Alright, sorry for the delays! I have the next branch pin for you;
The snow fairy, or the long tailed tit, on a maple branch. Apparently during winter, icicles form on the maple trees that contain some of the sap, and these little birds will lick them for the sugar content.
My Nan had a whole thing for Japanese maple trees, I have one from her garden in front of my house still. They're such divas, its only sheer stubborness that has kept that thing alive til now. They're sooo beautiful though, some of the fancy variations have really pretty leaves. The red ones will always be my favourite.
The mini pins for this tier are maple leaves - either one by itself at 1.5", or a set of two that are 1" each. I couldn't decide so we're having both options - both will be selectable as mini pin choices in your surveys.
I also made a new quicksand/shaker pin design for this campaign - the Picture Window quicksand pin (pictured twice so it doesn't blow up huge). This is an add-on only pin, you'll need to add it to your pledge seperately. You can do that now, or at the survey stage if you want to. The whole light blue window area will be one quicksand segment, containing glitter and pieces shaped like red maple leaves. That's the Fall/Autumn colourway. If we reach 10k, then we'll also have the Spring colourway - that one should have flower or flower petal shapes instead. You'll be able to choose between them in the survey, if we do unlock it.
That cat is based on my baby, Demsdale. 1 pin = 1 churu. (I jest, I jest). While my windows are not that grand, she spends a lot of time laying just like that, watching the birds and catching the sun, right above where I work.
I love that I got to make this collection so personal.
The story section has been updated with the new pins, mouse colourways and the new stretch goals. Everything that's listed has already been started, even if the artwork isn't finished yet. I'm not promising anything more until all of that is done. Feel free to continue to make suggestions though! I've definitely worked a few of them in :D.
I think that's it for now! There's one week left, there should be more previews on the way. Check back soon ~
