Project Update: #7 - ✦⟡✦ June Monthly Update ✦⟡✦
Happy Monday Everyone!
Sorry for being a week late on the monthly update. I wanted to include a big update about the enamel pins before publishing this.
———ENAMEL PINS———
Production is finally starting! It took a long time going back and forth on what changes needed to be made for the manufacturer and me. The 'biggest' changes are primarily with the 'Enemies to Lovers' and 'Dahlia Flame Sword' Pins. Inside the design where the white holes are, there will be recessed metal. The main design is still there and is barely altered! If the pins were a lot larger, the holes could have worked.
See the following two images for reference.

Doing recessed metal instead of having the areas filled with connected raised metal will still give it that flame detail pop up I wanted that is true to the original design :) There are also some areas where the recessed metal (in these plus other designs) that are put down to help support the pin edges. You probably won't notice it because of the pins' actual size.
If you are no longer satisfied with having the Enemies to Lovers Medium Pin OR Dahlia Flame Sword Large Pin as your choice(s), please email me within the three few weeks so we can switch your pin choice(s).
———PAPER PRODUCTS———
Proofs have been made and the main sticker order has been shipped. I ordered some sample stickers of the Lotus Flower Book before doing the main order and am really happy with how they look!
———POSSIBLE LOCAL PICKUP———
There is a chance that I may be vending at specific conventions in late summer/early fall. Once I have a confirmed booth placement and the items are ready, local pickups may be a thing. Sorry, I currently haven't applied to anything in northern California or out of state for this year! I will confirm this possibility in a future update and give instructions on how you can select local pickup and NOT be charged for shipping if you pick it up in-person at a convention/event.
Shipping has not yet been locked and charged.
———NEXT UPDATE———
✦ Expect the next update to be in the beginning of July. I most likely won't have the pins finished but the stickers should have arrived and be ready. I am hoping to have update pictures of the enamel pins and bookmarks.
Have a great rest of your month and thank you for taking the time to keep up with my project updates :)
