Project Update: Shipping Complete!

Hey guys! Wanted to pop in here to let you know that I have the remaining orders packed up and ready to ship out! I'll be stopping by the post office tomorrow 2/28 to dispatch the last batch of orders, so the rest of you should get all your goodies soon! Tracking numbers will likely go out tomorrow or Saturday depending on how long USPS wants to update. If you do not receive a tracking number after this timeframe please check to make sure your order is complete (see failed cards and surveys below). Any issues you have with your order, can be rectified by contacting me at tiffany.martrano@gmail.com! I'm more than happy to address any concerns or comments and I want to make sure you guys are happy with your products :) 

Remaining stock will be listed in my shop at a later date (don't have an estimate now) You can follow me on Bluesky to be notified of when I stock my shop with the leftovers! Prices from the campaign to my Etsy shop will be adjusted to account for fees.

Also don't forget to be notified of my next campaign launching soon, THE BRINE POOL! Featuring lots of goodies that I'm so excited to share and work on! This project will be part of a larger group collaboration Oddities and Obscura, with tons of talented artists and goodies available!


Failed Card  & Missing Survey Pledges

Just as a reminder, I CANNOT ship out your order until your survey is complete and the order has been fully paid for. I have a small amount of backers who have outstanding issues with their pledge. Please make sure to get your pledge fixed ASAP! I will be closing up this campaign in 2-3 weeks. If you do not complete your pledge or card transaction your pledge will be forfeited and counted as a donation. 

I think that's about it for this campaign, I wanted to truly thank you all for the massive amount of support for this project and my work as a whole! It means so much to me and is absolutely such a dream to be able to make funky art that people are excited about, I adore it and can't wait to share more with you all in the future!

Project Update: Remaining Pins Complete!

Hi guys! I wanted to pop in with a quick update to keep you all in the loop! I wanted to let you know that the pins I was waiting on to finish off shipping have been complete and are on their way to me! That means for all remaining orders please expect your orders to be dispatched within the next 2-3 weeks depending on how long it takes for the remaining pins to come my way. Please ensure your address is up to date, I'll be locking all addresses once the pins are in my hand! 

Firstly we have the remade Egg of Innocence. I'm so glad I took the time to remake this, I'm MUCH happier with the result and I hope you are too!


Next up we have the finished Eater of Worlds! Both turned out sooo great and I can't wait to see them in person!




That's all for now! Really appreciate your patience waiting for these remaining pins to get complete! Hope you guys have a great rest of your day!

Project Update: First Round of shipping complete!

Hi friends! I just wanted to pop in with a quick update and announce that my first batch of shipping has been complete! If your order does not contain the Egg of Innocence or Eater of Worlds then your order is likely on the way! Right now is holiday season for my suppliers, so I'm hoping after things will start moving again. I'll keep things updated.

If your receive your order and find an error or are unhappy with anything please contact me at tiffany.martrano@gmail.com so I can get it resolved for you asap! I try to do my due diligence with each order, but with everything being done by myself I wouldn't be surprised if an error slipped through. I'm more than happy to do what I can to resolve any issues.

That's about it for now, I'll post another update when I receive the remaining pins. As a reminder, please ensure your payment is valid, I cannot ship out your order if your card has not been charged and you may forfeit your reward if it's not resolved within a reasonable time frame. Same goes for any unfinished surveys, I cannot provide your reward until everything is complete. 

Thanks so much and have a safe and happy rest of your week!

Project Update: Pin Progress Update + Important Info!

Hi all! Hope you've been doing well! I just wanted to pop in with a bit of an update! Most of the pins are here and I wanted to share pictures and give you a bit of a timeline update now that things are getting closer to shipping on my end.

Before I get into that, I just wanted to also share off my next campaign which will be launching this March! This collection is a bunch of deep sea critters, and if you're interested you can follow along HERE



Anyway, onto the updates you came here for!

Locking Orders

Since I have a majority of items in hand, I'm going to be locking orders this  Friday January 17th. This means you'll be unable to make any adjustments to your selections. Afterwards on Monday January 20th I'll be charging cards. Ensure your shipping address is up to date and you have a valid card on file! Below you can find pictures of most of the finished pins for you to make any final adjustments as needed! 

Egg Of Innocence

Unfortunately this pin did not turn out how I expected. From the suppliers photos I thought it would be okay, but once getting into my hands I realized the effect that I wanted didn't come through at all. The contrast with the Dyed Metal made the effect really dark, making it near impossible to see the half raised metal, looking like just a circle or a blob. I've attached some photos to show what I mean. 


As such, I've decided to reproduce this pin with different colors.  I'm planning On getting this pin made with Rose Gold Enamel and a lighter translucent color to better contrast the effect. This was my first time trying soft enamel/dyed metal with this effect, and I think the colors just blended too much together, which is why I'm opting for a hard enamel solution. I've produced this effect with other pins before in Hard Enamel and it's looked much better. I posted an example of a previous pin below to get an idea on what I was going for. 


I apologize for any inconvenience or disappointment with the color changes, I figured this would be the best solution to get an end product I'm happy and confident enough to give out to you guys. If you're unhappy with this adjustment you can do one of the following:
  • Update your survey to switch to a different mini pin option if you're disinterested in this one after the changes
  • If you really want one of the original orange ones, I'm more than happy to give them out. Please send me an email at tiffany.martrano@gmail.com just saying that you want one of the orange eggs and I'll make a note on your order. Just please understand this is not up to my usual standards and the effect is really difficult to see!

Eater of Worlds

I'm using a different supplier to get these pins done, and as such they haven't shipped yet. I'm hoping they'll be complete soon, I'm really excited to get them into my hands! Here's an update on the completed sample of both colors, I'm super stoked with how they turned out :) Because these were more complex pins I wanted to spend additional time ensuring I got it looking great, and hope you'll be happy with it too! I'll provide another update when this design is in my hands so I can take pictures in my own lighting
 

Everything Else!

Here are all the other pins that turned out great! I had to take indoor pics since it's painfully cold out, hopefully you understand :) Also apologies for the messy room, I'm doing some reorganization and everything is a mess haha! I'm going to be working on grading and packaging these pins in the next couple of days! Also remember the rainbow plating has different color variations per pin design!


I think that about wraps up the update for now! As always if you need any help with anything please reach out to me at tiffany.martrano@gmail.com Thanks so much for your support and patience as I continue to work through this campaign! I'll continue to provide updates as they come. Stay safe and stay warm!

Project Update: Stickers Arrived + Pin WIPs!

Hi all! Hope you've been doing well! I just wanted to pop in with a quick little update to let you know that production is well underway and going smoothly! I wanted to update as I've gotten the stickers in as well as some Pin WIP photos!

Also as a bit of a side note consider following me on Bluesky! You can find my account HERE! I've been posting lots of WIP's, doodles, pet photos, and having a blast and would love to grow and use the platform more! 

Stickers

Here are all the sticker designs for the campaign! I added some special effects to some of the designs to make them pop :) Just a reminder that your surveys are unlocked! If you'd like to edit your pledge selection after seeing any of the stickers you're more than welcome to! Surveys will be locked once the pins are in my hands so there's still plenty of time and I have lots of leftover stickers! Please note, I'm planning on reprinting Tangled - Rainbow just because the size ended up too small by accident, but I'm still sharing it off for you to get an idea what the final product will look like. Anyways, hope you like them!
