HEllo everyone!
I've put my order in for the pins! very exciting hehe :>

For those of you that asked to be charged right away ill be doing that on FRIDAY!

For those of you who asked to be charged later this will be when pins are ready to be shipped out to you, obviously therell be updates before then.

In an art related note i did change the freebie pin returning backers will get! After i looked at the bagged fish again i just wasnt quite happy with it? So after having a look around for inspo i stumbled up on the fish inspired/fish shaped wind charms!

So this is the new design! The final pin will be gold plated with glitter in the different goldfish colours! 

Thank you all again for your support<3 

Hello everyone! Thank you all for the quick responses on the surveys!  65% have responded so far which for the timeframe is banging!

I love making pie charts looking at the trends in whats ordered so lets have a snoop!

Of the Base Campaign pins the most popular is Freshly Chopped! this was the first pin designed (2nd was fish head) so im not shocked, it just works! Next is Soy Sauce? Which im so pleased with! i havent done liquid filled pins for so i am exxcitedd to see them!!

From the Add-ons by far the most popular pick is the Mermaid ver2, she was a late edition to the line up as i remembered i wanted to redo her and it seemed like the best time!

For those who havent seen her shes a redesign of my old swinging mermaid pin from my mermay campaign many moons ago now! Shes a bit bigger and more detailed but holds the same concept! Her two backing posts are on her torso/head so her tail can swing freely! Shes already unlocked as an add-on (we needed 20 ordered and thats been smashed)!

A little bit on tariffs, for those that don't know I'm based in the UK! currently this means you might receive 10% tariffs on your order if by the time these ship this is still in place. Currently the UK is in the lowest tier for this so the vast majority of you might see like .. 70p style tariffs, IF they even happen. 

I understand its a big mess and confusion right now, so i wont make a hard statement on it until we know fully what the landscape will look like 

EEe Thank you all so much!! 

We closed on just under 4k, and as always i am blown away by how many people support me!!! 

I see someone last minute backed my custom pin tier as well!! if you can contact me on your preferred platform (i'm maybelsart on Insta/Tumblr/Bluesky and business email is [email protected]) thatd be amazing as i cant dm yoU!

I've done a preliminary look and collab pin wise between me and arcane whispers about 175 of you backed us both! Which is insane!! 

I'm working on the survey side this weekend so expect smoke tests come monday/tuesday and then the rest of the surveys once most of those have returned! 

For extra add-ons so far i've got 2 patches! Born to Die and a patch version of the Fish head! And i'm also offering a sticker pack with most (but not all) of the pin designs, and im gonna draw some up to add more in. Theyll be vinyl, with a variety of effects (glitter, pixie dust, holo etc) 

A reminder that TRACKING can also be purchased as an ADD-ON if you want it!

On an unrelated note, i am based in the UK! From what i understand the tariffs to the USA are 10%. In my head these work sort of like our customs in the UK where you are responsible and charged up on arrival, but i guess things are sort of still in limbo so we'll see? 

Once again thank you all for the support! 

I've been away at convention this weekend and come back to my pc pooping itself out which is a joy. 

Luckily I do all my art on iPad so I haven't lost any files but boy is It stressful. 

Gonna try and get some stretchgoal art finished today! 

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend 💗

Hello Everyone!

Thank you for the support so far, as always i am blown away by the amount of support i receive!

i've got two product related updates, first up is a small stretch goal, potentially!

PATCHES??

I haven't done patches before, but i think they really fit the vibe of the campaign? And It's something different!

these are some thoughts so far, the life cycle one i need to finish but yeah. SORT OF idea times.

I have also the returning backer freebie pin done!

It'll be 1.5 inches with White dyed enamel and I'm hoping to get stained-glass/clear enamel to plop the fish into!
