Freebies and collaborations galore!
Hey y'all,
We're only two weeks away from the launch of this project and Pintopia 2026! I've been working on my campaign page and am excited to give everyone a preview of th...
I use a different email addresses for Kickstarter and Backerkit. I wanted to do the 'save on shipping by combining my two orders -- do I need to do anything special to make that happen?
We're officially two weeks after the campaign ended, which means it's time for backer surveys! I'll be sending them out today and that's where you'll select your rewards, make upgrades, purchase additional add-on items, and pay shipping fees. If your payment failed during the initial charge today is the last day to fix it.
During the campaign I offered the "Librarian Tier", which allowed backers to curate the collection by choosing a new genre of Mini Bookshelf pin to unlock. One person pledged to be a Librarian and the new genre is... MUSICALS! I'm personally very excited about this shelf and it contains references to six different shows, with an emphasis on stories inspired by fairy tales (which the Librarian loves).
This Mini Bookshelf pin will be available to everyone as a reward or add-on item during the survey and pre-order store. If you backed the Complete Collection tier and additional Mini Bookshelf Pin has already been added to your pledge to cover it.
If you're also excited about the Musicals genre I have a Broadway inspired upcoming project: Musicals Mini Pins!
Extra Unlocks from the Campaign
The campaign ended with a few stretch goals left to unlock. After revisiting funds raised, production costs, etc. I've decided to go ahead and fund these options for you. This means the Cinema Deluxe Bookshelf Pin, Young Adult Deluxe Bookshelf Pin, and two new colorways of the Bookwyrm will be available during the survey.
Upcoming Project
Lastly, I wanted to tell y'all about my next project! Southern Pride will be an enamel pin series celebrating the South's resilient diversity - in people and in nature. The collection will include some of my favorite critters from the Southeastern United States and each critter will be available in multiple colorways inspired by LGBTQ+ flag colors.
This project will be a part of the Pin Forge Collective's Pin of Pride event and will include freebie items for backers who support 3+ participating projects. I'm also partnering with Floating Frogs' isopod themed "Pride"sopods campaign to offer cross-collaboration freebies for backers of both projects.
Additionally, I'm partnering with my sibling, Pinyons Art, to offer their hand sculpted magnetic isopod brooches as an add-on item! Because these are limited quantity priority will go to backers of my campaign and any leftover will be available for individual purchase during the pre-order store. They've been working hard to sculpt the lil guys and this will be the first time they're selling their artwork.
That's all for now. Please fix any failed payments and check your inboxes for surveys later today. I'm excited to see everyone's item selection and gather counts for my manufacturer to begin production.
We're in the home stretch with this campaign! I wanted to give a quick update about poll results, new add-on items, and where we're at with campaign progress. I also wanted to share that I will be bringing all this literary goodness to New York City for BookCon in April!
The votes are in... meet the new Bookwyrm colorways!
The two new Bookwyrm pin colorways are pastel rainbow and forest green! These will become available to backers when the campaign reaches $20,000. Since ALL backers are automatically receiving a Bookwyrm pin this means you would get to choose your colorway. Additional Bookwyrm pins are now available as add-on items.
New Add-On Items
There are new items with content from this campaign AND the 2025 Bookshelves for Bibliophiles campaign in the add-ons section! The reusable sticker book from last year is making a comeback in addition to some new book review post-it notes. I'm also making all 25 Bookcase designs from both projects into professionally made 4"x6" prints.
Campaign Progress
ALL new genres have been unlocked and special effects "Deluxe" versions are funded for 8 of them. This includes the Deluxe Music Bookcase, which will be sparkly AND have a magnetic hat accessory for mama opossum (I'm really excited about her hat).
That's all the updates for now. I'm looking forward to seeing where this campaign lands after the end-of-campaign turbulance!
This Pintopia is way too big and is causing me stress. Will there be time to add more items a few paycheks down the road? I want 3 or 4 shelves but just can't afford it now.
