Project Update: ☆ December Update ☆
Hey
Sorry everyone. I really wanted to make a big update but things are changing quite rapidly in the background, and I don't want to say anything that's immediately rendered incorrect again.
Most of the pins have arrived, but a portion are MIA right now (they were in the same order as the missing Mythical Garden pins). We're not sure if they were sent out but to the wrong address, or if they're not finished yet.
Half of the stationery stuff is here, but the notebooks and sticker books are still in production.
We're having issues with the card production. Initially the manufacturer said they could work with the artwork we provided them, but the samples we keep getting back are unusable as a deck (the colour is varying between the cards, so the backs aren't identical). On the first samples before the project launched we were told it was just the specific finish we'd picked out. Since changing the finish, they are saying its the colour profile and specific shade of green/blue that I'm using. This is an ongoing issue that we're trying to fix.
Unfortunately, changing that around is taking so much time that the minor arcana hasn't progressed much. Right now, we're of the opinion that if it gets to a point where everything else is completed and ready to go and the minor arcana isn't, or at least very nearly completed, we'll have to remove it from this campaign. If we do go ahead with that, we'll refund everyone that paid for it already. I'm not 100% if its necessary yet, but it might be.
Otherwise, we've done a total overhaul of our shipping fees. We had a lot of emails about it jumping up from low to very high with just one item, so we've added a lot of steps in between. We also added a few more country specific prices. We will be applying the US tariffs soon - it should be 10% of your item total. It might come up slightly less, but it absolutely shouldn't be more, so let me know if its not totalling up correctly.
Keep scrolling to get a preview of a couple of the pins we do have (I need to schedule a photo shoot asap). We're taking a short break from now until after Christmas, but hopefully in Jan I'll be back with good news.
Happy holidays, everyone ~

Not the best pictures. When they're all here we'll do the full set one by one so you can be sure of your choices; the designs have been changed slightly due to manufacturer's requests.
The designs and colours are pretty identical on the cards as they are as minis.
