As the rewards are still in manufacturing and August is reaching its close, I think it’s safe to say that shipment will need to be pushed back to either September or mid October, depending on when all items have been received. There were a couple of miscommunications with the manufacturer regarding the design which threw the projected date a bit off course, but they have been amended. I’ll be sure to throw in a surprise or two with all non-tip jar backers as a thank you for your patience!
For some better news, however, did want to show off the proofs received for the metal pins!
I increased the size of the metal pins just slightly, and went with a brass finish on these to help highlight the artwork shine through more than the initial silver. They should still be plenty small for ita bag filler or small little broaches while giving the art a bit more visibility!
That’s all for now! Thank you all so much and I’m excited to get these little guys to their rightful homes.
With almost all surveys filled out and the majority of counts updated, all pins have been sent into production! I will be updating as I get news about the process, when they’re shipped to me, and ready to be released to you all. Thank you so much for a wonderful campaign.
Below is the proof from my manufacturer on the hard enamel bonus unlock:
(Updates are being made for the cutouts, don’t worry! This was just the first pass. Size will be slightly increased to permit for the cutout portions).
Sizes of the eco metal lapel pins have also been increased to 25mm for a little extra room for the design to shine. Should still be small enough to make a nice Ita Bag filler!
Hello Hello my fabulous backers! Surveys have now been sent out. Please make sure to fill these out, as they will make sure I am able to get the funds to ship off items and collect addresses to make sure all items make their way successfully to you.
Due to the fact that only one enamel pin was unlocked, I am offering an option for backers of enamel pins to switch to the eco metal set if they desire more variety. Each backer, regardless of tier and time of pledge, will receive a lanyard and hard enamel of the mascot as a thank you for supporting the project.
Since cards were already charged, unless there were issues with your payment you should only have to pay for shipping and any additional items you like on your pledges! So feel free to fill those out and I look forward to hearing back from you all.
Happy pride, my fellow Furodivergents and allies! While I keep cracking on the survey manager, I wanted to let you know for those who ordered the enamel pin tiers, the orders have been placed. I have a total of 50 ‘namels set for production, and also a little surprise for you all…
The mascot’s hard enamel option has been self-unlocked. With a successful campaign at Furality and a BOGO from my manufacturer, I was able to grab a deal on Hard Enamels. So if you’d prefer to upgrade your enamel listing to hard enamels, I’ll have that option available to you all. I’ll also likely have overstock in my shops later on, so feel free to keep your peepers peeled!
Hoping that surveys will be out by next week so I can get the totals on the eco metal badges! Thank you so much for your patience with me in bringing this project alive!

Hello there again! Wanted to update folks that I’ll be “out of office,” so to speak, for the coming week, as I’m vending at Furality’s virtual convention and attending a family event out of town. But progress will resume again right after!
Projected Rundown:
I’ll begin by sending the enamel pin designs out to the manufacturer. Since those require a minimum of 50 pins (bulk requirement) and that’s more than were placed, it’ll cut down time waiting while I get the exact numbers of each design on the metal pins.
Surveys are still coming out! I’ve been learning the ropes of the crowdfunding backend and run into some hurdles, but I am conquering those with some help. When you receive these, be sure to fill them out so I can get your mailing addresses & desired products. The metal pins have six different designs, and I want to make sure that I send the right babies your way!
Since we have a small number of backers, everyone will receive a lanyard complimentary with their packages! They’ll be made with an easy-open clasp for optimum accessibility. Here’s the design down below for those who want a snapshot before they’re sent out.
And I look forward to being able to provide more updates to you all soon!
Thank you guys so much for your help and such a wonderful campaign! I appreciate each and every one of you for believing in me, and helping to fund this thing through its first stages. Expect to see the surveys go out within the next couple weeks, and with luck, we’ll be able to raise at least one stretch goal or two with the preorder shop. Stay tuned for more!
