Hi everyone! Thank you again for your support on this project. I'm so happy I was able to make these pins and I think they all turned out amazing. :D I just wrapped up the final shipments which will go out in the mail tomorrow.

You have until November 1st to complete your survey or send me the payment for shipping. If you do not before November your pledge to this campaign will be considered a donation. I cannot guarantee I will have all the items in stock once these products go live in my shop so this is your final deadline to fix your payment errors or send in your completed surveys.

It's been a crazy couple of weeks sorting and mailing everyone's packages. If I missed any items in your order, please email me at [email protected] with your order number/backerkit email and which item is missing from your order. I just simply cannot keep up with random dms and comments on various platforms and it is much easier for me to keep track of issues through email. Thank you for understanding!

If you wanted any other pin from this collection, the remaining pins will be added to my shop next week on Friday October 25th. Keep in mind I will not be offering mystery pins and all the pins will be priced at their regular price, not the prices they were in the backerkit campaign.

I will be partaking in Pintopia 3! This happens in January 23rd. My project will be pin sets of cute baby animals and their mommas. Here is the link to the project if you want to follow it! I hope to see you again in a few months when it goes live ~


I am still working on Dragonpillar and Moth Dragon plushies so keep your eyes peeled for those, I will most likely have them up for preorder on my website sometime in December.

I can't believe this update took this long, but here we are! All 3,200 pins, the freebie keychains, and 1,350 stickers are in hand. I appreciate all your patience with everything as production took a bit longer than anticipated.

I have quality checked every pin and have noted down some common issues.
Comet Moth: Typical issues with this pin is the long tails can bend easily. I expect this to happen during shipping. If you are gentle with the pin, you can reposition them easily back straight.
Tiger Moth: I realized while grading some screenprint was added around the eye. This is on every single pin and not a defect. The screenprint around the eye matches the color of his face so it gives him sort of a scarred eye look. I think it's a little cool!
Stained Glass: Some of the fills in the wings are a bit under filled. I found this to be the case with a lot of the stained glass pins. This is not a defect, just a thing that happens with the material.

Next week I will be sending out final emails to lock your address in your backerkit survey. Please make sure all your information is correct. If I get mail returned to me with incorrect addresses, you will have to pay for shipping a second time.


I'm excited for everyone to get their pins! They all turned out gorgeous  🥰 

We are at the final stretch for pin production with one pin left! I am expecting all the production to be complete by next month. I will take some time quality checking each pin before I send out notifications to lock addresses. Thank you all for being so patient with this process! I can't wait for these dragon babies to arrive at your door.

I apologize for the silence but hello!! I'm SO thrilled to come to you today with news. They have finalized my samples and we are ready to go into full production! Here are some videos and photos that I got yesterday so you can see how beautiful the stained glass/gradient effects turned out.

I still plan to make the muslin moth a stained glass pin as well but it wont require a gradient effect on the wings which means I don't need to wait to sample it, it can go ahead into production.

Some more updates ~

We got in the finished pin banners!

Also~ I know it doesn't really pertain to this campaign but I finalized the plushie for the lunar dragonpillar baby! he is very friend-shaped and can sit on his little butt -- isn't he sooo cute? ;u; I just received this final sample today!

Seeing as the samples took a few months to work out, I expect this project will be taking a little while for production. I absolutely appreciate your patience as pins are mostly hand-made and my factory is really good about quality. I hope these photos show how amazing the pins will be!! I'm just as excited as you are to have them in my hands!

I do understand it's not easy to back a project and there be long stretches of no news so always feel free to email me at any time if you have questions at [email protected].

Thank you all for being so great at responding to surveys so far. I sent them over the past few days and I haven't I haven't been well enough to sit at my pc to type out an update. 😭 

 

✨ We are at 63% surveys completed!  ✨ 

We do have a few weeks to fill these out so please feel free to take your time or adjust your pledges as needed. If you didn't get an email regarding your survey, you should be able to see it when you log in to backerkit.

However if you are having any issues please feel free to reach out to me at any time [email protected] - I'll do my best to answer! I'm still recovering from a bad cold so I'm sorry if I'm not 100% when replying to your emails (I know a couple of you have dealt with my horrible typos already).

In case you missed the crowdfunding project or if you have friends who missed out on it, I have opened my preorder store! This store will be open all month long.

Once I get to around 90% completed I will start putting orders in, I anticipate this happening at the end of the month. This is the part we all dread - the wait for production. I'm still waiting on my sample orders but the silence right now is due to factories being closed for a Chinese holiday but I hope my next update will be to show off some pretty finished sample pins~
