Hello Shroomie friends! I meant to send out this update much sooner, but the past number of weeks have been almost entirely consumed with packing and shipping out all of the pins. I'm thrilled to announce that (aside from the few unanswered surveys / unpaid balance pledges) EVERYONE'S order has been shipped out! It was such a tremendous joy seeing which combinations of Shroomies each of you ordered, and I hope they continuously bring lots of silliness and smiles to your pin collection 😁🙌
💛 Sticker Sheets
Those of you who ordered sticker sheets may have already seen them in person by now (or will very soon!), but since I haven't shown them off here yet, please enjoy this look at the finished sticker sheets!
Despite their delays and hassles in production, I'm really happy with how the holographic sheets came out, and pleasantly surprised by how thick the vinyl is. I hope you guys enjoy these shiny Shroomie stickers too! They pair nicely with the Shroomie Sticker Book as well ;)
💙 Leftover Pins
If there are any pins or other items from this campaign you were eyeing but didn't quite get, never fear! All leftover stock from this project (including stickers, sticker books, etc.) will be going up on my ✦ Etsy Store ✦ soon. It's taking me some time to photograph everything and get listings up, but keep checking back! You can always follow my Etsy shop to get notified when new stock comes in too.
I'll also have a handful of seconds-grade Shroomie pins available at a steep discount that'll go up on the shop soon 👀 These beautifully imperfect pins with little flaws would love a new home too, so keep an eye out for those, and feel free to tell your mushroom-loving friends that some discounting Shroomies are coming!
🧡 What's Next?
You may have already seen the teaser page by now, but now the announcement is OFFICIAL: I'll be back for Pintopia 3 in January 2025! 🎉 I'm so excited to illustrate even more new Shroomies (thanks to all your votes and feedback in the reward surveys). Plus, it's very likely there will be at least one mushroom plushie in this upcoming campaign, since the votes and demand were nearly tied with more Shroomie pins!
Sneak preview of some new Shroomie pins 👀
I would love your thoughts too as I consider potential mushroom plushie designs. What kind of Shroomie plush(es) would you like to see? I'm mostly curious about general plush size at the moment, so please use the poll below to voice your preference―and if you have any other ideas for mushroom plush design concepts, you can share them below in the comments :)👍
Once again, this project could not have happened without YOU! My utmost thanks and gratitude to every single one of you for choosing to back Shroomie Roomies and bring our fungi army to life 💪🍄 This has been the most fun campaign I've ever done by far, and I cannot wait to continue with more mushrooms in the next Pintopia. Until then, STAY SHROOMY, and I hope you all love the shiny new goodies!
Feel free to share your ideas for future Shroomie pin / plushie designs in the comments, as I'll be back in the art cave designing more over the coming months :)
