All pins are here. Photos inside! PLEASE READ if you backed the orange cat eyes!
Hey hey everyone!
After what feels like an eternity, the pins have arrived last week and I finally snapped some photos of them.
The good news: all of them look gorgeous and t...
Hey hey everyone and happy halloween! We‘ve been climbing slowly but surely, buuuut given how close the end of the campaign is and the fact that some of you are still hoping for the last few mushrooms, I‘ve decided to just unlock them! All purchasable mini pins are unlocked! This should give you some security that the mini pins you want are all available without having to constantly monitor the campaign. (And I get to sleep better too lol) I put 10.6k as the threshold in the graphic but honestly unless we have a mass cancellation, they stay unlocked even if we dip below. Please note that the freebie pin (the cat) may or may not be unlocked at all. The conditions for that one remain the same. If we don‘t unlock it as a freebie, I will see if there‘s enough interest in it post-campaign to make it anyways and make it a purchasable add-on as well. If the 11.5k tier is unlocked, it will also be purchasable by everyone. I hope that makes a few choices easier for you all. Again, even if we don‘t unlock everything, I‘m already more than happy with how this project went and I could never make pins regularly if it wasn‘t for you all!
Also just for shit and giggles let me know what your favourite mini pins is from the newly added stretch goals :D
Best wishes and have a wonderful, sweet, spooky and cozy halloween! Averil
Hey hey everyone! I’ve had a great time working out some new stretch goals based on your suggestions in the past days - it was super helpful so an extra thanks goes out to everyone who commented and/or suggested something! I think it is so cool to work with you all as a community and have a back-and-forth rather than me just working alone. You guys are great!
Before I yap too much again: Here’s the new stretch goals!
#
I hope this goal structure is fun for you all! The freebie may be a little ambitious but I do know that we’re capable of hitting the numbers - my previous campaign did hit that much, so let’s try!
While not every idea could make it, I did consider all of them and played around - some did not work that well in practice and some had to be cut out just because the amount of pin is bordering on overwhelming for one campaign (I have to grade, pack and store them all haha). But the mushrooms that did not make it in this campaign will be in the next one - Meowshrooms where it’s… well cats and mushrooms again, but two-in-one :D And as for more eyes, acorns etc… I’m sure the next halloween campaign will come again :’) Loved the ideas but the creative juices for those weren’t flowing fast enough to make it in time for this campaign.
Thank you so much again! You guys are seriously wonderful!
I've started packing pledges again this week (slowly - LBM has left me completely dead for days lol), and am also now grading and carding the cat eye remakes which have arrived in the meantime! So from now on things will go smoothly again.
My plan is to get the majority of ready-to-ship pledges out on Monday. I will send the tracking numbers out all in one batch once everything is out just because it's more efficient this way and I want to get the actual work done sooner than later.
So if you don't hear anything it's mostly because of that, I'll write another update once everything is done!
Hey all! Just a quick check-in from package hell. I'm finally back to full health(ish) so the last few days it's finally been picking up with fulfillment. @_@ The first half of March was a bit rough/slow but it's going well now.
Currently over 100 parcels are packed, most of which are US orders that will all be picked up by the 3rd party shipment provider tomorrow, and the non-US ones that are currently packed will be dropped off as well.
Big batch!
I will try to pack another big batch until Tuesday, hoping to get another 50-70ish done if I can! After that, there will be a short break since I'll be at Leipzig Book Fair until the 23rd.
While I'm there, the cat eye remakes should arrive, so once I'm back I'm fairly certain I can handle the remaining ones within the last week of March with no problems. So if nothing unforeseen happens, we'll be ending right on schedule by the end of March. I'll be sending the tracking info out soon as well.
Also a reminder: please do check your surveys and payments! Currently there's still a handful who haven't picked their pins and also quite a lot whose payments have failed. Keep in mind that you won't get anything if you don't do both, and any partial payments will be considered donations. If you have trouble with the payments, you can also reach out to me and I can set up a different payment method (eg Paypal or a more traditional shop checkout via my webshop - I know that crowdfunding is notoriously difficult to explain to banks/CCs!)
