Hello all,

There are just 3 backers left to get their pins, once they get their surveys in.
That means I am calling us done. I'll keep reaching out to them to try and get those final 3 handled.

But for now, we're free!

All the new pins on this project are now available for direct purchase from my webstore! So if you missed the campaign, you can still grab them there. And that means no more updates here.

And don't forget that our June project for pride themed pins will be coming around in just two months time.

So see some of you there-- and as always, thank you for making this possible!

Hello folks,

Yesterday, I got everyone who was ready, charged their shipping, and got their orders packed and shipped.
There are now 30 days for the rest of you to get your surveys done, to fix errors on your card charges, to get your pins!

There are 11 people who haven't done their surveys at all. They need to get those done by 4/23 or their orders will be cancelled, their payment to the project considered a donation.

There are currently 8 people locking down and soon to be charged for their orders that got in just after I exported folks' orders yesterday, who will ship out yet this week.

And there are 6 folks who have not paid for their orders yet, with their cards erroring. Please get that fixed if or when you can, or if you don't, it will be cancelled out when the project closes next month.

And there are 72 whose orders entered the mail yesterday!

So that's us y'all, I'll check and ship orders on Friday when I see them submitted until the project closes for good! For now, enjoy the pins as they arrive, and look forward to the June pride merch drop!

Hello friends,

So while I am waiting for three more designs to get to me (1000 Goblin, Not AI, and No ICE pins), I have everything else, I have the packaging, and as you are about to experience, I have surveys flying out. Well, Smoke Test first (5% of surveys). Tomorrow when I see that those surveys go through just fine, then I'll go ahead and send the rest of the surveys.

That means that I can be shipping orders as early as this weekend for people who get their surveys done tomorrow, then charged for shipping Friday. Orders that include one of those 3 designs still not in my hands will have to wait of course, but if you only ordered the other items, I can get your order moving in the next 7 days!

And good rush for me, too-- as I have another Pin project already planned for June!!

So let's get a move on, shall we? I think you've all waited enough for your awesome pins.

Look for survey emails today for 5% of you, and then tomorrow for the rest! I will be charging shipping costs, and any extra items you tag on, each Friday as I ship orders!

Thanks,

Hello!

Well, thanks to all of you, we can call the first Pub Gob Trinkets solo campaign a rousing success! With 98 people and over $6200 raised, we are now seeing what the first steps will be for this division of Publishing Goblin have to offer.
I love sharing numbers, so let's take a look at what we've got here:

Items Ordered
52 | New Stained Glass Tarot Pins
32 | Filler Tarot Set
26 | Filler Trinket Set

50 or so of the collaborative mini pin set between Aimee and I are going out to folks, and an estimated 25 of the freebie Death of the Oracle mini pins will be going out as well.

We are also seeing 21 ART NOT AI and 29 NO ICE pins joining them, which is great considering these ones are brand new in this project as well. 

The new thing with the Seasonal Pins is seeing 13 Autumn Goblins and 12 Winter Goblins finding new homes, while the newest item type of all, the pin banners, are seeing a combined 41 claimed.

In trying a bunch of new pin designs, new things with the banners, and with the limited edition seasonal pins, I can see fun new options for the future. I will probably do limited runs of 50 for the limited editions instead of 100, and I will be a bit more patient about ordering pins ahead of time. I ordered our sets already because I wanted to have them before the Chinese New Year shut down here in February, but now I see I have over-ordered a fair bit, basing numbers on the previous tarot-style pin project.

But that's alright, we will have more to sell into the future. I'm very proud of all these designs, and can't wait to get them out to you.

For now, sit tight! I'll get shipping prices set in the system soon, send out surveys, and get shipping all charged before we shoot our items out into the world.

Tata for now,

... What's that? I was overly certain that we would fund so I went ahead and ordered the pins ahead of time to avoid the February factory closes?? (And probably too many sets at that??) I based the order on what was sold on the first tarot pin set project, which made about 2x the money this one is at now. So I definitely over-ordered, but that just means I won't have to re-manufacture the sets anytime soon.

But they are here in person and they look amazing! Sincerely I love them all so much, especially the free collab pin set we have on offer between me and Aimee! So shiny.

You can also finally see how BIG the seasonal pins are! They're almost as tall as the tarot pins and much wider with the ears. And they are laser etched with their numbering out of 100. The Autumnal Gob Pin here is #34/100, which is great.

Also got pictures of the banners! They look delightful, and have room for all the pins in this project and more. So I highly suggest grabbing those! They look a little small here, but they are 10" tall and 6" across! I'm excited to have them in hand.

And lastly, I'm noodling on the 1000 Goblin pin some more. Let me know what you think should go in the loops of the infinity scroll. I was going to do flowers or some kind of bouquet, but I'm not sure anymore. Also have some work to do on the goblin head of course still. If they head is staying that big, I will need to make the hands larger for sure haha.

That's all for now-- thanks for being here friends, and don't forget to share the project if you have time, space, and the desire. Always happy to bring new things to life!
