First off I want to apologize for the delay releasing the Deathmare community vote pin design! Right after Pin Quest ended, I had the artwork for it almost finished before I realized I needed to dive straight into packing/shipping orders for my last Pintopia Rebirth & Ruin campaign. I really needed to get that campaign wrapped up so I could focus on Pin Quest and my other upcoming projects.
And finally, here's the Deathmare pin reveal!! 🎉
This pin will be an XL pin at 3" tall/wide, and I plan on doing orange glitter on the wings + lots of screenprinted details to give it that fire look🩵❤️🧡💛🔥 Think Dark Fantasy Pegasus with Hellfire wings 😻🤟🏼
Pin will be available in the Survey Add-on Shop!
More great news: the surveys are almost ready! I’m on track to sending out the Smoke Test surveys toward the end of this week/beginning of next week to start getting the final counts. I’ve already sent the artwork over to my manufacturer so they can start working on the molds while we wait for final quantity numbers from the surveys.
🐞 New Campaign: Pinned & Preserved 🪲
📣 Launching tomorrow on Monday: Pinned & Preserved is my new Insect enamel pin collection inspired by insect taxidermy, or insect pinning! This campaign is a part of the Super League of Science group collab project~
Since this Super League of Science campaign is happening right after Pin Quest, I’ve decided to combine shipping for anyone who backs the new Pinned & Preserved insect pin campaign! 🪲🐜❤️
➡️ This means I’ll be starting production on the first batch of the insect pins early so they’ll be ready around the same time as the Pin Quest pins are finished! 🎁🎉 It’s like the first batch of pins are reserved just for Pin Quest backers PLUS you get free shipping on the new campaign! It's a win-win especially if you love insect/nature pins~
💖🪰 As a big thank you for supporting the new Insect campaign, all returning Backers will get a free iridescent Bottle Fly vinyl sticker! <3
There's also Early Bird Freebies in the first 48 hours!
I really appreciate your patience waiting for the Deathmare pin art and for this update to come out! 🙏🏼 For full transparency on the short delay, I’ve also been dealing with a lot in real life including my grandma passing away last month and getting mentally burnt out with my busy work schedule/packaging several hundred orders as fast as possible for Pintopia.
It's been hard juggling it all lately, but I'm trying my best to stay positive during this time and I'm working every day to keep myself and the campaign going along!
If anyone else needs a reminder today :) <3
Your guy's patience and understanding means the world to me, especially right now, thank you so much. I also can't thank you enough for being here supporting my art and being a part of this really amazing community we've built here on Backerkit :) I hope everyone has been doing well lately, please remember to take care of yourselves during this time as well! ☺️🙏🏼
As soon as I get some photo updates with these Pin Quest pins, I'll share them asap~! See you all in the next update!!
💖Jess~!
