Project Update: Shipping is done!

Hi Everyone!
Just one final update to let you know all shipping is done!
The project will be closed today. Please email me at [email protected] for any queries regarding shipping or your pledge!
Shipping for everyone outside the UK can take up to 3 weeks, so please give it a little bit for shipping time to resolve itself if you havent received your pledge yet! <3

Lastly, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS PROJECT POSSIBLE!


I have a lot of ideas in my mind that i cant really integrate into my normal shop releases because of their themes, and using Backerkit is the best way to bring these ideas to life!
All of these designs have now been put on my shop at geekandartsy.com ( a completely new site, too!!), in limited amounts if you'd like to pick up more designs.

My next project should be launching on Kickstarter in April hopefuly <3

Love,
Saphira, Geek and Artsy

Project Update: Second shipping update!

Hi everyone! Just a quick update to let everyone know the state of shipping!

UK is DONE!
EUROPE is DONE!
US is 80% Shipped- smaller orders have all been shipped, we are all making the ones above 250g- around 20 backers!
Rest of the world is DONE!

I've been pushing really hard to get these shipped as fast as possible, and they should have started arriving to you by now <3 The last 20 or so pledges will be shipped on monday, as i'll be working on them through the weekend.

To everyone who hasnt filled out their survey: your pledges will be considered donations if you dont fill them out by this monday, when i expect to have shipping completely finished. I have sent out 10+ reminders at this point, please fill out your survey if you havent yet or your pledge will be forfeit!

Have a great weekend,
Saphira

Project Update: Shipping Update!

Good morning everyone!
This is a quick update to say all UK pledges have now been shipped and i'm starting with Europe next.
I'm really sorry its taking so long, there have been a lot of things needing my time at the same time, but i'm making slow and steady progress!

I also didnt manage to unlock surveys for everyone that wanted to add the itty bitty feminist agenda to their pledge- since the pledges were already locked, i talked to backerkit and theres no way of doing that in a way that wont break the process for everyone.
However, i did manage to make a listing on etsy for it HERE, so please purchase it here and add your backer number in the order notes to add it to your pledge.
This listing has free shipping to save you on postage. Very limited quantities are available.

Have a great week, 
Saphira

Project Update: Meet all the designs!! Shipping will start this week!

Good morning filled with righteous rage everyone!

All the new designs are now in hand, and i took some photos for you- they're not as great as i hoped because theres no sun around here at the moment, but im SO happy with how everything turned out, including the much-revised More Pride Less Prejudice pin which now looks appropriately rainbow plated!
Without further ado, here are some photos of the new items!



I have also had some requests to add more items to your pledges to save on shipping- YOU CAN NOW ADD THE NEW TINY FEMINIST AGENDA (very limited amount) AND ANY OTHER EXTRA ITEMS TO YOUR PLEDGES! Follow the original survey link or leave a comment below and i'll resend you your survey link!

Last bun not least, if you havent filled out your shipping information, please do so now- ANY PLEDGES WITRH UNPAID SHIPPING FEES WILL BE TREATED AS A DONATION AS OF NEXT WEEK.

Shipping for Feminine Rage will start this week!

Have a good weekend,
Saphira

Project Update: A huge update on designs! Please look at this update!

Good morning everyone!
 
This will be a long update, and im absolutely gonna need your feedback to stay tuned and lets get into it!
First of all, we are slightly behind schedule- and this is for a few reasons:
One, i fucked up! 😅 In my hurry to order notebooks, i ordered them in the wrong size!😂 Dont worry, i have already ordered them again in the right size, but meanwhile you get to see these adorably tiny notebooks and appreciate the quality. NGL, they are so damn cute and after the initial disappointment i just chuckled. I will make them available on my shop after the project is fulfilled.

Secondly, the manufacturer made the freebie stickers too small...and i promise this one isnt on me 😂 The right stickers are also already on their way to me, so enjoy these tiny itty bitty metal stickers, so tiny that i couldnt even get the camera to focus on them! i'll likely still add one to each pledge just because they're so cute.

Third, the "more pride less prejudice" pin needed to be remade! It just didnt look great with the initial colours, and i asked my manufacturer to remake the plating to be more colorful. I also asked him to change the original enamel infill and reduce it so its only on the letters and not on the flowers.
This is what they looked like halfway hrough production after being filled with enamel! You can see its way too white and the metal colours just didnt show. i made the decision to get all the enamel out of the flower area and replate the pins so the colours in the metal show better and just look a bit more rainbow liek they were meant to.

These are being remade right now, and should be done soon.

Now for the good stuff: ALL THE OTHER PINS AND OTHER REWARDS ARE DONE AND LOOK GREAT! Here are some images of finished pins and the phone grip. I'm so happy about the colours, and overall they needed very minimal changes.

What do you think? Let me know in the comments!

As for shipping, it should happen in about a month when i finish receiving everything. I will update you as soon as i have more news ^^
If you havent filled out your surveys, please do so ASAP! I know i've been hounding you about it, but would like to make the donation to our chosen charity and need everyone to have finalized their orders so i can do the math!

Wishing you a very happy new year,
Saphira
