Yall I woke up so late this morning, I meant to be here for launch and shoot another update out...but omg, not even an hour in and less than $50 from funding??? 🥹🥹 tysm

I don't have much else to say other than THANK YOU! And keep on backing projects so you can get those fun freebies!!

Don't forget to back my collab partner's project at a single pin tier or more to get our collab pins as well!!

Find her project here!

THANK YOU SO MUCH <3

I have to get a little bit sappy here - I have been selling my creations in various forms for 15 years - I started with crochet, and in the last 3 years (though mostly this year alone) have branched out into 9 new categories of items (with even more sub categories within those as well!!). Even with all this growth, I still always feel so nervous every time I try something new, or even at every convention I go to, whether or not I'll do well or if people will like my things. I also have felt SO nervous going into each campaign so far - but
you all so quickly and effectively wiped that nervousness & anxiety away in just an HOUR of showing how much you support my work - so really, thank you for encouraging me to keep doing what I love to do.

I want to throw an extra shoutout to my best friend over at Midnight Springs - without her, I wouldn't have ever joined pintopia, or even BEGAN to think about designing pins (let alone 20+ designs for my first gacha campaign!!) Even though a whopping EIGHTY percent of y'all are backing us both, I want to post a reminder that backing both our campaigns means 2 freebie pins! :) 

I'm also super excited to show you all two 3D models I had made by Sunny Nika 3D to showcase what the freebie star pin (available to backers of 3 or more Pintober projects) and the base goal Dead Inside pin will look like (since it's got the recessed metal & translucent epoxy, it's sometimes hard to envision!)

We have now also officially unlocked both Spaghettification and Devourer! These are now both available as add-ons to your pledge, and will be available as choices in your post-campaign survey once that is sent out. 
 

While I won't have as many pins unlocked/created as a result of this campaign (I had a whopping 23 designs made last time!) we are now guaranteed to have 11 individual pin designs available (7 of which will be the fun candy stars in various colors). 

Looking forward to updating y'all on the state of the campaign once the first 48 hours have passed and the early bird tiers are no longer available!

To end this lil update, here are some fun facts about this campaign in comparison to last one:

We have now reached MORE backers than my entire previous campaign was able to gather in its entirety - 54 was the end number for Peets 'n' Beans, and as of my current draft of this update, we are situated firmly at 59
You all have funded over 3x more than I did in all of day 1 of my last campaign (and it's only 6 hours in!)
Average pledge size so far is on par with Peets 'n' Beans
We currently have 52 cross collab backers - that is 19 more than the entirety of Peets 'n' Beans!

Thanks again - I will hopefully have a new update for y'all Thursday :) 

Hello wonderful followers!!

As either a previous backer or new follower (thank you for showing interest in my work!!), I want to ask for your commitment to pledge on day ONE so that we can have the strongest launch possible. Pledges in the first 24, 48, and 72 hours of a campaign can really make the biggest difference!

For this campaign I have several incentives and freebies - returning backers will be receiving an EXCLUSIVE glow in the dark version of the Killer Moths from Outer Space pin, pictured below - all moths and white areas of this sticker will be glow in the dark!

Early Bird backers will get the best deal per pin - $13! With the ability to pledge for up to 5 individual pins at $65 total. This deal will be unavailable after the 48 hour mark!

I've once again teamed up with Midnight Springs to create the free Killer Moths from Outer Space pin (design pictured above, with special thanks to Midnight Springs for their help in coming up with my design idea!!) and the free Abduction colorway of the Gacha Moths Series 2 (pictured below).

If BOTH projects are funded, backers who supported BOTH projects at the single pin tier or higher will get these 2 cross-collab incentives for FREE!

Finally, those backing 3 or more Pintober campaigns will also receive even MORE free pins - this time mini pins with a candy theme! For my freebie you will receive THREE adorable, itty bitty 3D stars (20mm wide, 5 mm deep) in random colors - pictured below.

Both of our campaigns launch on TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8TH 7 AM PST - I am looking forward to the whirlwind excitement that comes with these exciting crowdfunding ventures and hope to see your name on my backer list whether it be for the first time, or to support me in my second venture as well 🫶
