Good morning everyone!

I’ve noticed a few of you asking about the collab pin not showing up on your surveys but never fear - they will be added through the Celestial Beasts project!

I should have made this more obvious as I didn’t realise people would be expecting to see it as an actual item on their list once the survey was finished as we are both very new to Backerkit - please accept my apologies! We decided to use just one of our manufacturers to create both of the collab pins, to ensure that the gold plating would look identical, and to save on postage. Abi will in fact be adding both of our pins to qualifying orders - so if you see the collab pin on her survey, you’re getting mine as well! Both of them will be in the parcel you get from Abi. 

Please do go ahead and finish your survey for Celestial Insects if you haven’t done so yet, and if you have any more questions, just let me know! I’ll try and answer as quickly as possible, but do bear in mind that I am in the Uk so there might be a slight time zone delay. 

Abi and I are also having a chat about what the backing cards should look like at the moment too - watch this space!

Thanks again for your patience, and have a good rest of the week,

Lydia (PhaseMoth)

Ps. It looks like the most popular pin badge is the Gold Moth at the moment! 

Hey everyone!

Good news, the surveys will finally be coming out over the next few days for you all to select which pins you'd like. I've also had an update from my manufacturer with a photo of two of the molds too, check them out! These are the Celestial Stag Beetle and Celestial Moth:

The other two are almost ready now too and I need to get back to them with quantities for each design once I get the surveys back. I'm so excited!

The Pre-order store is also now open!

This is the perfect option for anyone who missed out on the campaign while it was live. Please note - if you're an existing backer, don't use the Pre-order shop as you'll be charged twice for postage! Don't worry - you'll have the chance to add any extras you missed out on during the campaign at the end of your survey, and once you've filled it in and added your postal address, shipping will finally be charged. Keep your eyes peeled on your inbox for your survey link when it arrives! 

If you have any questions regarding the survey, or the pre-order store, just let me know. The survey was quite complicated to get set up, but it should be quite straight forward now to complete. I look forward to seeing which pin design is the most popular. I've got a feeling it might be the Mantis, but we shall see!

Cheers,
Lydia ( PhaseMoth )

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to post a quick update to say thank you so much for backing this project, and I can't wait to get started with the process of making these pin designs a reality for you all~!

I'm building the surveys now for each pledge tier, and will be sending them off for review very soon - keep an eye out in your inbox for another update once they give me the go ahead and you'll then be able to let me know exactly which pin designs and add-ons you would like.

Failed Payments

Payments for the funding are currently being processed, and as it stands currently, details on my end are showing that there are 39 failed pledges. Please can I ask you all to check your details and make sure your payment has gone through!  You can do this by going to your profile menu and clicking "Your Pledges & Surveys". Click on "Celestial Insects" and check if you were successfully charged. If the charge failed, you can retry charging your card by re-entering your card information. If you have any questions, please let me know!

That's all for now, and I'll be back in touch with another update once the surveys are ready to go. :)

Cheers,
Lydia 

Good afternoon everyone!

It's finally time for me to reveal the new design for the Celestial Insects collection, the Celestial Scorpion!

Both the Gold and the Rainbow versions of this design are available, bringing the total number of pins in this collection up to eight. I hope you all like them, and I've updated both the campaign page and available tiers to reflect this. This means that the original "All In" Tiers now cover 6 pins, rather than the full set of 8, just as a heads up!

What to do if you want to add the extra pins to your pledge:

If you're an Early Bird backer on the "All In" Tier, and you want to add 2 extra pins, EDIT YOUR PLEDGE, RATHER THAN CANCELLING IT, as this still works out cheapest!

If you're on any other Tier, go for the new "All Eight" Tier to get the best deal on the full set. If you want a mix of different designs, just use the Add-Ons feature to add as many extra pins you want that way. Just message me if you have any questions about this, as I appreciate it might be a little confusing and I apologise for this - I had absolutely no idea the campaign would do this well, and I appreciate your support beyond words!

Add-Ons!

As discussed in my previous update, I also wanted to add some extras for you to choose from and add to your pledges. I'm so excited to announce that you can now add a Limited Edition "Moth Beast" foil print to your pledge, check it out:

I will only be printing 100 of these, and once this campaign is over, any leftovers will go into my online store and then once they're gone, they're gone! Backers of Celestial Insects will be able to get one of these for £12, which will be much cheaper than after the campaign ends. 

I've also added some Holographic Stickers too - you can check them all out in the Add-Ons section of the campaign. If you have any questions, please do reach out to me!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

All the best, and keep it spooky,

Lydia ( PhaseMoth )
