I've been so hard at work grading pins (all 2,600 of them!) that I completely spaced writing an update! Needless to say, we received all pins from the manufacturer. And they are absolutely stunning! With the help of family and friends, every single pin has been graded and about 3/4 are on backing cards. Whew! I feel extremely accomplished.
Grading many, many pins
And still, the work continues! This week I'm getting the rest of the pins onto backing cards. We're still awaiting delivery of stickers & other inserts from the printer, which should happen by September 19th. In the meantime I'll be picking orders and setting things up so we can just drop the stickers in when they get here and package each order up.
More grading & assembling backing cards.
If all goes as planned, our hope is to have everything in the mail before September is over! 🎉
Looking Ahead
Our burgeoning art collective Honey Scamps has some fun things in the works. As mentioned in the previous update, the Chonky Bears Pin Collection is going live October 1st, just in time for Katmai National Park's Fat Bear Week!
At the same time, Carrie Alyson is launching Coping Cats, the long-awaited followup to their first crowdfunding campaign Calming Cats for the Anxious Purrsonality. We're teaming up to offer rewards to backers who pledge for both campaigns. Get ready because there are some extremely cute furry friends coming your way!
Last but not least, our friend Kim Kuzuri has a campaign launching in October, as well. Killer Style is inspired by the trendsetting orcas from the 80s to today, with rad dad hats & matching pins in glorious neon.
Thank you!
As always, thank you for your support of indie artists! We're having a blast making cool things for you all.
