Thank you so much to everyone for their suggestions of what further stretch goals I should add to the campaign, and for everyone's patience with me while I've been working on these!
Sorry for the silence, I was merely waiting for a majority of everyone to finish their surveys. That and my partner had to undergo surgery. Everything is fine and the surgery went well. And now... onto the update! 1). LOCKING ORDERS SOON!
I am looking to lock orders soon so that I may begin production with my manufacturer. It's EXCITING! I can't wait for this to begin. The sooner it does, the quicker you get your items!
2). UNLOCKS & AVAILABILITY
We are merely 2 pins away from unlocking the Toothy Tarot Pin, and 9 away from unlocking Porcelain Predator--or Predator Potty. Whichever name you prefer, that it shall be deemed!
I will be adding the penguin as a sticker add-on in a day or so! I will even consider putting it up there as a pin! How many of you would purchase the pin of the evil little bird baby?
3). UPDATE SURVEYS/ COMPLETE THEM
Update your surveys to include EVERYTHING you want! Here's a quick SHORTCUT to your survey!
If you have yet to fill out your survey, PLEASE do ASAP. You can find your survey by going HERE. 4). Participate in the poll!
Would you like to see the Penguin become a Pin? The art is done, just haven't exported it yet. Sketch for reference! Make your voice heard by giving the idea a big thumbs up, or a thumbs down. The fate adn survival of this little floofy pengy is in your hands. That's all for now!
It took some time to double check the order counts and finalize the files, but all items (pins, stickers, etc.) are in the process of being manufactured! Some of the other add-ons and stretch goals, like the postcards and locking backs, are already complete!
I'll be sure to update you all if there is any news!
It's time for another project update! I received all the pins from my manufacturer last week, and took some time to grade all of them. Good news is that most of them are great, but the bad news is that one of the design, stargazing kitty, will need to be remade.
Something was odd about the stargazing kitty pin. When I was grading them, I noticed that the enamel for this pin was super easily scratchable. The enamel just seemed to be a bit soft for some reasons. And it only happens for this design (I tested all the other pins and they are fine). I made a video demonstrating how I can easily create a dent on the enamel for this pin and sent it to my manufacturer, and right the way they told me they will remake this pin for us. I am still unsure what is wrong with this pin, but unfortunately I cannot send this pin out since it is not up to my standard. I am really sorry that there is going to be a delay in fulfilling some of the rewards, but I really want to make sure I only send out the best quality pins to all my backers. My manufacturer didn't give me an exact date for when the pins will be done, but based on my past experience working with them, it's usually around 2-3 weeks. I will send out another update once I received the remake.
Having said that, I will start fulfilling those orders that do not have the stargazing kitty pin, as there is really no reason why I should put that on hold. This means that I will be locking address soon! If you need to change your address, please do so by next Friday July 19th, as I will be locking address on that day so I can start sending out your rewards! Also, I do notice that I still have a few incomplete surveys and error charge cards. If you haven't fill out your survey yet, or you noticed that there is a charge card error, please have it fixed as soon as you can. Thank you so much! Here are some pictures of the pins for everyone!
On my last update, I mentioned that I have a new Kickstarter project launching soon, and it's been decided that I will be launching the campaign on July 19th (next Friday) at 10 am EST (8 am MST)!! I am so excited about this project, and there are going to be a limited number of early bird rewards for the first 24 hrs! You can follow my project in below link to get a notification when the project is launched. All backers who pledge for three or more pins will get the camera kitty pin as a freebie!
Below are the sticker designs for this Kickstarter. I hope you like them!
My apologies for another super long update.... Any other questions or concerns, please feel free to email me as that will be the best way to get a hold of me. My email is [email protected]. Have a good weekend~
Hello backers! I hope you are having a nice July so far. We have nine days left in the campaign.
Cross-Collab Campaign
I wanted to highlight our cross-collab campaign, Pride Potions! If you pledge to both Pride Potions and Pride Angels, you'll receive a pair of exclusive freebie pins.
All of the initial Pride Potions goals are funded, and there are more on the way with Key & Crow Studios taking suggestions for more flags on their Community page.
Design Requests
I have finished eight of the ten Design Request angels, here they are (you can view full images on my social media):
I'm still working on the remaining two Design Requests. I wasn't 100% happy with my previous sketches, so here are some new ones. I'm hoping to get them done before the end of the campaign.
I was thinking about adding more Design Request slots but we're a bit too close to the end of the campaign and if I added them now, I would worry they would not be filled before the end. My apologies to anyone who had inquired about additional slots! There's always a chance a slot might open up before the end of the campaign, so keep an eye on the Design Request pledge level.
I am considering opening Design Requests outside the campaign, in the future or for Pride Month next year. I would not be able to offer the full array of merch for requests outside a campaign, but would make them into stickers and keychains. You can vote in this poll or comment on this update if you are interested. If you feel any are missing from the current roster, you can let me know which ones you would request.
New Pledge Levels
I have added some discounted pledge levels for sixteen and twenty pins. Be sure to switch to these pledge levels before the campaign ends, you will not be able to change pledge levels after the campaign.
That's all for this update, have a wonderful rest of your day!
Hello everyone! Just popping in to give a quick update: my pins are still 2-3 weeks from done, but we are getting super close! I can’t wait to have them all in hand. Regretfully, some information about my Thorn design got lost in translation and it is going to have to be remade. The design was made without any of the cut outs needed to dangle the crystals from it. I caught it when they sent an update image, but after they had all been completed sadly. I’m in discussions with them on how to make sure everything turns out 100% correct, but wanted to let you guys all know. Since it is just one pin it will go significantly faster, but it will still be a wait. I will be receive it the rest of them before that is finished I believe, so those orders will be shipped as soon as I can.
That said, that puts me significantly behind CatHead on fulfillment, because that goblin already has 99% of her orders packed and waiting, not to mention she will be leaving for a family funeral and is itching to get everything sent out before hand so she can focus on family. So her packages are going out ahead of mine! Expect to have all those goodies in hand soon!
While I was spending much needed time with my family yesterday, you guys unlocked the 7th design! Which means that the drama-dragon design will now be joining the hoard as a pin. 🥰😍🥰
I never doubted you would unlock it and we are so close to the 8th one. Just as I have no doubt we will unlock the final three designs. Speaking of which, based on your votes, here are the preliminary sketches for the not-a-damsel dragon!
Introducing the "not-a-damsel" sketch. She will be the 9th design we unlock. As I drew the first lines of her face U burst out laughing. These dragons have brought so much laughter and fun into my life. And I'm so happy I can share them with you!
I tried to combine as many of the things you guys voted for. I'm thinking she might need a larger head though 🤔. I love everything about her, especially her little flared pinky holding the tutu 🥰.
Today you get to vote on her colours. Now I've been told that pink bunny slippers were non-negotiable by my husband and daughter. (I was originally going to let you vote, but alas my family put up with my shenanigans so they should get some say). Which means you guys need to vote on the colours of the dragon herself. So help me decide. What colour is our little not-a-damsel? Vote below!
And for today's question, if you could be a dragon, what kind would you be and where would you live? I'd be a shapeshifter, because I do love creating art as a human. Though I would likely find a library to live in as my lair.
Until tomorrow, happy hoarding. Yours in art, Therena
PS: if you haven't backed yet, now's your chance! We only have 5 days left!
