Project Update: Large Batch Of Packages Going Out!
Things That Will Be Shipped by 3/20: (Updated from 3/18 due to printer issues and needing to order a new one)
- Resolved Order Errors
- Dragon Delay Pins
- Handmade Items (Mugs, Shirts, Ect)
Still Working On Pinboards:
The only orders that should still be worked on before the end of next week are those who have the hand painted boards. The boaqrds are some of the coolest things I've ever made, but being hand-painted usually takes me about 2-3 hours to paint them.
Thanks Everyone! I just wanted to drop a small update :)

Project Update: Shipping Extended into March
Order Update:
I've gotten more than half of all orders out, less than 100 remain!
Timeline Extended:
Due to time and a lot of unexpected setbacks, I'm extending the expected shipping period by one month. The time waiting for reorders and delays for restocking of materials dragged on during the production timeline more than expected, plus the holidays this year were a lot more chaotic than usual due to the terminal illness of a close family member. I've been taking much more time away from the studio to be with them. I even take things to work on while I visit with them, such as pinboards to paint (Or pet commissions to from my Dearly Departed Series) just to ensure some sort of progress is made on my projects.
While I intend to get everything sent by the end of February (Depending on when the dragon reorders come in), I just want to keep things transparent, and the extra time would relieve a lot of worry for me.
Pinboards:
The pinboards look amazing, but they are definitely taking much longer than I origionally expected, both due to the sheer amount of time (Each takes me about 3 hours to make, between cutting, assembling, priming, painting, and top coating with about 4 days total between steps for curing/drying). I don't want to rush them in any sort of way.
All Pinboards have been cut, assembled, and sanded! I'm just now painting them each, with a few getting their top coats this weekend :)
Thank you all so much! - Dakota

Project Update: Big Beefy Update!
It's been a while, and a lot has been happening. Between some unexpected things in my life and the holidays it's been so busy.
But that being said! Some important updates!

So I got the backer crystal heart and my sticker in the mail today, but not the birthstone beast pin. Anyone else have this issue or just me?

Project Update: What a long time!
I haven't said much because there hasn't been much to say. And I'm not someone who really likes to comment when we don't have comments to make. But it's official! I have the pins and all the manufactured items in hand! I just need to grade them and check for flaws, and then they'll be starting fulfillment soon. Due to the upcoming holidays, my goal is to get around 30-50 orders out a week.
Those of you who have custom items, I'm still waiting on a few items for those as some materials have been on back-order, and they just got them in stock. With my materials, I try to buy from other small businesses as much as possible rather than big box stores like Amazon, so the availability of some materials can be unstable in these trying times.
But all in all, we are way ahead of the timeline!
