Project Update: THANK YOU!! Campaign Over!!!
Hey everyone, thank you so much for the strong finish!! I got to meet some of you at the con this weekend and it was so lovely!! Yay!!
We're about two weeks out from surveys so BackerKit is ready, which is fine since I'll be traveling home this week and then have yet another convention next weekend. I'll also be sending out a special survey to the European backers who reached out.
Please make sure to fill out the survey ASAP when it's sent so I can get an accurate count on what needs to be ordered!
The pre order shop will be open for a little while for people who missed out on the campaign and will close when shipping is ready. New sets of pins usually take about 45 days to make, so if there are no significant delays shipping will likely happen in late January going into February.
And a couple more things! Here's a rough timeline on future pin projects I'm planning for 2025:

- January: Animal Talismans (part of Pintopia 3)
- Summer: New Zealand Birds Mini Pins
- Fall: Cryptid Tea Sets
There might be smaller pin pre orders sprinkled in here and there, like a giant dragon pin.
That's all for now, time to drive back home! Thank you all again!

PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: All Pins Funded!!!
YAY we did it!!! Every pin is funded!! Thank you all very much!!!
This means:
- Every pin shown on this campaign will be available as a pledge option
- Every physical reward will come with a Shiba Sword pin
We still have a couple more days! I'll be at Kumoricon in Portland OR this weekend at artist alley booth K4 so come say hi if you're here! Show me your pledge confirmation and I'll give you a little freebie!
Also, I'm going to make a form soon for the UK/EU backers so I can keep you all in one place. It'll basically be like the survey I'll be sending to all backers. Hopefully I'll have it ready before the campaign ends.
If you're in Germany, I need to double check if I can even send to you guys right now. I heard it might not be possible from a few other pin artists. Stand by, I'll try to figure something out.
Anyways, cheers! Thank you again!

PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: Onwards - The Final Push!
Hello everyone! Wanted to give a quick update as we are now at the one week remaining mark!
I've never done a fan art pin campaign, but it's going very well! Progress has been quite steady and at the current pace we are still set to fund all stretch goals. Here's our current progress!
I'm also offering up a little incentive - a free pin for all physical rewards if we can fund all stretch goals!
Those who have been around for a bit know this is my Shiba Inu, Mona! She was finally made into a teapot earlier this year but I wanted to made this pin as well because it's very her! She has this time every night where she gets suuuuuper hyper and plays super hard. We call it her violence hour! Don't worry, she doesn't actually play with a knife.
I'll be at Kumoricon this weekend in Portland, Oregon in the artist alley! My booth number changed (did a swap with another artist) so I'm at K5 in between Chrimson Chains/Kaizuart (Ink Junk) and Jaizure/Pokettoni (Alumeire). It'll be a very dangerous area to be in if you fancy pin collecting! I'll be doing a little sale/giveaway for people who come to the booth and show proof of their pledge to this campaign, so come say hi if you're there!
Lastly, I have some friends running pin campaigns of their own right now, so please consider checking them out!
Cheers for now! See you at the next update!

PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: Greetings Travelers! We are FUNDED!!!
Hi everyone!
Thank you so much for your interest in my new set of sword pins, and a special thank you to everyone who has already backed! We were funded and then some on day one!! At the time of penning this update we are just a little shy of unlocking Sokka's sword and a bit past the halfway point towards funding every pin revealed on launch. That's EXCELLENT progress! This was never meant to be much more than a fun little pre order based off of fan pin requests, so I'm very pleased and super honoured you all are joining me on this journey!
And, thank you to those in the UK/EU who have already reached out about backing the pins. BackerKit doesn't have a private messaging system so messaging me on my website or my Instagram are going to be the best places to fetch me. I'll try my very best to respond asap!
I'll do another post in a day or so but just wanted to send a quick message to express my gratefulness!
And hmm maybe I'll try to do a stream this week? I haven't tried streaming since I moved away from the city but it might be fun to try.
Anyways, cheers!
