently ironing out the details with the manufacturer, but after everything is approved and settled, we’re looking at about a month for the production time! I expect a little back and forth adjusting colors, so I’m gonna put out a rough shipping estimate of late may to June.
Thank you everyone for your patience! Please enjoy some of the digital proofs 💕🌼🌱
Some bonus ramblings if you’ve read this far….
I’m starting to think ahead to what project I’d like to do next… summer fruits are speaking to me right now, I cant seem to get strawberries outta my head.. or maybe carousel kitty plush? That might be a goal for next year actually…. Regardless, worry not! My priority is doing the best I can on these! I really can’t wait to get them and take them out, maybe on an actual carousel ride 💖
Wishing everyone happiness and health! I’ll catch everyone on the next update ☘️
It's almost been a month, so I will be locking surveys for those who have them filled out April 1st. (and that's no joke!) What locking means is you cannot change or add on any additional items to your survey. You will not be charged at this time! There will be a heads-up before this second charge, which is for shipping + Any add-ons if selected. I'm projecting to do the second charge around Late April to early May, but I will of course keep everyone in the loop!
I believe if you are Pay in 4, you will not be sent your survey until you are finished paying, so don't fret if you haven't received it yet. You will be able to fill out your survey when you're done paying! Locking the surveys does not bar anyone from filling it out, just changing what has been filled out. If anyone has any issues however, do reach out!
The pre-order store will remain open a bit longer, probably until I place the final order with the manufacturer, but I'll give notice for closing it as well.
That's all for this update!
If you have any questions, I think email is the best way to reach me, so do not hesitate at any time to do so if needed.
Thanks everyone for your support and patience! I hope spring is treating everyone nicely!
Thank you so much for everyone's patience!! I have finally got the surveys sent out and the pre-order store opened. If you were not able to back during the campaign, you can pick up any goodies you like there~!
If you run into any trouble with your survey, please feel free to reach out via email and I will get back to you ASAP within the next few business days. Since I sent the survey out over the weekend, I will be checking my email tonight and tomorrow if any questions come in too.
I apologize that the international shipping is a bit high. I've tried different options to calculate the rates, but regardless if I put in a polymailer or a box, the price isn't changing.
The surveys will be open for about two weeks, and after that time I will try to finalize the counts and get the order started.
Things should be pretty quiet until then.
With all that said, I hope everyone enjoys their weekend! (I'll try to have a lil doodle or something for the next update!)
My apologies for the delay, it was a very busy week with all of the holidays and some other deadlines I had to finish, but I am steadily getting everything in order for the surveys. I'm also planning to open the pre-order store, so if there's anything you wanted to add on or you were not able to back during the funding period, you will have a chance there as well. Thanks everyone for your patience as I'm figuring out this stuff!
In the meantime, I have a poll regarding how frequently to update, and I'd appreciate if folks took the time to give it a look!
I will be trying to have the smoke test sent out tomorrow, which is basically sending out a few of the surveys just to make sure everything is working okay before they are sent out to everyone!
I have finalized the sticker sheets that I'll have available! I really wanted to add more, but I decided that this was a good amount and I really needed to keep moving forward. As a reminder, the stickers themselves will be clear vinyl, so the backgrounds and colored borders will not be present on the final stickers. There will be a transparent border around them.
And lastly, there is one last revision on Sea salt Lynx. I've decided to make their saddle sandy after a really nice suggestion for some sand to be present, so thank you! ! I love how it looks, and I hope everyone else enjoy it too!
And that's all for this one, thanks for your time!
