So excited to share that pins have arrived! Here they are...
The original 3: Renaissance, Baroque and Victorian.
And the 4 add-ons: Magnolia, Dahlia, Hibiscus and Gladiolus
Forgive the bad pictures (much harder to take pictures of pins than I thought!), but I am so happy with the quality of these pins. I will be shipping these little beauties out starting this week. Can't wait to share them with you all!
I am so happy to say that pins are officially in production! After lots of back and fourth with multiple manufactures I have found a company who I feel will make my pins high quality and the truest replica of my designs. The manufacturer says 4 week turn around time, and I plan on shipping as soon as I get them in hand. I will continue to keep you all updated.
Quick update on the manufacturing process. I had been working with a company for awhile, and was at the point where I was very pleased with everything and ready to start manufacturing. They recently informed me that the quote they gave was wrong and the actual cost would be double what was initially discussed. So, unfortunately I am back to shopping around with different companies in hopes of finding better costs, but still quality work. I will keep you all updated as the process moves forward.
Hello Backers! Quick update on the pin process. I'm currently in talks with a manufacturer and hope to be in production within the next week or two. Very excited to finally see these pins take shape. I will let you all know as soon as they are in my hand...and soon after, yours!
Hello everyone 👋🏼 The time has come to make your pin selections! A few months ago I did a poll on other flowers you'd like to see as pins. It was a near 4-way tie so I just designed all 4 pins and will make them available as add-ons! All are 1.25" hard enamel with gold plating. Here's a sneak peek:
Magnolia
Gladiolus
Hibiscus
Dahlia
