That's right! Despite delays, tragedy, the emotionally draining aspect of life and budget season at my main job, I am appropaching the end of fulfillment!

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 :)

Hello Everyone!

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 :)

Hello Everyone!

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!

117 Orders have been shipped out! That's 46% of orders ready to go! There are still several orders without completed surveys, or with failed payments, so please get those in order as soon as you can!

I have all the materials, and these are being made to order this weekend!

There was a mold error with the pins, those of you who ordered them have details about that, so please reply with your choice of resolutions. Thank you!

A. Exchange the Year of the Dragon Pin, for a different pin in your order.

B. Accept the errored pin, there is nothing wrong with it aside from the visual mistake.

C. Wait for the new dragons to arrive and get your order at once.

D. Ship your order now (If you have custom items, those are still being made), and ship the dragon pin at a later date once it arrives.

I finally have the graphics of the shirts; there were some misunderstandings with the graphic prints that have since been resolved. So I'll be pressing shirts this weekend!

All Pinboard Mock-ups have been send or are awaiting you to email me your colorations! If you have not checked over the proof, please do so soon, as I can not start on your board until I get your approvals. Full production on pinboards officially starts this weekend! If you do not have the proof, or need it resent please email me at: [email protected]!

Hello Everyone!

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!
