The campaign is entering its final stages and I'm ready to reveal the final design for this campaign: Witches Butter! The pin is available as add-on, and can also be picked in the survey later. The mushroom part exists out of half raised metal and transparent enamel, combined with screen print.
This wrinkled fungus would spring up on the threshold of a small cottage. It was said that if it did, a witch had put a spell on the folks that lived inside the cottage. One way to break the spell was to place stick pins into the shroom. And when it disappeared, the spell was broken.
To make the sicker pack complete; I'm adding both the Witches' Butter and the Bleeding Fairy Helmet to it! Price stays the same!
Overviews of designs and vote for your favorite!
I made an overview of all designs available for this campaign. And I'm quite proud of the roster we have unlocked together! Please let me know your favorite design in the poll!
Hereby I present the Bleeding Fairy Helmet. Which has the “fun” ability, that when you stab it, it “bleeds”. Hence the name ;)
The pin is 1.5” - just like the others. And will have screen print, translucent and half raised enamel for the blood detail and the moss. The moss will probably have a light glitter as well, I’m going to sample this :). Hope you like it!
The pin will be part of the options in the surveys, so you can pick it then as apart of your pledge
Or you adjust your pledge and increase the amount of pins (which is probably the most beneficial option)
We are almost at 6.5K - This means the Witches’ Butter pin will be unlocked! This is truly mind blowing. I’ll get working on that design asap and hope that I can show you it soon.
We also hit the stretch goal of everybody a free mini pin! Those will be added in the pledge manager to your pledge automatically.
Thank you all for your support and wandering through the forest with me.
First of all; You guys don't wander, you chase towards the goals! You unlock goals faster than I can think of them ;).
But I made a plan, and I hope you'll like it!
I have added a gold foil sticker pack for the pins of the Forest Treasure campaign! So you can now pick, or take them both of course ;).
These two goals we have unlocked over the last 24h:
4.5k - We unlocked a Free Mini Mushroom for every backer that backed for 3+ pins!
5K - We unlocked the Bleeding Fairy Helmet design. I'll start sketching this pin over the weekend and once I have a design that at least gives you a good impression on how it will look, I'll add it to add-ons. :)
5.5K - We unlock the Free Mini Mushroom for every backer with physical rewards.
6.5K - We unlock the Witches' Butter Mushroom. The Witches' Butter Mushroom as a nice story to it, but it's a challenging mushroom to pinify! If we get that far - I accept the challenge!
Full overview of the goals you can find on the main page, and the cropped version below. I hope this order of things makes you happy. I wanted to do them all, so I hope this is a nice balance :)
I’m blown away by your support thus far! Barely 24h in and we have double funded all the stretch goals, which is truly amazing and beyond expectation. I made a poll to vote for additional stretch goals, more below!
For those that has been on the fence of backing; We have one day left for the early birds! All early birds get a free sticker and there are some limited discounted spots left for ALL 6 pin designs. Further more I would like to remind you of the cross-collab with the amazing Lantern Arcana and the PinQuest banner! So many fun things to collect this PinQuest!
Now that’s out of the way, fun stuff! And to be fair, I hadn’t expected so much support and thus haven’t prepped for it either. BUT! This also gives you an opportunity to help me decide what you all would like to see.
I have prepared 4 options in the poll attached. But I’m also open to other suggestions of what you all would like to see. If it doesn’t happen in this campaign, I can save the ideas for future campaigns :)
1) Free Gold Foil Sticker based on the Verdigris Agaric Pin from my previous campaign. I’ll also make the remaining gold foil stickers from that campaign available as add-on.
2) Stamp washi roll with the watercolour artworks available as add-on.
3) At 4.5K - Free MINI mushroom pin with glitter for all orders with 3+ pins. At 5K everyone gets a free mini mushroom.
4) New Pin design based on the “Bleeding Fairy Helmet” - I haven’t started this, so you have to trust me ;) But I’m thinking on transparent enamel for the “bleeding”
Thank you all for joining me on this quest into the fairy realm <3 You are all amazing.
With the launch being only a few days away; I have some exciting news to share! I got a sample made and I finished the original artwork for this campaign. Pictures of that below.
I went ahead and got a sample made of the Amanita Frostiana, to make sure the UV gradient would turn out awesome! And tell you what! I does. I'm so happy with the results and makes me feel more confident going into this campaign. Hope you like it as well!
Amanita Frostiana Sample!
On top of that;
I'm done with all the original artwork for this campaign. Woop woop!
All paintings are 13x18cm, and I'll be matting them to 20x30cm. The paintings will be available as add-on in the campaign. I'll also offer A6 prings and 1" washi stickers of these artworks.
Fly Agaric
Fairy Parachute
Green Elf Cups
Trumpet of the Dead
That was it for now. I'm very excited for the launch next week. Remember that there are limited discounted early bird spots this time. So set an alarm for next Tuesday ;).
