Good afternoon everyone! As you may have seen, I have already added three new stretch goals to the campaign, based on the results of the poll I posted a few days ago. By overwhelming majority, (getting more than double the votes of any other design) the next item to unlock is the black and white scorpion pair! These will be soft enamel with rainbow plating, and the white design will be flipped so they can be displayed together as a pair or as bookends around other pins.
New Designs, Pins, Stretch Goals
After the scorpions have been unlocked, the Stag Beetle 2-part keychain will be next! Above is the more finalized design, though I think I may play with the colors a bit more before I order them.
The last goal I'm adding is a Constellation Moth pin design! I was super surprised to see just how many of you voted for it, considering the only info I had for this design when I posted the poll was that it would be moth-themed. This design is based on the cecropia moth, and features the constellations Cassiopeia (lower wing) and Pegasus (upper wing). This design will also have a blue pearl effect on the wings (dark blue) like the original Nova Scorpion design for a swirly space-like effect. Also like the previous pin designs, this pin will have gold plating and two pin posts for extra security and to prevent twisting.
As a reminder, there are new add-ons available too! You can now add individual stickers and sticker sheets to your pledge. There are three individual stickers and three sheet designs you'll be able to choose from during the survey portion of the campaign at the end of February.
Sticker and Sticker Sheet Add-Ons
All stickers will be made with waterproof vinyl, and the individual stickers are heavy duty and very durable. I haven't tried putting stickers from a sticker sheet through a dishwasher to test for durability, but the manufacturer has assured me that they are waterproof. The individual stickers are definitely dishwasher safe, however- I accidentally washed a pair of jeans with a stack of them still in the pocket and they came out undamaged!!
As of writing this post, we have raised $3,640! That means we're just over $100 away from unlocking the Black and White Scorpion Pair. With these add-ons, we'll reach the next goal in no time :)
ALL backers for this project will still receive a FREE Galaxy Bee sticker with their pledge, but if you want extra stickers with this design you can add it to your pledge in the survey or with an "add sticker" add on. All backers who pledge for 5 or more pins will also receive a FREE sticker sheet with their pledge, which you will choose during the survey portion at the end of the month.
Want more freebies? Remember to pledge to my colab partner's project Howl & Harmony for a FREE 2 part keychain that fits together with magnets for a super unique butterfly keychain.
There's just 5 days left in the campaign, so lets finish strong!
Once the campaign is over, it will be about a week or two before surveys go out and you'll get to choose which pins, keychains, and stickers you want. There will also be opportunities to add additional items to your pledge in the survey, so don't worry if you forgot to add something or realize you forgot to increase your pledge before the 13th.
