Project Update: That's a wrap!

As of yesterday, all outstanding flame point orders have been dropped off! One last big thanks to everyone who backed, I wouldn't have been able to make this variety of options without you! I hope everyone enjoys their pins and keychains :>
for the future, I'm currently ramping up to do a campaign of fantasy creature pins in january 2025 as a member of pintopia collaboration. I'm running the campaign to try out something new- pin processes like chrome plating, transparent enamel and metal duo toning are really expensive but look gorgeous. I'm putting together a set of 6 pin designs that I hope to use the materials with in really interesting ways. This teaser page is a rough starting point for it: https://www.backerkit.com/call_to_action/1479c3e3-1d2f-4717-8f4e-f527cd23e9a7/landing

Have a wonderful rest of the year!

Project Update: All remaining non flame point orders going out tomorrow! Flame point info and other small things

Hey, it's been a little while! 
I had some packaging shortage issues after the pins came in which made fulfillment sort of a slow trickle over the past few weeks, but i'm happy to say that if your order didn't include a flame point pin or keychain it will be going out tomorrow if it hasn't already! I'll send out the tracking emails shortly so keep an eye out for that.
Flame point redos also went into production earlier this month, everything was approved and paid for right at the beginning of China's week-long National Day holiday so probably went into production around the 8th. I'm going overseas in mid november until december so fingers crossed I get them in hand to send out before then. If not, there should be time for a christmas arrival if i ship them out in early dec if you're in north america at least. Let me know in the comments if you've ordered a flame point and there's any interest in me designing a late arrival letter in the worst case scenario.
On that note, also let me know if there any issues with your order when you receive it!! I will definitely help out however I can. Unfortunately with such a huge amount of similar designs across different product types I think there's a gigantic potential for error on my part. I'm double checking and packing as carefully as I can but unfortunately errors can and do still happen, so please get in touch!

Project Update: Pins are arriving! Locking addresses, pin photos and flame point remaking

Hello! big update today as 2/3 portions of the order have come in! here's some photos-
I'm quite happy with them! many of the keychains are also in but i didn't get to setting up a photo session with them all.
I'm going to begin the process of locking addresses starting next week so please make sure your address is correct! I plan on doing it with notice so you should likely get an extra email reminding you. If you're moving between now and november get in touchand we can work out the best place and time for me to ship you your items!
Some sad news though- i've had one casualty with the flame point pins and they will need extra time to be remade- I dont' have a pastel pantone guide and ended up picking a colour that almost exactly matches the body colour for the point markings- it was meant to be a shade inbetween the stripes and body but it's nearly impossible to see
nooo :(

sadly flame point backers will be stuck waiting an extra month or so while i work with my manufacturer to pic a better colour and have them remade- i'm so sorry!
looking at my notes there's only 10 more designs to come in (SH classic tabby white belly, M tabby white belly, grey tux and sh saddle tux keychain and lh point keychains) I don't have a quote but given the timing of all the other stuff that's come in i expect they'll be here sometime around early oct.
Thanks again and i hope you like how the pins are looking! I tried to vary the colours from marking to marking to get a nice range of what you commonly see with those markings

Project Update: Charging cards friday!

Pins are officially in production!! It sounds like they've actually been in production for a while, but I didn't get the update so I thought they were still managing all the digital files until i checked in on them for an update this afternoon because it had been so long. I don't have a very accurate ETA still but since things are up and moving it's bee charging cards this friday so watch for that. I honestly don't know if backerkit will do the charge immediately or automate a warning period so I'll just say as a heads up it could be as soon as this friday it happens!
also small update that stickers have been printed and are on their way to me! updates will probably be pretty sparse from here un out until the pins and keychains have moved along more.

Project Update: general update, delivery estimate and card charging

Just popping in really quick to say that the files have been completed, sent to the middleman, re-sorted by them and then sent off to the manu themselves. I was told it would probably take them a few days to get through them all just because of the sheer volume.

lol

Last update i estimated that we'd have a quick turnaround based on the number of pieces sold, however after preparing the files and looking at the enormous spread that was selected I think it's back to a november or so estimate- sorry!!  I was shocked to find out that there were few favourites and the numbers came out very evenly spread to 1-3 ordered of nearly every design. With both pins and keychains in the equation this came out to a huge number of setups and colour swaps. There's a possibility that i may do it in a batch of either getting pins or keychains first and sending what i can out upon receipt, so stay posted for that.
I still haven't hit the charge cards button and will do so once i get the quote and go ahead from the manufacturer. I'll write a quick update to warn you it's coming!
