I have an update on the status of the pin remakes: 2 pin designs are finished and I received them today—the 1" Cosmic Eye and the 1.75" Looking Glass design. I'm still inspecting and carding them, but so far, the pins look really lovely. The gold plating is more subtle on these pins, and I quite like it.
Cosmic Eye
Looking Glass
I've run into very few flawed pins so far, and I'm feeling optimistic about this batch. The Cosmic Eye especially had a lot of issues at my last manufacturer, so it's a relief to see them looking so nice! Of course, there are many more designs on the way, but it's a good start, to be sure.
My rep said that the factory will be on a Fall Holiday this week, but the rest of the pins should be shipping "shortly after the October holiday winds up." Fingers crossed they'll be along very soon and I can get started on fulfillment this month!
I'll keep you updated as the rest of the pins come in, and post an update before cards are charged and addresses are locked.
Thank you as usual for your patience. I'm really looking forward to wrapping this project up and getting these pins to you!
