I just got back from a week up at Aspenhearted's studio where with the help of our friend Crys we inspected and graded over 5,000 individual pins and mounted them on their backing cards! Whew. A pretty intense task for a campaign this size, but really nice to see that only a tiny fraction of all the pins were considered "seconds" and not fit for shipping out. Here's a look at the naughty board where we housed the pins that had loose posts or flaws on the metal or the enamel.

Before I left we managed to pack up more than two-thirds of all the orders, and Carrie will be working on getting the rest shipped out over the next week.

When you get your pins, if you look on the reverse, the backstamp will show which pins were designed exclusively by me or by Carrie, and which ones we collaborated on together. We love working together, so if there's anything you might like to see from us in the future, please reach out and let us know!
