We have some sad news, and some possibly great news for our current backers! First, I want to thank each and every one of you who didn't give up on me or this project. Your support kept me motivated to continue on with the campaign. <3 The bad news, we have gone through quite a ride, and it looks like we will not fund the Strawberry Ita Bag, so please adjust your pledges accordingly if you're still here.
These bags below, I do have physically in stock and you can switch over to these instead if you would like, but the Strawberry Ita bag has been defunded, and looks like it's not meant to be.
This was my second attempt at funding these types of bags that were less bulky, less heavy, but held as much as my old ita bags did, and I'm taking note that I should only make pins from now on.
The good news, is that if we at the very least stay funded... BARE MINIMUM of staying funded... I can continue with the surveys and open the Pre-Order Store/send out surveys to backers where you can directly add-on for any of the characters that we didn't get a chance to unlock. This will give all of you complete control over what will be funded. (example below)
I will admit that I'm going through some big feels about the past 2 years of developing and making the bags and artwork, so once we have a final tally on what will move forward in the surveys, I'll be archiving my Fauna Fruits pin and bag collections for the foreseeable future. No new Fauna Fruit pins. I'll continue to apply the artwork elsewhere, but it won't be coming back to crowdsourcing anytime soon. The big feels are telling me I need to move on and find a new source of joy to put effort into, so I'm looking forward to the 3 other pin projects that have absolutely nothing to do with this IP lol. So let's finish off the next 48 hrs as best as possible and celebrate with a very very long nap and ibuprofen lol. To new beginnings!
