Hi Everyone!! I finally have updates for you all. Thank you so much for your patience so far while we navigate this project.
First off I want to apologize for the delays with shipping. I did not take into account when I was setting all of this up how much longer it takes to make a massive double layered pin compared to the 1.5-2 inch pins we normally order. I should hopefully be getting finished photos of them soon, but until then I have some shot of them in production. This is the base layer in their raw state but I'm so excited to see it all put together.
For the other pins, I got some great finished photos from them as well! Look how good they look!!! I'm redoing the Aquamarine crystal pin as it was supposed to have a stained glass effect for the crystals but ended up with just transparent enamel instead. I actually really like the effect so I'm going to have these available in the future as an alternate, but I'm remaking them for this project to be inline with the original vision.
Also got a pic of the collab pins I did with Meg's Pintopia project and they also look so sparkly and amazing.
The sticker sheets are also taking a little longer than expected as it is part of a huge group order with a few other artists, but they should be arriving in the next day or so. I'll post photos of them as well once they are in their packaging.
Addresses have been locked, but I will been posting another update a week before anything gets sent out to you all in case you need to update your shipping information. I'll do second reminder as well, just to make sure no one misses it and do what I can to make sure orders get to the right houses.
I've learned a lot while putting this campaign together and I really appreciate everyone's support while I work through the issues. It's been really tough, but also so much fun and has given me so much inspiration for future campaigns!
Hi everyone! I will have a bigger update coming soon, but for now I wanted to let you all know that all of the pins have gone through the final designing process and is officially in production! Keep an eye out in the next few weeks for in-production photos and a more in depth update.
Thank you all for your continued support and patience!
Hi everybody! So far I've had 87% of you complete your surveys, but there are still a few that have yet to finish them. I'm planning to lock orders on the 21st and have final item counts for this round of production, so I'd like to make sure no one's orders are delayed if I have to order more items later.
Please take a moment to make sure you've chosen your items and confirmed your shipping address by the 21st so you can get your rewards! Reach out if you have any questions or need help.
I'll post another update before items start going out just in case anyone has moved and needs to change their shipping address.
Alright! All of the bugs with the surveys have been fixed (hopefully) and have gone out to all backers! So take a moment when you can to fill them out, and also double check that your payments are correct as there are still 14 people with failed payments. I was guilty of this myself on the campaigns I backed.
The Pre-Order Store is also live if you missed your chance to back initially.
Thank you again to everyone that took an interest in my pins!
It's taken me a bit to figure out as this is my first campaign, but I finally got everything set up and am ready to send out a Smoke Test. Once I get the last few things set up, I'll be sending out the smoke test to a small handful of backers to make sure things are working fine and then will send out the rest.
I've also sent in my designs to my manu but made a few updates to the designs that will also be reflected in the surveys. The candlestick design is now an antiqued bronze instead of the black nickel since I feel like it gives it more of that old vintage fell and will show off the details better. I also adjusted the Lovers Eye pin color scheme and added a ring to the top to give people the option to wear it as a pendant as well! I am toying with the idea of making a version without the pin posts and have a full necklace with chain option in the future, depending on interest.
I'm so excited to see the whole set in real life! My manu is really good about sending photos during production, so I will for sure share some BTS photos with everyone as I get them!
That's about all from me for now! Keep an eye on your inboxes for the surveys coming soon!
