Hi everyone! It seems like most of you have seen them already, but surveys are out! If you didn't see the email or lost it, please let me know and I can re-send your survey link so you can pick your pins :)
There are still 8 people with failed payments. If you think this might be you or just want to double check, please let me know via email, DM, or comment and I can check your status. You can also check this yourself by going to your profile and clicking on "Your Pledges and Surveys"
Small color update for everyone- I decided to update the colors for the Red and Blue Space Cutter Ants to make them more, well, red and blue! I've been looking at colors with my manufacturer and seeing these three pins together, I realized I wanted the colors to be more saturated and distinct from one another. This mainly effects the boldness and cohesiveness of the Blue Space Cutter Ant, and makes the Red Space Cutter Ant more red/ orange instead of orange/ yellow, and creates more distinction between it and the yellow one.
Speaking of the Ants, if you pledged for the 4, 5, or 6 pin bundles and wanted one or more of the ant pins, please let me know. I omitted them from these bundles because they are smaller than the other pins in the campaign (1.75 inch instead of 2 inch) and I thought people would only want to buy them in the set or as an add-on. Unfortunately I can no longer change this, but these pins are available in the Add-On section of the survey. I can manually change your pledge to the Ant Set of 3 (one of each color) and add any other pins to your order, or you can DM or email me and I can add a note to your pledge to send you these instead.
Next- There is a new pin to fund! After seeing just how many of you were interested in the Pink Butterfly Nebula Sticker, I decided to finally add it to the campaign! This is a re-colored version of the original Butterfly Nebula pin, just with pink, blue, and purple sections instead of yellow, turquoise, and orange. These will be the same size as the Orange Version, and will also feature gold plating, 2 pin posts, and a hard enamel finish. If you would like this color way of the Butterfly Nebula Pin, you can now add it to your order via the Add-On section of the survey.
Already submitted your survey but want to add this to your order? Just go to your profile and select "Your Pledges and Surveys" and click on the Celestial Insects page and it will take you back to your survey. You should be able to edit this at any time before orders are locked, in case you want to make any changes :) Added the original version to your pledge and want to switch? Let me know and I can add a note to your order!
Shipping Cost Update
There seems to have been an issue with multiple shipping profiles being added to people's orders, which caused the price to jump up (especially with international orders), but this has now been fixed! Some of you may notice that you will be charged less than anticipated- but don't worry! This is just the adjustment in shipping costs and all your add-ons will still be there :)
