New poll for cross-collab backers + current progress
Hi all! I am updating a little early, because I decided I can safely add all of the "3.8k stretch goal" add-ons at 3.7k. That puts us at $100 away at the moment, though I kno...

All individual paw add-ons are now available at 15qty!
As the title says! So we are on the way to unlocking this option at $3k:
Thank you! šI for real won't update again until we (presumably) hit the 3.8k goal to talk abou...
Firstly, martian paw will stay black nickel since the votes were not unanimous!
Survey sending is still on track for about 2 weeks from now.
I got the final quote for paw pins and know the exact quote for the paw cookie badges, so those will be ordered the day of the receipt of funds! I still need the quote for the paw sticker sheets, however.
I decided I will also be adding these 2 septum ring designs to the preorder store:
Please keep in mind that the drop on these is actually shorter on real noses, the septums on these silicone models don't have any kind of ridge in them.
I've had them up on my site for a while, but I just don't have the social media reach to get them seen by enough people that way. Each is about 15% funded so far. Thorns has 3 colorways possible - 18k gold, rhodium (silver), and gunmetal (black). The sakura is only available to back as rose gold and black. Getting these funded too through here would be an absolute miracle and help tremendously with my final year and onwards.
Any backers who also back from the preorder store will have their shipping combined if you want everything shipped together! Jewelry will likely take longer to arrive than the pins, however.
First: please vote on the attached poll if you have an opinion on it/are interested in that colorway! I'll also email all who already backed for the alien paw before the month ends, so please keep an eye out for that! If it is not 100% unanimous by the people who actually have pledged for it so far (I have absolutely no way of knowing if the person who voted already is a current pledge), the metal color will stay black nickel, don't worry.
Second: Please check out my collab partner's preorder store and spread the word if you know anyone who wanted something that was still locked! I still have some ducks to get in a row for mine to be published, more on that below.
In the last few hours of the campaign, we did pass 3.7k and the matcha and chocolate matcha badges were unlocked as add-ons. They will also be on the surveys and preorder store! So will the 4" freebie sticker for backers of 5+ pins, it will be finished by the time those go live. All add-on limits for paws were also raised to 20, making a total of 30 available for each individual choice colorway. That extends to surveys, but individual choice will NOT be an option in the preorder store!
In the survey, I will ask people if they want to be charged immediately upon filling it out, or later when I plan to lock all of them (likely late April). Finances fluctuate, so please pick which option will be easiest for you to keep track of, I don't want to inadvertently cause any stress down the line. This is a new thing I'm testing out, however, so I may not get everyone who says "right now" within 24hrs of their response every time, depending on how delayed your survey response is after they're sent out.
I will likely send out surveys mid-March. My online shop is closed thru March while I try to improve my health back to a better baseline and also fulfill the Pintober rewards (half of those pins have shipped to me, half are still being worked on...). I also have to do more writing for my video game in the meantime, I don't have another convention until Colossalcon Prime at the end of May so I'm trying to take advantage of the "downtime."
Back to preorder store...there are a few things I am adding to preorder store AND add-ons, like mentioned above and also liquid shakers, but I'll have the cat paw septums available onlythere as a stretch goal.
Since they won't be on surveys, if their goal isn't met, it is very easy to just not charge anyone for them. If they do get funded, it doesn't mean you have to be charged shipping twice if you are an original campaign backer and a preorder store backer, I can combine your shipping easily.
I've opted to unlock the freebie sticker for all backers who get 5+ pins early. This applies to any combination of 5 pins available in this campaign (counting the non-paw pins available in add-ons!). Here is the nearly-finished draft (finally): It has both an anti-AI filter and a watermark on it...sorry. It's not finished yet and I'm a little insecure about revealing WIPs these days.
I'd say it's 90% done, I want to add more highlights and maybe even change what's being beamed up? If you have a suggestion other than a heart, please leave a comment below!! The light beam will be glittery holographic in the final, real-life product (please refer to the paw planet sticker to see how that finish looks).
The "rings" here are a translucent purple also, so the beam would look very similar to the effect visible on this sticker.
As mentioned previously, if we get to 3.7k those rewards will be unlocked then, not 3.8k. I can afford to do that, especially if there is a lower rate of errored pledges post-campaign than expected.
"Void" paw pin is also available again as backers' choice ahead of that due to cancelations, there are 2 add-on slots available! As a reminder, the preorder store post-campaign will not have individual pin options available, only gacha spins, individual choice is exclusive to this campaign's duration.
Hi! I was just curious what color the opals are on the rings? The silver one looks more purple and the gold looks more pink, so I thought Iād ask to clarify :)
