At last, the pin samples have arrived! I've got lots to show you!
Here are three of the Crenelated Mutants in all their glory! I'm so pleased with how they've turned out. These pins are made from recycled stainless steel, and each has a solvent-free resin dome. I've chosen green rubber clasps for these 40mm (1.6") pins. As I mentioned in my last update, all of the pins have the origami scorpion back print.
Here's Tetracycline, one of the Antibiotic mini-pins. These are the smaller 20mm (0.8") size. I think they look almost like polished stone! These are stainless steel with black rubber clasps. (The Erratic mini-pins will be the same.)
Another look at the Animal Akademia pin, now that I have it in my hands. I'm still keen to make this in brass rather than stainless steel to make it really special! In this case, it will have a gold rubber clasp.
And lastly, the Key-to-the-Castle Keychains have arrived! These are 65mm (2.6") size and are a Thank You for Returning Backers.
I will set orders to lock with 48 hours notice now. You'll still be able to change your shipping address, and I won't charge cards for shipping fees until I'm ready to ship the orders, around the end of April - fingers crossed!
The pre-order store will be open for another couple of days in case you weren't able to back the project during Pintopia.
My next job is to place the final order for the stickers and pins with the manufacturer, and to design the backing cards! Exciting!
