Hello, my feathered friends!

All our pins are almost here in my art studio which means it's time to start locking addresses! You will have until the end of this month, Thursday, 10/31, to update your shipping address. If you didn't move or don't plan to move, then no further action is needed. But if your shipping address is changing or did change, please get that updated by revisiting your survey. 

If you miss the deadline and your package has already left my studio, there's nothing I can do at that point so pls be sure your addresses are correct~

Lastly, the final pieces for packaging are also slowly coming in + they look so good! I can't wait to finally start putting everything together with my team. Fun updates coming soon 🦆✨

Hello, my friends! I'm so excited to finally say that the samples for all 18 pocket bird designs have finally been perfected and now my manufacturer is putting everything into full production!! 🥳

This is the unedited photo straight from my manufacturer, confirming the final designs! Look at how absolutely crisp these palettes are! I am so proud.

Sadly, this entire process was delayed due to many terrible color mixes and a few mold issues so there is a good chance that the pins may arrive in my studio in November and not in October. I am so bummed out about this. 😭 I added a huge buffer in our timeline to account for issues like this but my manufacturer really struggled with this project + it couldn't be helped. But!! They did their best + I'm just glad they stuck with me till the end. I will keep you posted on more specific dates, of course. Thank you thank you for hanging in there~

On that note, shipping addresses will be locked mid-October. Please be sure to change it if you've moved or want it sent somewhere else. I can't really do anything once your package leaves my studio + gets sent to the wrong address.

I think that it's for now! More fun things coming in the next major update. Stay cool, my friends!

Hello friends, I'm popping in with a very quick update!

First off, creating an 18-piece collection has sure been a struggle. Whenever it comes to manufacturing products, there's often a point where something just isn't translating and you just have to push through the slump in as many revisions as it takes. This part is always the most draining for me but we are soooooo close to getting these bad birds out the door. Please send me all your good energy and virtual snacks so I can get through these emails and samples!!

In other, more positive news, here are some of the designs that have turned out just right:

As a creative marketing professional, it hurts to not present these pins in better and more effective lighting lol but I still think it's enough to imagine how good they'll look in your hands! Brb, currently working on the packaging to make these cool birds even cooler~

Lastly, check out this phoenix!!! 🔥 The double screenprints create the perfect contrast and it looks exactly the way I envisioned it. This was a tough one but it was 100% worth it. 

Thanks again for hanging around + I hope you're all having a sweet summer so far! 🧡🧡💛💛

Hello my fellow bird watchers, I hope you're all staying cool under this heat! I will be charging cards and closing the add-ons/BackerKit store in 2 days, Friday, July 12th, so please make sure your surveys are done and you've selected everything you want. There are 9 of you who haven't filled out your survey so pls do that now bc things will get really complicated later 🥲

Now, some progress pics! My manu did an amazing job working with me on the chain design for this baby owl! (Please disregard the colors as we're still working them out. Neutral colors are kind of a nightmare but the last pic is closer to what the final will look like!) I can tell my main manu guy is also proud of this design because his pictures are usually blurry, dark, and sent in singles. The man sent me several clear photos with nice backgrounds for this one lol~ 

This is my first product working with chains and I think it's such a huge success so far. Thanks so much for letting me experience this! This owl has been one of the most popular designs amongst you all so far so I hope you like it~ More updates later! 🦉💕
