PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: Heads up about some pin designs!
Hello everyone!
Sorry for the wait, I have been busy between editing pin proofs and running a Pin Quest campaign!!
All except for 2 pins have been approved and are in production! I do have two things to say about the 2 that are not yet approved, however.
The first one is the more minor issue:
The butterfly dragon has a couple very small spaces that can't be cut out completely for the stained glass. I decided to opt for them to carve it out the best they can in those areas and still use the glass. It should hopefully not change the design too much and still look pretty in the end! I am still working with the manu to fix something with the eyes and will approve it soon after that is done.
The BIGGEST offender, however, is the egg display pin. Now... part of this was completely on me. I did not think about the label part of the pin not being connected to anything. That part will be moved into the top left corner to make sure it is connected, which looks just fine, but I wanted to give a heads up about it. The thing that is giving me more issues is the branches. I have learned that unfortunately the branches do not work with stained glass, so I have been trying to adjust the design to work for stained glass without being TOO different. This is still a work in progress, though, so I will have to come back to share an image of the final design after it has been adjusted, just in case anyone feels like they need to switch pins for any reason.
In the end, nothing should be drastically different, but I wanted to be transparent about the manufacturing process and let everyone know those two had some problems! Sorry about that!
I will be back with another update after the 2 pins are approved so that I can share what the egg display will more accurately look like. In the meantime, the rest of the pins are in the works! :)
Thanks a bunch! ❤️

PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: Surveys are out! / Deadline / Selkies?
Hello again!
I didn't notice any problems with the smoke test surveys, so I have sent out the rest! Make sure to check for yours! (Note: If you don't see an email for it, you can find your surveys on the BK website by clicking your icon, then clicking "Your Pledges & Surveys" and going to the "Your Surveys" tab!)

Please try to have your survey filled out by June 1st, if possible!! I want to have as accurate of a pin count as possible for ordering, and it's also easier overall to not have any stragglers when it comes to surveys!
I will be charging the shipping and add-ons portion at a later date, closer to when pins have arrived! I will make sure to update again here about a week before I do so.
And that's all for dragon updates! I do want to mention before I go that I have another, different project that is in the works for Pin Quest (coming in June), called Song of the Selkies. :) You can check out the teaser page for it here (it has seals...!):

Have a great day, everyone! ^^

PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: Smoke tests are out! :)
Hello again!!
I just sent out smoke tests for surveys, so if you got your survey, please fill it out ASAP so I can keep an eye on if they're working correctly or not! (And if they aren't, feel free to comment here or send me an email!)
After I'm sure that everything is working as intended, I'll be sending the rest of the surveys out.
I would ideally like to have all surveys done by June 1st, 2026, however, if I do not get the rest of the surveys out in the next couple of days, I will push that date back!
Hopes are that everyone will fill their surveys out ASAP so I know what to order more accurately! :)
Thanks so much! ^^

PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: Anddddd...we're done! / What would you like to see in the future?
Hello again!!
HOORAY!! The campaign is finally over (12 hours later than intended? :'D???)!!!
It went GREAT!! Thank you all SO MUCH for the support with these pins!!
In a while, cards will start being charged for the campaign! Please keep an eye on if your card goes through or not, and please make an effort to fix it if it doesn't! ;w; The amount that is received plays a big role in what pins get ordered!
I will work on getting the survey ready to ship out within the next couple weeks, with their sending most likely after the cards have finished charging. ^^
Meanwhile, here's a quick poll! What kind of pins would you like to see from me in the future?
Thanks so much, and have a great day, everyone! :D
