Hey hey ~

I got the sample shipment back so I have some pictures. Unfortunately I don't have my equipment right now so they're a little rough, sorry! There were a few questions in the comments of the last update about the surveys, so I'll add the answers here too. 

Cat skulls. Don't mind the lighting, they are exactly the same just in two different sizes. I wanted to directly compare the difference before our next project so I just decided to offer both. 

The physalis branch pin. You can see the metal parts here. The branches and the shadowed/back parts are all metal. This is a theme for all the branch pins. 

Physalis mini pin. They're more see through in person, its just very hard to photograph!

Purple Iris/harvest mouse. Its come out a beautiful colour, I really like this one in person much more than the art. 

Violet Carpenter free-bee. Its soooo hard to photograph this pin but they're so pretty. Every one is a different colour as the heat treatment makes the rainbow different each time. 

And a WIP preview of the picture window shaker pin (twice so the image isn't huge). This still has weeks of work to go T_T. But its looking great so far. 

The rough estimate for when we're charging cards is... Hopefully around December, but no promises. There are nearly 50 different designs to order, and I don't know how long the manufacturer will take to make them all. Now that I'm happy with the sizes/finishes I chose, I'll get getting the big order in asap - but its going to take weeks, realistically. The quicksand pins are notoriously slow, its why I ordered them early.

Otherwise, that's it for now. A lot of work to do in the background and no much to update for a while, I should think. Feel free to leave any questions here though!
