Hi mushroom gang! Hope you've had a good past few weeks and are staying cool in this wretched summer heat. I've been looking forward to this particular update for a while, since this is when I finally get to share the first manufacturing pics that have come in! 💪🍄 I thought it'd be fun to show a few snippets of the sketch-to-pin process here too:
They're coming to life! These lil Shroomies are beginning their production process with machine-carved molds that get used to create batches of raw pins.
✏ Enamel Pin Art Process:
From here, the raw pins will get filled with color, stamped with screen print layers, and eventually, plated & polished! (Not shown: many meticulous revisions and color adjustments to the art in between the drawing phases. 😅)
More manu pics of the rest of the designs not yet shown are still coming to my inbox (don't worry, they're not forgotten)! I'll update you guys again as all the Shroomies continue to move through the manufacturing process :) Hope you enjoyed this short n' sweet production update!
🔒 Quick Note: Orders Have Been Locked
You should've already received an automated email from BackerKit that your order for this campaign is now officially locked. This is to solidify and well, lock down the order counts for pin production. If you need to make any edits to your pledge, or still want to add anything, just let me know in the comments or shoot me an email [ [email protected] ]. I'd be happy to make any necessary adjustments for you!
💳 Payments Charging Soon:
On a similar note, your payment method will be charged sometime in the coming weeks, once we get a bit closer toward finished production. In order to keep things running smoothly and to avoid errors or potentially losing your pledge reward, please make sure your payment method is up-to-date and good to be charged soon. I really appreciate your help on this, since it'll make the process on my end tremendously easier, and you and I can both rest assured that you'll receive everything you pledged for :)👍
📝 Attention Incomplete Surveys:
Finally, there's only 7 backers left who have yet to fill out the reward survey. If you haven't selected your pin(s) for this project yet, please log in to your BackerKit account > click your icon in the top right corner > select "Your Pledges & Surveys" > click "Your Surveys" at the top > then fill out the survey for "Shroomie Roomies" (and any other projects you may have waiting on you)! I promise it'll only take a few minutes, and without completing this step, you will not be able to receive any of the rewards you pledged for (and your Shroomies will be very sad not to come home to you 😥). ALL my appreciation and thanks again to everyone who's already finished their survey — you're amazing! 👏🍄
That's all I've got to share with you for now~ Thank you again for walking this Shroomie journey, and I know the manufacturer photo updates are only going to get even more exciting from here :)
