We've firmly passed the $28k stretch goal, and as of this update, we're $1,761 away from the next stretch goal: 2 new dangling pins! The plan originally was just 1 pin, but with this project's theme, it seemed proper to have a new pin for each type of metal.🌗
2 new dangling pins available at $30,333: one copper, one black nickel
Dark Mirror Visitor: Consult the dark mirror when all other options have failed.
This pinfeatures black nickel, and screen printed details on the tentacles and mirror surface.
Grasping Dead Grimoire: Necromancy is fun again!
This pinfeatures copper, screen printed eyes, and glow-in-the-dark hands.
With 8 days left, I feel pretty confident we can hit this goal, so 2 new pledge tiers have been added:
A new highest tier that includes all initial pins + all current stretch goals. The initial 10 pin collection + 6 small pins, the infernal teacup, and the 2 new dangling pins. A total of 19 pins!! You can choose whichever standard, dangling, and small pins you like.
A pledge tier for 6 dangling pins. Choose any dangling pins you like.
With the $30,333 stretch goal, both the Mirror and the Grimoire designs will be available as an option for dangling pins. This includes all pledge levels and add-ons (that include dangling pins) and these do not require an extra add-on purchase.
These 2 also bring the total of dangling pins to 6, which matches the number of standard pins, and the number of small pins... 6, 6, and 6 😱
New Stickers ⭐
Spooky cuties
I've finished the chibi artwork that I started day 1 of this campaign. These cuties have now been collected into a new sticker sheet! When adding a sticker sheet to your pledge, you can choose between the original sticker sheet featuring all of the initial pin designs, or this new, colorful chibi-centered design.
5x7 Sticker sheet design #2. Featuring Foxglove, Salesman, bats, the Teapot, and the Infernal Teacup.
The "pre-launch follower" freebie is still the original "all initial pin designs" sticker sheet and there will not be an option to choose your sticker sheet, to keep the Pledge Manager a bit simpler.
Small Pin Set Clarification
You can choose any small pin designs you like for the "small pin set" add-on! You do not need to get 1 of each small pin. Feel free to get 6 green bottles, or 3 of each cameo, etc. I figured there was no reason why backers wouldn't be able to choose—other than it'll make the survey longer. The language on that add-on will be made more clear.
New Sample Photos
I posted some manufacturer sample photos before launch, but I now have some Teapot and Teacup pins in hand! Today I took some nicer photos of these designs to give you a sense of what the pins will look like—especially the copper plating + its color scheme. :)
The teacup .75" mini pin and 2.25" teapot pin.
They're so cute!!
What's Left: The Salesman illustration will need final tweaks, and the Miss Foxglove illustration needs to be completed. The sketch will be shared here soon, followed by the final artwork. 🙌
That's it! If you made it this far, thank you, and please consider spreading the word of the campaign to help us through the slow phase of Pintopia. :D Appreciate your support as always!
