Sorry for the delayed update, I was sick all week right after Easter and family meetings 😭
All the artworks were approved and are already in production. For once the most tricky wasn't the teacup design but the trident ! 😂
📣 As always we want to be the more transparent with you so here are the little changes we had to make :
- "Under the Sea - Charm" : We had to enlarge the design, instead of 2.5cm it will be 3.5cm (including the ring) so we don't lose the details after the engraving step.
We have the approved samples of the mini mushroom (the most adanced design so far as it was the 1st artwork to be approved as we already have the mold) :
📩 There is still 6 missing surveys !
🚨 DISCLAIMER : As you know we didn't set up the shipping yet as it will be closer to fulfillment for most accurate prices and to help on the holiday season so we won't charge the cards for the additional add-ons / shipping and US fees for now but closer to JULY.
👉 Of course we will make an update before charging the cards as we always do. Once we will have a clear timeline of the production status and fulfillment so please make sure you have the funds when the time comes as we are trusting the remaining backers to actually pay for their rewards... 🥺
Next update will be the status of production of each design and more pictures 😍
Thank you so much for all the answers on the surveys it's always so nice to see what designs are chosen 👀 We are now missing only 14 surveys so we have enough data to know which quantity to order for each designs thank you 💝 (Artworks were already sent to the factory)
Here is the top winners for pins and mini pins 🏆 :
- Set : Animals - Surface
- Pin : Deep Water Tea - Pin : Milky Way Guide - Pin : Moon Carrier
- Mini Pin : Pingüe Minor - Mini Pin : Celestial Blueberry Macaron & Nebula Dragonfly (same quantity at the moment)
- New designs Preorder : Nebula Guide & the blind variant = for the blind variant we decided to make 2 different variants so they can form a new duo ! 🐉
Also thank you for the honest answers we got :
- 126/146 answers voted for mini pins and pins for their favorite freebie during a campaign, mini pins is n°1 with 4 answers more than pins ! - Silver & Gold plating are competing for first place closely followed by black nickel (5/6 votes less)
For the vast majority, the response is positive regarding the cross-collab freebie/feature 🤗
So happy to see that the "Eau de Lune" is competing with some other designs and for the love on the new set of jewels ! 🥺💖
Thank you so much for unlocking the Cosmic Shark Whale too 😭💖
Almost there : We are 1 order away to unlock Amanita Galactica Mushroom 🙏
Unfortunately we had to remove the Flamingo design and the seahorse as well as it's far to be unlocked but we may try our luck in another opportunity 🤗
(We are still waiting the last minute for the Celestial Frog & Mushroom) 🙈
Note : This mean you will NOT BE CHARGED for it as it will be removed from your order once we delete it 🙌
We are grateful for each pledge we got and the support shown during the campaign and even now with the new designs and goodies thank you so much for being part of our art journey and small business 👑
💸 DISCLAIMER : As you know we didn't set up the shipping yet as it will be closer to fulfillment for most accurate prices and to help on the holiday season so we won't charge the cards for the additional add-ons / shipping and US fees for now but closer to June.

🚨 For the US pledges, you can see an estimation fee for "state tax", it's NOT THE STATE TAX but the CURRENT TARIFF FEE ! It's not definitive but the accurate estimate as we try our best to keep it at this rate, hopefully we can get rid of them at some point 🙏😭
Thank you so much for your support and quick answers we are already at 79% of surveys ! We are waiting to get 85-90% ideally to be confident about the right quantity to order for each design 🙏
We are so happy and relieved to see that the surveys went smoothly without issues 💝

All Dragons variants were unlocked very quick thank you so much for the love on these designs, even the limited edition blind variant !! 🥺
We also unlocked the Cosmic Whale Shark which was an awesome surprise thank you for your support 💖

Amanita Galactica Mushroom is currently at 9/15 orders so we have still hope to unlock it ✨
Celestial Guardian Frog is currently at 5/10 orders so we will wait few days more ✨
😔 Probable cancellation :
🚨 Unfortunately these designs are moving very slow and they haven't even reached half of their goal, so this weekend ALL the locked designs will be removed and you will not be charged for them !!

We already sent the artworks and are currently working on them with the factory so hopefully the production can start once we have the exact quantity from the surveys 🤩
Thank you so much for your support and your feedback on our last poll it was really helpful 💝
The first surveys are out now ! We just sent the smoke test (11 backers), if you have an issue or anything please report it to us so we can fix it before sending the survey to everyone. We remain attentive to the good progress of the survey and will be available to answer any inquiries.
Note : If you choose the "Pay Over Time" feature you won't receive the survey until the last "payment" is sent so don't worry to not receive it now ! 🙌
Across the Galak-Sea : 2nd chance and new designs TO UNLOCK now as add-ons once you filled out the survey.

Can't believe we are already at the 2 weeks mark since Pintopia ended ! 😱
We have sent the setup review to backerkit now so once we get their approval we will be able to send the smoke test survey before sending it to everyone next week.
Note : If you choose the "Pay Over Time" feature you won't receive the survey until the last "payment" is sent so don't worry to not receive it now ! 🙌
Backerkit tried to charge the cards for the last time between yesterday and today and we have still 13 failed payment for 667€. The conclusion is : we already unlocked some variants and design from our pocket so we won't unlock anything else before the survey step.
Several designs and new ones are getting a 2nd chance now as add-ons during the survey time and if you didn't back the campaign yet and want a chance to get the pins from this collection we will open the preorder store at the same time we will send the surveys ⚡
If you still want the pins but you couldn't pay yet there will be a LAST opportunity after the surveys, when we will collect the funds for shipping and additional add-ons made during PLEDGE MANAGER
As promised here is a quick sneak peek of new things that we will have to unlock with the surveys among others :
We have also added some new add-ons from our shop to help raise more funds hopefully 🙏
Note : You won't be charged when you fill out the survey but later during mid-production, of course we will make an update ahead of time to let you know exactly when we will charge the remaining funds 💳
