Project Update: Survey's Rollin' Out!

Hey all!
Wanted to update and let you know that Surveys are being sent out! Please keep a close eye on your email for the notification and try to get your surveys complete in a timely manner! Once I have about 80% of surveys complete, I'll start production for all items :)

Surveys will stay unlocked up until closer to fulfillment time, so you'll be able to update your pledges, address, and other information for a good while. When we get closer to that time I'll provide more updates and give you a heads up so you can be ready for when your survey gets locked and cards get charged for any additional fees.

Just a reminder to ensure your payments are valid and your transaction went through. I emphasize this as a reminder that if your survey isn't complete or paid in full I cannot ship any items to you. If the campaign completes and closes before you get your survey or payment fixed then your reward will be considered a donation and you will not receive any items.

Regardless, you'll have plenty of time, and I'll ensure frequent updates through the process as a reminder. I'm anticipating a 2-3 month production time for all items, but this estimate can change based on a variety of different factors. 

That's all for now, thanks so much and have a wonderful rest of your week!

Project Update: Post Campaign First Steps + Talking Tariffs

Hey all! Wanted to thank you for such a successful campaign! I'm absolutely blown away by the positive support I received throughout, you guys are awesome :) I can't wait to start getting these produced and share the final products with you all! 

Failed Payments

Just a heads up to double check that your payment went through! Banks tend to flag payments during these big group campaigns, so just make sure yours went through! I cannot fulfil your rewards until your payments are fixed and surveys and shipping information complete! I have a good handful of failed payments so just make sure that all your pledge is good to go!

Pre-Orders

If you missed the campaign and want to pick up some goodies you can check out the pre-order store! Check it out! I have the completed sticker art for all the new designs. Just a heads up that these are just mockups, so if you see any odd spots or wonky lines they'll get fixed up in my final proofs! 

For those who pledged to the campaign, you'll be able to add more goodies to your pledge, so just hold out a bit! I completed the initial survey setup and have requested it for review, so hoping to have it out soon enough. 

Tariffs

The talk of the town, what will happen, nobody knows! As of right now you're likely seeing a lot of people talking about tariffs and how they'll impact campaigns going forward. The problem is nobody knows what is going on which is making it, understandably, hard to plan a campaign around! And it's causing a lot of uncertainty with fulfillment for many other small businesses like myself.  I just want to assure you that any additional tariffs will be paid by me. I'm very fortunate that I have a full time job that I can use as backup incase any unexpected charges happen. So please rest assured that as of now, nothing is impacted. I'm going to continue forward with optimism that nothing of any meaningful fruition will come from this, but I'm also bracing for the worst. My first and foremost priority is ensuring you get your rewards, so I have plans in place to navigate the unknown landscape right now. 

Think that's all for now! Anticipate another update soon regarding surveys being sent out. Thank you so much and have a great weekend!

Project Update: Stretch Goals Complete! 8 New Designs Added!

Hi all! We're a bit over halfway through the campaign and I so excited to share the new designs that I've been working on! Right now only the pin art is complete, I'll be working on the rendered sticker art this weekend for all these new designs. These will be available for selection as stickers as well! Thank you all for your wonderful suggestions, comments and feedback. I'm really happy with what I came up with and hope you are too! Aside from that I also have a couple of other important things to note: 

Enamel Pin Full Set Pledges

I've updated the existing Full Set pledge tier to specify that that the rewards for that tier ONLY include the initial unlock goals. It's not cost effective for me to add tons of new designs to an existing tier, and changing the existing price for those who have already pledged is absolutely out of the question. As such, I've created a new tier: Enamel Pin Full Set + Stretch Goals

This new tier will factor in the cost of the additional designs. You're welcome to update your pledge if you'd like, just be mindful to read the descriptions to make sure the tier you're getting is what you want! Hopefully this isn't too confusing! This was my first time having a full set tier. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. 


New Add-Ons: Mini Cell Phone Charms

I've decided to create new Mini Cell Phone Charms of all the Mini Pin Designs (Including the new ones below)! These will be about 1.5 inches in size with glitter accents and a cell phone strap attached. The art on these charms will be the same as the ones featured in the sticker designs. For example of what the final product will look like, you can check out my Angelic Mini Charms

These will be Add-Ons Only and I will not be featuring them as an individual pledge tier just to keep things cost effective for myself. You can alter your existing pledge to add one or they'll be offered post campaign in the survey as well! 

New Pin Designs!

Now to get onto what you care the most about, the new designs! I really hope you're happy with them, I had a lot of fun drawing based on all the comments and feedback I've gotten in my previous posts! You can alter your existing pledge if you'd like to add any of these designs to your order, pledge and add-on descriptions have been updated to reflect which designs are part of which rewards.
 
Bigfin Squid MAY OR MAY NOT have an epoxy topcoat, similar to the Snipe eel with thin, fine parts. I'll work with my supplier to try to make the best decisions possible for this design! The body and eyes will have green glow, and I'm planning on a UV print gradient for the tendrils


Main body color will have a pearl accent to it, screenprint details. Red Chrome Plating with epoxy coating


Will be hard enamel black nickel plating

I know it's different than the other ones presented in the polls, but I wanted to try this design again. Much happier with the results and hope you are all too! Screenprint details will glow blue in the dark along with the eye as well. Will feature epoxy topcoat

Sarcastic Fringehead, will be hard enamel plating with UV print in the mouth


3 Inch width Rainbow plating with epoxy topcoat. Black plumes will be stained glass. Premium Pin design


And finally, in addition to these new standard/premium designs I've added two more Mini Pin designs to choose from! These will also be available for selection as a sticker and cell phone charm!

Bristle Worm mini pin with dyed metal plating, glitter accents, and epoxy topcoat


Vent Snail Mini Pin, 1 inch width red chrome plating with epoxy topcoat


I think that's all for now! I'll post another update once I'm complete with all the rendered art for all these new guys :) Thank you and have a wonderful weekend!
