PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: Pins have shipped; patriarchy has been hexed!
We are pleased to update everyone that all orders have been shipped and you should be receiving your packages any day now if you haven't already! We hope you are as happy with the pins as we are and channel their power and protection now and forever. Feel free to post/send/share photos of them in action!
We're also excited to share, after the final accounting of all campaign costs, we were able to make a solid donation to Indigenous Women Rising of $250, which just happens to coincide with a big fundraiser they are having where all donations will be matched during the month of May! From their site: "We will be splitting all funds raised between our abortion fund and the Valley Abortion Group. Valley Abortion Group will be the first BIPOC-led and employee-owned abortion clinic in the United States, providing abortion care in all trimesters of pregnancy." So in total our campaign will raise $500 for them:
Feels good, and to everyone who backed this campaign, this is because of your support and belief in our collective hexing powers! We are so proud to support the grassroots reproductive justice work of IWR who can effectively redistribute every donation to those who need it most.
We will be officially closing the campaign and surveys this Thursday June 1. For the few backers who still need to send surveys, this is your last call to fill out your survey and get some pins, otherwise we appreciate your general donation in support of this campaign.
Finally, we would like to thank the team at BackerKit for giving us this opportunity to try out crowdfunding for the first time and see how much it can help turn ideas into reality. They were super supportive with all our questions along the way, and have built an indispensable platform for fulfilling crowdfunding campaigns. We honestly would not have been able to complete this project without their tools and support, and recommend any other potential creators and artists try crowdfunding as a viable alternative to traditional production methods. Stay in touch, stay hexy, and follow us on Instagram to keep up with our future witchy projects: @new_age_rage / @nessafinnegan. Blessings and gratitude until the next hex!

PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: Hexy pins have landed and are shipping out very soon!
Good news and good goddess are we excited to reveal the final form of these magical hexing beauties to you! We couldn't be happier with the results and hope you are too:
Our next step is distribution logistics which are proving to be somewhat challenging as we are coordinating internationally from 3 different countries. Orders from the EU/UK will need to wait 2-3 more weeks before your orders can be mailed out, but the shipping costs are much cheaper for you this way! Orders from the U.S. and other international countries, we estimate your orders going out in the next 2 weeks, so keep an eye out for the shipping notification coming soon.
We still have a few survey stragglers, which can still fill out the surveys here. We will close the surveys and orders June 1, so please make sure to answer by then if you still want a pin! Thanks to you amazing backers we are able to see this project come full circle and have deep gratitude for your patience and understanding with the process. We will also be in touch again soon with more news about the donation going to Indigenous Women Rising that this project supports!
PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: Pin and packaging progress update
We are excited to inform everyone that the pins have been made at the factory successfully and will be shipping to us next week! We can't wait to reveal them...in the mean time, we've been hard at work coming up with a DIY, as-plastic-free-as-possible packaging system for them, completely designed, printed, cut, folded, and stamped by hand. Check out these beautiful process shots by Nessa who really pulled thru the past week to finish them in time:
If all goes as planned, we should be ready to start shipping the final packages by end of this month/beginning of May! But we are still waiting on some survey responses - if you haven't done so already, it is very necessary at this point to let us know your pin choices and mailing address to help us with the distribution process and make sure we can fulfill orders quickly and accurately. Here is the link to surveys again in case you lost the original email.
Thanks again for your ongoing patience and we hope you are excited as we are to see everything come together!

PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: Last call for surveys and order updates needed by this FRIDAY MARCH 17 :)
The last day to make final updates to your order is this Friday, March 17. After this date, we will lock your reward selections and charge cards for add-on item purchases, pledge upgrades, and pre-orders. You can update your shipping address up until we lock addresses for shipping.
If you haven’t answered your survey yet, if you fill out your BackerKit survey or pay for extra shipping after the March 17 order due date, we’ll still receive your information but your shipment may be delayed.
If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page .
Thanks everyone for your support, we can't wait to get moving on pin production and will be sending updates throughout the process bringing the hex full circle!
